Laboratory extrusion line CFL 35

for medical applicationscast-filmfor thermoplastics

Overview
The CFL 35 is a 35 mm cast film line engineered for micro-scale film development in R&D. When paired with Xplore Micro-Compounders it produces reproducible cast films from 5–10 g of material in approximately 5–10 minutes, enabling rapid formulation screening while minimising material consumption.

Key features

• 35 mm casting width for laboratory-scale films.
• Very low material requirement: reproducible films from 5–10 g.
• Fast cycle time: typical film produced in 5–10 minutes.
• Optimised for R&D workflows to accelerate development and reduce costs.
• Designed to operate with Xplore Micro-Compounders for reliable, repeatable results.

Applications

• R&D cast film production when material availability is limited.
• Formulation testing with high-value additives (e.g., nanotubes, APIs, other costly compounds).
• Material screening, development and reproducibility testing with micro-scale samples.
