This is a twin-screw extruder for the "Laboplast Mill," a mixing and extrusion molding evaluation testing device that employs a segmented screw design.

● It is a segment system that allows for free reconfiguration of the screw. ● By combining screw segments, you can adjust the strength of mixing and change the mixing zones. ● It is equipped with a vent port and a side feeder hole that allows for sample supply from the middle. ● The screw rotation speed is twice the motor's set rotation speed, enabling high shear mixing. ● Since it rotates in the same direction, it has self-wiping properties.

Tabletop mixing and extrusion testing device, Laboplast Mill, extruder for micro applications. Despite its small size with a diameter of 15mm, it is a geared co-rotating twin-screw extruder, allowing for powerful mixing.

● Despite its small size with a diameter of 15mm, it is a gear-type co-rotating twin-screw extruder, allowing for powerful mixing. ● By rearranging the screw segments, mixing with varying intensities can be achieved in any zone, and degassing is also possible. ● Based on the information obtained from the mixer, a small amount of compound can be sampled. (Internal cylinder volume: approximately 31cm3, discharge amount: approximately 1.8kg/h) ● It can detect data on pressure, resin temperature, and torque, providing information on mixing processing conditions. (Pressure sensor is optional) ● It allows for precise feeding with a small quantitative feeder.

This column is a special series consisting of 12 installments themed around user manuals. In the first installment, we will focus on the often-overlooked "risks of postponing the user manual" in relation to CE marking compliance. In the process of obtaining CE marking, attention is often concentrated on design and safety measures, leading to cases where the preparation of the user manual is delayed. However, in practice, deficiencies in the user manual can lead to the following issues: - Rejection just before the review - Increased costs due to design revisions - Schedule delays - Product liability (PL liability) risks after shipment Even if CE marking is obtained, it is important to be aware that insufficient information provision can leave risks associated with the product.
