Introduction to the Mixing and Extrusion Molding Evaluation Test Device "Laboplast Mill"

This is a testing machine for understanding the processing characteristics of polymer materials such as thermoplastic resins, thermosetting resins, and elastomers.

The Laboplast Mill S series consists of a basic unit, measurement head (mixer/extruder), dedicated frame, data processing unit (with rack), and its accessories. The control of the equipment and data processing and analysis of various characteristic values such as torque, resin temperature, and pressure are performed by a computer. 【Features】 ■ The measurement head is integrated with the dedicated frame, improving operability and safety. ■ Automatic centering function for coupling. ■ Added model 3S500 with a maximum rotation speed of 500 rpm to the lineup. *Sample testing is available at our factory in Kita-ku, Tokyo.

Tabletop mixing and extrusion molding evaluation test device. It allows for processability evaluation with a very small amount of samples using a super compact mixer and extruder.

The "Laboplast Mill Micro" is a tabletop experimental device used for evaluating the kneadability and extrusion characteristics of samples that can only be obtained in small quantities, such as ultra-small volume samples synthesized at the laboratory level, nanoparticles (carbon nanotubes, silica, titanium oxide, etc.), and next-generation composite materials in research and applications. ■ Sample testing is available at our factory (Kita-ku, Tokyo), so please feel free to contact us.

Tabletop mixing and extrusion molding evaluation test device, Laboplast Mill, mixer for micro use. It allows for mixing evaluation tests with a small amount (4-5 cm³) of sample.

● A small amount of sample (4-5 cm³) can be used for kneading evaluation tests (dispersion, wetting, reaction, crosslinking, absorption, etc.). ● A powerful kneading test can be conducted using a gear-type co-rotating blade based on the principle of a twin-screw extruder. ● The strength of kneading can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the sample by rearranging the disk phase of the blade. ● Simple vacuum (degasification), N2 purging (to prevent oxidative degradation) tests, and internal observation (visualization) of kneading are available as options.

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.
