Laboratory Extruders

Laboratory extruders are used to consistently process and shape material at a very precise level. Many laboratory extruders offer built-in homogenization systems to ensure proper particle size and sufficient throughput by reducing the need for a separate homogenization step. Laboratory extruders are commonly offered in two different configurations. Hand-operated extruders offer a cost-effective option for laboratories that only have the occasional need for extrusion or have limited space, while more robust extruders typically use either a mechanized or gas-powered system to perform the extrusion and offer more consistency and a hands-off operation. When comparing laboratory extruders ensure that the capacity is sufficient for your laboratories throughput. Also, ensure that the pressure range of the extruder is sufficient for the product that you will be extruding.
