Extrusion Solutions for Novel Materials
Streamline your compound development
Are your extruders and compounders flexible enough to drive efficiencies, now and in the future?
Thermo Scientific HAAKE extruders and compounders are small, modular instruments that can make a big impact on your bottom line. See below for three products that can enhance your R&D, development, production or QC processes today.
R&D
Doing a lot with a very little bit…
Who
- Researchers
- Material scientists
- Polymer engineers
Concerns
- Tiny amounts
- Precious samples
- Compounding the right material
- Structure / rheology changes from compounding
- Costs and results
Ideal compounding and measurement
- Offers precisely controlled extrusion of high viscous melts
- Uses as little as 5 g or 7 ml of material
- Measures structural changes during compounding
- Channel and bypass valve allow defined residence in time in extruder
- Optional force feeder provides continuous extrusion with small volume
Industries
- Polymers
- Food
- Pharma
- Cosmetics
Requirements
- Flexibility
- Precise compounding
- Simultaneous measurements
- Fast setup
- Easy cleanup and switching
Ideal sample preparation
- Creates ISO/ASTM-compliant test specimens
- Works well with minimal sample amounts from 2 ml to 12.5 ml
- Various geometries available
- Customized molds
Featured compounder
The HAAKE MiniLab 3 Micro-Compounder is used early in the R&D process for materials studies of rheology and structural change.
It needs very little material (5 g) for analysis, and that can be further used in the MiniJet Pro Injection Molding system.
Discoveries made with the HAAKE MiniLab 3 Micro-Compounder can be used to design a continuous process on larger extruders.

Featured extruder
The Thermo Scientific Process 11 Extruder performs well in continuous operation for pilot-scale production.
It requires only a small amount of material (20g/hr) for new material production. Samples of the new material can then be used to create test specimens with the Thermo Scientific HAAKE MiniJet Pro Injection Molding system.
All parameter setpoints and process insights discovered with the Process 11 Extruder can be easily scaled up to larger production systems.
