Q1. What are the key benefits of a lab extruder?
Q 2. Why are lab extruders increasingly becoming a necessity in industries
and universities?
To understand the key benefits of a lab extruder we must understand what a Lab Extruder is
first.
A Lab extruder is a scaled down version of an actual extruder whose bulk performance is
almost identical to the scaled up extruder.
A Lab Extruder has the following features: powerful functions, easy operation, simple
parameter adjusting and precise data.
Lab Extruders offer numerous process technical advantages;
v
A Lab extruder offers realistic extrusion on a
laboratory scale.
v
Helps in optimizing the process parameters.
v
A lab extruder is highly modular in nature & hence
eases of change of application.
v
It helps in studying the rheological properties of
the material.
v
Helps in material development.
v
It offers flexibility in operating conditions.
v
It accommodates instrumentation of an extruder.
Nowadays, industries are more focused towards materials development and R&D. A lab
extruder is highly efficient in providing real-time extrusion in a laboratory. This helps in
innovation of newer materials at a lesser price. Plus, polymer compounding industries use it
for trial production before extrapolating to a bigger scale. This leads to minimum wastage
and is cost-effective.
Lab extruder is gaining popularity in Universities and Polymer colleges as it offers real-time
extrusion and helps in academic research. It offers a combination of theory, practice in
teaching & science study. STEER offers OMICRON 12, ALPHA 18 and OMEGA 20 for R & D
labs, industries and universities.
