Thermo RheoMex QC Extruder and Hoppers

For testing the quality and processability of those materials, the single-screw laboratory extruder 19/25 QC is a proven tool. With over 35 years of expertise, we have developed a wide variety of different screw designs that are guaranteed to provide the best performance.

Typical applications for single-screw extruders are as follow:

• Testing melting behavior
• Testing individual and combined influences of additives (stabilizer, lubricant) and functional additives (antioxidation, UV-stabilizers, pigments and fillers)
• Processability of newly developed materials
• Manufacturing homogeneous melts
• Manufacturing films, foils, strands and profiles for optical and mechanical testing as well as outdoor exposure tests
• Measuring rheological behaviour (viscosity, elasticity)
• Foam extrusion
• Extrusion of PVC compounds
• Blown films
• Cast films and sheet
• Extrusion of ceramic materials or PIM-compounds
• Rheological testing with special dies
