SJ25 Laboratory Extruder
A compact, high-precision laboratory extruder engineered for R&D, pilot runs, and small-scale production across polymers and advanced materials. The SJ25 combines stable melt control, flexible screw configurations, and smart data acquisition to accelerate formulation development and scale-up.
SJ25 Laboratory Extruder
Key Features
Precision Process Control
- Closed-loop temperature control across barrel zones for steady melt temperature and uniform plasticization
- High-torque drive with fine speed resolution ensures stable output at ultra-low throughputs
- Modular screw and die system for rapid changeover and fine-tuned shear/mixing profiles
Versatile Material Compatibility
- Supports thermoplastics (PP, PE, ABS, PET, PA), elastomers, filled composites, bioplastics (PLA, PBAT), and recycled materials
- Optimized for masterbatch, color compounds, wood-plastic composites (WPC), flame-retardant and glass-fiber reinforced formulations
- Corrosion- and wear-resistant metallurgy available for abrasive and reactive systems
R&D-Centric Design
- Quick-clean barrel and split design options to shorten downtime between trials
- Integrated data logging for torque, melt pressure, temperature, and throughput—ideal for DoE and parameter mapping
- Optional gravimetric feeders, screen changer, and pelletizing systems for end-to-end lab lines
Energy-Efficient and Safe
- High-efficiency motor and barrel heating with smart insulation reduce specific energy consumption
- Multi-level safety interlocks, emergency stop, and over-torque protection for operator safety
- Low-noise, compact footprint suitable for laboratory and pilot environments
