Co-rotating twin-screw extruders
Laboratory lines
Co-rotating twin-screw extruders are used in many branches of R&D and Industry, such as Plastic, Rubber, Food, Chemistry for producing, preparing and processing (High Viscous Materials). Modular configurations - easily designed innovative geometries - flexible adaptation - different tasks and material properties Highly effective treatment - continuous way - different products - replacing discontinuous technologies
