Xtrutech Inc. specializes in the design and manufacturing of twin screw extruders that are ideal for research, development, and small-batch production. The XTS lab extruders series offers versatile solutions for various applications, including thermoplastics, medical plastics, biopolymers, fine chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. These machines are engineered to support high-quality results in lab-scale trials and small-scale production while offering easy maintenance and customization.
XTS Series Laboratory Twin Screw Extruders
Xtrutech’s XTS Series includes four twin screw extruders—XTS11, XTS19, XTS24, and XTS35—made to support a wide range of processing needs from laboratory research to small-scale production. All models feature clamshell barrels for easy cleaning, segmented screw elements for quick maintenance, and precision-controlled heating zones for reliable performance. Below is a quick overview of each model and its core capabilities:
XTS11 – Precision for Small Batches and R&D: The XTS11 is the smallest in the series with an 11mm screw diameter, designed specifically for sampling, small-scale research, and early-stage formulation development. Its low throughput helps minimize material usage and waste, making it an excellent choice for processing high-value or sensitive compounds. Features like liquid injection ports, PLC-based process controls, and quick disassembly allow researchers to run multiple tests efficiently while maintaining a high level of precision and cleanliness.
XTS19 & XTS24 – Versatile Testing and Trial Production: The XTS19 (19mm) and XTS24 (24mm) models offer greater processing capacity for users moving beyond basic R&D into small batch production or formulation testing. Both support barrel lengths from 24D to 54L/D and offer multipoint liquid injection, atmospheric venting, and vacuum extraction to support complex formulations. The main difference lies in scale—while the XTS19 is more compact and suited to benchtop testing environments, the XTS24 provides slightly higher free volume and throughput, making it better suited for trial production or scaling up formulations before full production. Both machines can be configured for a wide range of polymers, blends, and additives.
XTS35 – Scalable for Production and Specialty Products: The XTS35 is the largest and most production-capable model in the XTS range, featuring a 35mm screw diameter and enhanced free volume. It is ideal for low-scale manufacturing of specialty products or final-stage trials that demand higher material throughput. The XTS35 retains all the laboratory-friendly features of the smaller models—such as the clamshell barrel and segmented screws—while also offering full integration with Xtrutech’s ancillary equipment. This model is especially suited for teams that need a bridge between laboratory development and full-scale manufacturing.
Optional Features and Ancillaries
All XTS laboratory twin screw extruders can be equipped with optional features such as liquid feeders, side feeders, and a variety of laboratory ancillaries to support diverse processing requirements. These additions enable the customization of the extrusion process, making it easier to achieve desired results across various formulations and materials.
