XTS11 Laboratory Twin Screw Extruder

The XTS11 is the smallest Twin Screw Extruder in the XTS range and is ideal for sampling and R&D purposes. This Twin Screw Extruder is particularly well suited to pharmaceutical applications and small batch testing. Additionally, for high value or sensitive materials the XTS11 can run at very low throughput.

  • Features
    • Clamshell barrel for quick cleaning and maintenance.
    • Insert liners which can be made from wear or corrosion resistant materials.
    • Segmented screw elements for easy maintenance.
    • Individually controlled heating zones (3D or 6D).
    • PLC controls with operator-friendly HMI screens.
    • Liquid injection which can add solvent, liquids, and oils to the formulations.
  • Optional Extras
