Conical Twin-Screw Extruder

A Technical Guide to the Hartek Conical Twin-Screw Extruder

For researchers and compounders working with high-viscosity materials—rubbers, engineering resins, and bio-based polymers—the difference between a successful formulation and a failed experiment often comes down to three critical parameters: temperature profile, screw speed, and draw ratio. These are not merely settings to be dialed in arbitrarily; they are interdependent variables that determine melt quality, dispersion […]

Benchtop Film Extrusion Line

MT16 Benchtop Lab Film Extrusion Line

For polymer film researchers, the path from a promising new formulation to a production-ready product is rarely straightforward. You know the scenario all too well: a carefully developed formula that performs beautifully in the lab, yet demands kilograms of expensive engineering plastic just for a single trial run on production-scale equipment. Film thickness fluctuates unpredictably.
