Getting new compounds faster and documenting structural changes online has never been easier. The HAAKE MiniLab 3 Micro Compounder is a conical, twin-screw compounder with an integrated backflow channel. The compounder works as either a stand-alone unit or can be fully computer-controlled system, and can be used with either co- or counter-rotating screws. It is equipped with an inert gas flush system. Due to its channel and a bypass valve design, the residence time is well defined. Two pressure transducers are integrated in the backflow channel, which allow the measurement of relative melt viscosity when counter-rotating screws are used. Using the optional force feeder with the HAAKE MiniLab 3 Micro Compounder, continuous extrusion with very small volume flows is possible.The HAAKE MiniLab 3 Micro Compounder Features:
• Co- and counter-rotating twin screws
• Integrated viscosity measurement (with HAAKE PolySoft OS)
• Automatic bypass operation for circulation/extrusion
• Pneumatic feeding
• Local control via tablet (Android™) for intuitive operation
• Split barrel exit for easy cleaning
• Compact enough to fit into laboratory fume hood Recommended for material science research, such as testing expensive additives and developing new formulations.
