TSE-30 Lab And Teaching Twin Screw Extruder 1 To 30kg Output with Side Feeder
Product Description
Product Overview
Nanjing Haisi Extrusion Equipment Co., Ltd. introduces the highly adaptable TSE-30 twin-screw compounding and pelletizing line, specifically engineered for both laboratory research and university teaching environments. This highly versatile machine is capable of processing an incredibly wide variety of polymer materials. From fundamental educational demonstrations to advanced formulation R&D, this system delivers industrial-grade precision in a compact footprint.
Advanced System Configuration & Highlights
Ultra-Wide Output Range (1 to 30 kg/h): While a standard 30-size extruder typically operates between 5 to 30 kg/h, we have specially designed this unit to achieve an ultra-low 1 kg/h minimum output for precise micro-testing. This is achieved through a custom-engineered dual main feeder system (a combination of large and small precision feeders), ensuring absolute accuracy even at minimal feed rates.
Versatile Side Feeder Integration: The extrusion line is equipped with a dedicated side feeder. This allows researchers and students to seamlessly introduce various powder fillers, glass fibers (GF), and other shear-sensitive additives downstream into the melt, expanding the scope of composite material testing.
Conveyor Belt Pelletizing for Water-Sensitive Materials: To maximize experimental flexibility for all types of materials, this line features an air-cooling conveyor belt pelletizing system. For polymers and specialized compounds that cannot be processed through standard water baths, the conveyor belt provides efficient, moisture-free cooling and transport to the pelletizer.
Technical Advantages
Dual-Use Design: The intuitive control system and visible processing zones make it the perfect hands-on training equipment for university students, while maintaining the rigorous data accuracy required by professional R&D scientists.
High Formulation Flexibility: The combination of precision main feeding and side feeding means you can experiment with unlimited recipe variations, filler ratios, and reinforcement materials in a single setup.
Cost-Effective R&D: The ability to run stable tests at just 1 kg/h drastically reduces the consumption and waste of expensive experimental raw materials and special additives.
Broad Testing Applications
This multipurpose compounding line is ideal for:
University polymer science education and hands-on training
Glass fiber and carbon fiber reinforcement testing
Inorganic powder filling (Talc, CaCO3) modifications
Water-sensitive polymer and bioplastic compounding
General color matching and masterbatch development
TSE-30 Lab & Teaching Twin Screw Extruder: Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the primary application of the TSE-30 Twin Screw Extruder?
A: The TSE-30 is a highly precise, compact compounding line designed specifically for laboratory research, formulation testing, and university teaching. It is the perfect tool for R&D departments to test new polymer blends, color masterbatches, and engineering plastics before moving to mass production.
Q2: Why is the 1 to 30 kg/h output range ideal for laboratories?
A: In an R&D or teaching environment, raw materials—especially newly developed polymers or special additives—can be extremely expensive or limited in supply.
The 1-30 kg/h capacity allows researchers to run complete compounding tests using a very small amount of material. It provides the perfect balance: it is small enough to minimize material waste during trial-and-error, yet large enough to produce enough pellets for subsequent injection molding or mechanical testing.
Q3: What is the advantage of having a "Side Feeder" on a lab-scale extruder?
A: The side feeder makes this lab machine incredibly versatile. Instead of putting all materials into the main hopper, the side feeder allows you to introduce additives (like calcium carbonate, talc, or color pigments) and reinforcements (like glass fiber) downstream into the already molten polymer.
This split-feeding capability prevents abrasive wear in the early melting zone and preserves the length of fragile glass fibers, accurately replicating professional industrial compounding processes.
Q4: Is the TSE-30 easy to clean during frequent material or color changes?
A: Yes. We know that lab machines process different materials and colors daily. The TSE-30 features a modular barrel and screw design. The screw elements can be quickly reconfigured or removed for manual cleaning. Additionally, the compact size means that running a purging compound through the machine is fast and requires minimal material, keeping your downtime to an absolute minimum.
Q5: Can the data and recipes developed on the TSE-30 be easily scaled up to industrial production?
A: Absolutely. The TSE-30 is built with the exact same geometric proportions (L/D ratio), screw profiles, and thermodynamic principles as our large-scale industrial twin-screw extruders. The shear rates, mixing efficiency, and temperature profiles you record on the lab machine can be reliably and directly scaled up to our commercial production lines without needing to start the formulation process over.
Q6: Why is this specific model recommended for university teaching and training?
A: Beyond its compact footprint and standard safety features, the TSE-30 provides a transparent, hands-on experience for polymer engineering students. The segmented barrel design allows students to clearly understand screw configurations (conveying, kneading, and mixing zones). It equips the next generation of engineers with practical experience on genuine, industry-standard equipment.
