What Is A Lab Scale Twin Screw Extruder?
Lab scale twin screw extruder is primarily used for the research and development of polymer plastics. Laboratory extruders are used for testing new materials or new formulation. With a Laboratory extruder, you can produce low volumes or do pilot tests. And it is typically found in the research and development of universities, companies and research institutes. The main feature of lab twin screw extruder is the small diameter of the screw, which largely reduces the use of materials in the application and development.
Currently, the world trend of laboratory twin screw extruders is high torque, high speed and low energy consumption, and the result of high speed is high productivity. The Granuwel GTE series lab twin screw extruder belongs to this category and can reach a maximum speed of 750 rpm. As a result, it has distinct advantages in processing high-viscosity and heat-sensitive materials.
Lab Single Screw Extruder VS. Lab Twin Screw Extruder
The lab single-screw extruder adopts the integral structure, which consists of three parts: charging section, melting section and metering section.
Compared with the lab single-screw extruder, the laboratory twin-screw extruder has more advantages.
(1) The average dwell time of the material is short. The distribution of the dwell time is narrow, generally between 1 and 10 minutes.
(2) The mixing of materials will be better under the action of high shear and kneading force.
(3) Lab twin screw extruder has high self-cleaning ability, the two screws engage each other and scrape each other to reduce the waste of materials.
(4) The lab scale twin-screw extruder has strong controllability of operating parameters, the screws in each section can be matched at will, with flexible and changeable characteristics, and the die opening can be changed at will according to the shape.
(5) Mixing ability is strengthened; distributed mixing and dispersive mixing are interlaced, making the mixing of drug and carrier materials more uniform.
What Are The Common Types of Laboratory Extruders?
By feeding method: Laboratory extruders can be divided into cold-feed extruders and hot-feed extruders.
Hot feed extruders are mostly used as preforming machines or filtering rubber equipment in production, the production efficiency of hot feed extruders is usually higher than cold feed extruders, but they are not equipped with temperature control system, so the production stability is not as good as cold feed rubber extruders.
The advantage of cold feed rubber extruder is that it can continuously feed to ensure the pressure in the screw barrel, which allows good pressure constancy in production. Cold feed extruder usually has a much higher configuration than the hot feed extruder, and the cost is also much more expensive.
Nowadays, cold-feed rubber extruders are mostly used for the extrusion and production of finished products, and the design of rubber extruders varies according to the specificity of the extruded rubber.
Granuwel laboratory extruder products are fully functional and easy to operate, and can be applied to formula development, process optimization, quality control, innovation research, technician and student training, etc.

Lab Twin Screw Extruder Specifications
When choosing a lab twin screw extruder, several specifications should be considered. Here are the key parameters to look for:
Screw Configuration
The screw configuration is the design and arrangement of the twin screws inside the barrel. There are several types of screw configurations, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The most common configurations are:
Co-rotating: Both screws rotate in the same direction, allowing for high shear and mixing capabilities. Co-rotating screw configurations are suitable for processing materials with high viscosity and high filler content.
Counter-rotating: The screws rotate in opposite directions, which creates a shearing action that improves mixing and melting. Counter-rotating screw configurations are suitable for processing materials with low viscosity and high screw speed.
Intermeshing: The screws have intermeshing lobes that mesh with each other, providing high shear and mixing capabilities. Intermeshing screw configurations are suitable for processing materials with low to medium viscosity.
Screw Diameter
The screw diameter refers to the diameter of the screws inside the barrel. It is usually measured in millimeters (mm) or inches (in). The screw diameter affects the extruder’s throughput, mixing, and pressure buildup. A larger diameter screw can process more material per unit of time, but it also requires more power and can create more shear stress. A smaller diameter screw can provide better mixing and pressure buildup, but it may not have enough throughput for high-volume production.
Screw Length
The screw length refers to the length of the screws inside the barrel. It is usually measured in multiples of the screw diameter (L/D ratio). The screw length affects the residence time of the material inside the extruder, which influences the degree of mixing and melting. A longer screw can provide more mixing and melting, but it also requires more power and can create more shear stress. A shorter screw can provide faster processing time and less shear stress, but it may not achieve optimal mixing and melting.
Barrel Configuration
The barrel configuration refers to the shape and design of the extruder’s barrel. There are several types of barrel configurations, including:
Smooth bore: The barrel has a smooth inner surface, which provides low shear and less mixing. Smooth bore barrels are suitable for processing materials with high filler content and low shear sensitivity.
Various forms of cylinder structure, can realize the side feeding, liquid filling, exhaust, long glass fiber introduction, short glass fiber lateral addition, side forced exhaust and other functions, so as to achieve the purpose of multi-purpose with one machine, one machine with multi-functions.
Motor Power
The motor power refers to the amount of power required to rotate the screws inside the barrel. It is usually measured in kilowatts (kW) or horsepower (hp). The motor power affects the extruder’s throughput, mixing, and pressure buildup. A higher motor power can providea higher throughput and better mixing, but it also requires more energy and can generate more heat.
Heating and Cooling
Heating and cooling systems are important for controlling the temperature inside the barrel. Most lab twin screw extruders come with a heating system that includes heating elements and temperature sensors. The heating system can be used to melt the material and maintain it at the desired temperature. A cooling system is also required to prevent overheating of the extruder and maintain the temperature of the material during processing.
Control System
The control system is responsible for controlling the extruder’s operation and monitoring the process parameters. It includes a human-machine interface (HMI), a programmable logic controller (PLC), and sensors. The control system can be used to set the process parameters, such as screw speed, temperature, and pressure, and to monitor the extruder’s performance. Some lab twin screw extruders also come with data acquisition systems that can record and analyze the process data.
