A torque rheometer that utilizes the newest developments in CAN Field Bus Technology. The unit is equipped with a powerful and reliable serial data communication system for the exchange of messages between different control units. Features a precision digital servo drive system, with a dynamometer full torque range of 0-400 Nm over the entire speed range of 0.2 to 150 RPM. The inverter drive provides for precision and constant speed even under the harshest of testing conditions. Test parameters can be set and evaluated through the user friendly Windows WINMIX and WINEXT software programs. |

The Stand-alone TSE 20/40 Extruder is a self-contained twin-screw extrusion system with a 12kW inverter drive. The advantage of the integrated motor, allows the system to reach a higher rotary speed (max. 1200 rpm) than a Twin-Screw Extruder powered by a drive-unit. The processing unit is a clamshell design with segmented screws. The modular screw design enables the operator to optimize the compounding application by utilizing various kneading, mixing, and shear elements of the screws. The segmented screw elements are interchangeable and can be realigned to adapt to a specific application. The TSE 20/40 is available with barrel lengths of 20 or 40 D. Metering and/or venting ports are located at 10 D, 20 D, and 30 D with side feeding capabilities (12 D and 22 D). Furthermore, the barrel of the TSE 20/40 is divided horizontally, and can be tilted open on both sides to allow visual assessment of individual processing steps. _________________________________________________________________ The Brabender® Mini-Compounder TSE 12/36 is a miniature co-rotating twin-screw extruder with application to the chemical as well as the pharmaceutical industry for development of new products. The scale-down of the machine in combination with the comprehensive adaptability to almost each processing task and the easy handling of the system, explain the distinction of the Mini-Compounder as an excellent laboratory apparatus. The Brabender® Mini-Compounder TSE 12/36 has an integrated drive with an output of 2.4 kW (3.2 HP) and reaches speeds up to max. 600 RPM. The clam shell barrel (length: 36 D) is divided horizontally and can be titled open to allow visual assessment of individual processing steps. Furthermore, ease of mounting the screws and quick cleaning of the barrel is possible. The modular screw concept offers various individual processing possibilities. Even minimum samples as is especially required in the pharmaceutical industry can be processed with the Mini-Compounder. In addition to the main metering, metering or venting ports at a barrel length of 6 D, 12 D and 26 D are available. Side feeding can be installed at 14 D length. Both the Stand-alone TSE 20/40 and the Mini-Compounder are supported by CAN open bus technology. Recording and evaluation of measuring data as well as control of the entire machine system are done with easy-to-handle Windows® based software. |

The co-rotating and counter-rotating Conical Twin Screw Extruder is ideally suited for quality control, product development and research applications...the screws allow a uniform forward flow regardless to the degree of flight filling, feeding uniformity, polymer flow characteristics, or back pressure. The co-rotating channel allows material to flow from one screw to the other in a constant wiping motion. In contrast, the counter rotating chamber produces a milling action between the screws similar to a calendering process...materials can be metered with precision feed units to exact specifications, while the barrel of the extruder is designed to allow additional materials such as liquid monomers, colors or plasticizers to be added at various stages of the testing process. |
Company Profile
C.W. Brabender® Instruments, Inc. for over 85 years has manufactured testing equipment designed for measuring and recording viscosity, consistency, thermal stability, plasticity, rheology, extensibility, and processability of various polymers. Brabender® is the original manufacturer of the torque rheometer. The recording dynamometer system was developed by Carl W. Brabender in 1930. The first recording dynamometer unit was known as the Farinograph® and was manufactured for the Milling & Baking Industry to measure the consistency of dough. During the mid 1930's growing developments in the Chemical Industry required updated technology to define the processing characteristics of various polymers. The inventive solution to the growing concerns was met by Carl W. Brabender with the introduction of the Plastograph® -- a bold evolutionary leap built upon the roots of the Farinograph®. Since its early inception the Plastograph® has developed into the world-renowned Plasti-Corder® ...today's Plasti-Corder® torque rheometer utilizes the latest developments in CAN (Contoller Area Network) Field Bus Technology...
