MiniLab - Compounder and Reactor

Abstract

The use of a conical twin screw extruder with backflow channel combines aspects of mixing and extrusion in a batch process. Tests and results of the new MINLAB mircocompounder are discussed in the following paper. With a total filling volume of 7 ml and a built in slit capillary die the applications focus on compounding and reactions of small amounts of polymers in molten stage.
