Lab & Pilot Vacuum Extruder

back view of lab pilot vacuum extruder machine

A new bench-scale laboratory and pilot type vacuum extrusion machine has been developed by Maxton, designed specifically for research and small laboratory projects. Model JC150, small extruder can provide conclusive extrusion tests on a variety of materials with samples as small as 20-50kgs.

The die is easily removable for quick setup changes, cleaning and sterilization. An integrated mixing system accommodates preparation of small batches with binders or other additives, then deposits the mixed material directly into a feeding hopper.

It also can be a dedicated pilot extrusion machine that’s also capable of continuous small-batch production provides a lower cost alternative whilst delivering excellent results compare to full scale machines. It has been designed to offer the flexibility of a small device for product design and evaluation together with the capacity to operate as a small batch production briqueter.

It also can be used to train staff to run a production plant.

Feature

Produced with German KWS technology according to German standards.
The mixing reducer is equipped with hardened gears which are all grinded, and the extrusion reducer makes use of planet gears with high drive efficiency. It’s one advanced vacuum extrusion equipment in the world.
Self-contained vacuum power unit designed for easy installation and small footprint.
Front-mounted die handles wide range of product shapes and sizes.
Rear opening for filling with homogenous mix.

Understand the effects of change — one variable at a time

The JC150 lets you see the results of changing your variables immediately. You can calibrate with precision to optimize your product performance:

Adjust material formula.
Adjust the percentage of binder or water.
Experiment with different shapes and sizes.
Change the die plates for more or fewer holes.
Run no vacuum, full vacuum or partial.
Analyze adding more or less shear to raw materials, relative to binder, water, and power consumption.

Extruded shapes exit the die ready for product analysis. You can measure drying, firing and curing cycles, compressive strength and density, and conduct drop testing or trembling tests.

This extruder replicates production at a smaller, more affordable scale. The result is rapid prototyping and accelerated product development — for ROI measured in weeks or months, instead of years.
