MC 40
The Xplore MC 40 is a high-torque laboratory micro-compounder designed for larger-volume material development in both batch and continuous processing. It combines robust construction, reliable operation and precise process control in a compact system that fits on a laboratory bench or inside a fume hood. Its 40 ml batch capacity enables greater flexibility for material screening and sample preparation, while supporting continuous operation for process-oriented R&D. With a maximum melt torque of 40 Nm across the full rpm range, the system enables controlled shear rates and effective mixing of high-viscosity polymer compounds, supporting stable processing conditions and reproducible results.
With a screw torque of 40 Nm, processing rubbers and elastomers becomes effortless, even when using fully intermeshing screws. This design delivers significantly more thorough mixing compared to the commonly used tangential screw mixers. Every cubic centimeter of material exhibits identical properties, ensuring unparalleled consistency. In contrast, tangential screw designs often struggle to produce uniform samples, making consistency a persistent challenge.
