Precise, efficient and safe R&D solutions
Xplore lab-scale compounders offer high mixing efficiency, flexibility, and durability compared to traditional parallel twin-screw lab extruders. Built for long-term use, with a lifespan of over 10 years, they provide precise control over processing conditions, ensuring high reproducibility, scalability, and efficiency. Our Vari-Batch™ technology (3–40 ml sample volumes) enables early-stage material screening with reduced costs, while quick sample and screw exchange allow flexibility between experiments. Additional features include continuous screw torque monitoring, six-zone heating, and abrasion- and chemical-resistant barrels for reliable processing and accurate rheological data. Easy cleaning with water cooling and cleaning compounds minimizes downtime, while in-line shaping options enable rapid production of injection-moulded specimens, films, and filaments. Xplore systems also support seamless scale-up to larger parallel twin-screw extruders, making them suitable for both research and industrial applications. Backed by over 30 years of Dutch engineering expertise, they provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for formulation development, feasibility studies, and material screening, helping researchers accelerate material innovation and develop high-performance materials.
High quality
The robust design, incorporating high-quality components such as the motor drive, housing, barrel, and screws, ensures superior long-term reproducibility and a prolonged service life. The precision and material quality of these components enable consistent and reliable data generation over time, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of research. This level of quality also facilitates highly reproducible in-line downstream shaping processes, including injection molding, film extrusion, and (multi)filament processing.
Sustainability
The benefits include reduced sample material consumption, lower environmental impact due to minimized contamination, and limited operator health risk exposure. Additionally, the compact footprint ensures efficient use of lab space, optimizing overall laboratory resource utilization.
