MASTERBATCHES AND ADDITIVES: THE COST OF LABORATORY TIME
In the development of new masterbatches, laboratory downtime for setup and cleaning the extrusion line between different formulations represents a constant bottleneck for R&D activities. Reducing timeframes without compromising test performance is becoming a strategic necessity for those aiming to transform innovation into a real competitive advantage.
MINIBLOWN: THE EFFICIENT SOLUTION FOR MASTERBATCH AND ADDITIVE TESTING
In laboratory testing, the real difference is made by the flexibility of the line: the ability to switch quickly from one formulation to another while ensuring process repeatability and scalability. At EUR.EX.MA, we designed the MiniBlown range of blown film extruders, combining a compact design with structural versatility that ensures production stability and maximum precision during every formulation change.
THE VERSIONS: OPTIMIZATION AND SCALABILITY
Available in the D20 and D25 versions, the MiniBlown range adapts to specific analytical needs and the volumes required by the laboratory:
- MiniBlown D20: Lab Speed and Precision
The ideal solution for those who prioritize speed. It is configured for rapid preliminary screenings, featuring a film width of 50-180 mm and a throughput of up to 5 kg/h. It represents the perfect balance between material economy and execution speed. - MiniBlown D25: Validation and Industrial Scale:
Designed for laboratories that require validation closer to actual production conditions. Customizable based on the materials processed, it offers a film width of up to 330 mm and a throughput of 10 kg/h. The integration of the rotating haul-off unit ensures superior bubble stability, making it the standard for testing larger and more complex samples.
5 COMPLETE TESTS IN ONE HOUR WITH THE MINIBLOWN D20 EXTRUSION LINE
We tested our MiniBlown D20 laboratory extruder for the validation of various masterbatch formulations. The rear screw extraction system, combined with reduced material consumption, guarantees deep and rapid cleaning. With a test cycle of just 10 minutes, it is possible to process up to 5 different formulations in one hour under ideal conditions, drastically reducing machine downtime. The resulting samples guarantee high quality and repeatability thanks to the control panel that stores every parameter, allowing users to instantly recall saved configurations and restore exact test conditions
