NEW Xplore MC40 Micro-Compounder
The Xplore MC 40 is Xplore Instrument’s latest innovation. A 40 ml laboratory compounder that will further simplify and accelerate your R&D. It is strong in shear, can handle higher viscosities, larger batches, gives finer dispersion, better mixing and higher operational stability than ever before. Its powerful 24 bits drive is also ultra stable (screw torque), with a small foot print, therefore it gives you more with less.
Melt torque: 40 Nm within the 1 – 500 rpm range!
Made by hand for those who value perfection: Xplore 40 ml lab compounder, a legend experience.
Although it seems a revolution in looks and drive specs, it is an evolution in volume and mixing behaviour:
● larger 40 ml batch size
● rpm range (1-500), higher shear rates hence excellent dispersion, easier to scale up
● screw torque (40 Nm) within the 1-500 rpm range, more stable extrusion rate
● longer residence time in continuous mode compounding
● excellent control over throughput, improved dimensional stability of spun filaments and casted films
● strong accurate 24 bits motor drive, so mixing of higher viscous compounds now possible
● small foot print, lower housing, so easier to move and install in a fume cupboard
● stiffer housing, so less wear of screws and barrel, longer life time, less maintenance
● by design easier to work with, to install add-ons (film or fibre line) and to maintain
● maximum operating temperature 450 C
Much desired options are Xplore’s proprietary rheological software, which enables up-scaling to large parallel twin screw extruders (not possible? Fake news from competition!).
This next generation MC 40 is inspired by Xplore’s customer’s wishes to process larger amounts of material and our drive to continuous improvement. The Xplore MC 40 looks similar to our MC 15 HT, but is very useful when larger yield is desired for subsequent analysing steps, it gives unique application possibilities where amount of processed material is key.
Inspired by the need of our existing customers, our engineers designed the best possible to provide you with an alternative for a difficult to clean and labour intensive laboratory kneader or an old fashioned two roll mill.
This is not a want to have, but a must have for every R&D and quality control lab working with larger amounts of plastics, resins, compounds, elastomers, or film, filament and reactive extrusion.
