The Xplore MC40, is a 40 ml lab micro compounder. It is an essential piece of equipment for every R&D and quality control lab working with larger amounts of plastics, resins, compounds, elastomers, or film, filament and reactive extrusion.
● 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
Melt torque: 40 Nm within the 1 – 500 rpm range! Download the brochure here:
This next generation MC40 is inspired by Xplore’s customer’s wishes to process larger amounts of material.
Much desired options are Xplore’s proprietary rheological software, which enables up-scaling to large parallel twin screw extruders. The MC40 looks similar to the MC15 HT, but is better for when a larger yield is desired for subsequent analysing steps, it gives unique application possibilities where amount of processed material is key.
