Laboratory scale Extruder What is it?
Equipment Description. The Process 16 extruder is a highly modular, flexible extrusion system with a wide range of options and accessories for HMI/TVP processing requirements.
Manufacturer: Thermo Scientific
Model Name: Process 16
Applications: The Process 16 Hygienic version includes all product contact parts constructed of X15TN steel for maximum corrosion resistance and optimal cleanability. For food applications, such as the processing of high moisture meat analogues (HMMA) or the incorporation of flavors into a carrier matrix, a liquid cooling option is available
Instrument Overview: The Process 16 Twin-screw extruder is a floor standing instrument with a compact stainless-steel monocoque housing. This enables fast and thorough cleaning and in addition, reduces the number of visible cables, therefore, minimizing the risk of damage. A clearly structured integrated touch-screen HMI (Human Machine Interface) allows control over all relevant extruder parameters as well as the connected feeding devices. All feeder controllers are integrated, therefore, a connected feeder is automatically detected by the extruder and displayed in the HMI. In addition to the wide range of top feeders that accommodate different types of solids and liquids, secondary side feeding is an option with the Process 16 extruder. Side feeding increases the amount of low-bulk density fillers incorporated in the base matrix.
