Measuring Mixers

Brabender measuring mixers are interchangeable measuring heads which serve, connected to a Plasti-Corder, lab-station or Plastograph, for determination of thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, ceramic molding compounds, fillers, pigments and much more plastic and plastifying materials under praxis-oriented conditions, cost-effective, reliable and little expenditure of time and material.

  • Easy handling and cleaning through bipartite or tripartite mixer bowl
  • Liquid heating/cooling or with electric heating
  • Precise and constant heating/cooling of the mixers through three in dependent heating zones
  • Operating temperatures of up to 500°C with electric heating
  • Manifold applications through quickly detachable interchangeable mixer blades
  • Large program of additional equipment

Mini-Compounder KETSE 12/36: Innovation for the Plastics Industry

With the new Mini-Compounder KETSE 12/36, Brabender offers a twin screw extruder in miniature scale, which supports the development of new products in the plastics industry.

The scale-down from the production machine together with the extensive adaptability to almost any processing task and the easy operation of the system justify the distinction of the Mini-Compounder as an excellent laboratory unit.

The processing unit of the Mini-Compounder consists of a horizontally hinged cylinder of 36 D length. This allows individual processing steps to be visually evaluated. Furthermore, this provides convenient screw removal and fast barrel cleaning. In addition to the main metering opening at 0 D, free-fall metering or degassing options can be found at barrel lengths of 6 D, 12 D and 26 D. Necessary side metering can be installed at a barrel length of 14 D.

KE 19 Compact Extruder - Versatile and Efficient

Brabender compact extruders are direct-drive, versatile units for testing and processing both polymers and materials used in the food, construction and pharmaceutical industries.

Compact design and convincing technical features make these units the ideal solution for laboratory applications as well as for small-scale production.

A wide range of screws and die heads makes the Brabender® compact extruder the perfect equipment for

  • the development of new products
  • incoming and final inspection
  • quality control during production
  • small-scale production of tubing, pipe, film and other profiles

In addition to manual operation, these extruders can also be optionally integrated into local data networks in PC-controlled mode.

Absorptometer "C": Determination of the oil number

The Brabender Absorptometer "C" is a benchtop instrument with torque measuring system (dynamometer) for accurate and reproducible measurement of the oil absorption number (OAN) of powdery materials. The measuring principle is based on the consistency change of the powder during the absorption of oil.

  • Direct torque measurement without intermediate elements guarantees high reliability and low maintenance costs
  • Automatic, sequence-controlled precision metering pump with preset standard values
  • Cost-effective operation with minimum dead times due to quick and easy replacement of the measuring swages
  • Easy operation due to front panel controls and touch screen
