Blown Film Lines
Mono-layer and multilayer laboratory lines with the required extruders, die head, cooling, calibration, take-off and winding equipment.
LabEx · Engineered to Order
Custom-Built Laboratory Extrusion Lines
We design and build laboratory extrusion lines around the product, material and test method required by each customer. The line can start with one extruder or combine several extruders with application-specific dies, cooling, calibration, pulling, cutting, pelletising, winding and control equipment.

Applications
Laboratory lines we can build
Blown film is one possibility. We also develop complete laboratory lines for pipes, tubes, profiles, filaments, strands, pelletising and other customer-specific applications.
Pipe, Tube and Profile Lines
Custom die heads with calibration, cooling, pulling and cutting or winding equipment for pipes, tubes and profiles.
Auxiliary and Planetary Extruders
Compact extruders that can be connected to a production extruder to feed a secondary polymer.
Filament and Strand Lines
Single or multiple strands with cooling, pulling, diameter control, winding or cutting for material development and 3D printing applications.
Compounding and Pelletising Equipment
Dies and die-face pelletising equipment for laboratory or compact compounding and pelletising machines.
Other Customer-Specific Lines
Complete systems developed for a particular product, material, testing method, research project or available laboratory space, subject to technical review.
Complete system
From raw material to the finished laboratory sample
A custom line is more than an extruder and a die head. We select and integrate the process stages needed for the customer’s material, product and test objective.
- Material feeding and dosingManual or automatic solutions selected for the material and test procedure.
- One or more extrudersMono-extrusion or co-extrusion arrangements configured for the application.
- Screws and barrelsProcess components selected for the materials and operating requirements.
- Adapters and filtrationConnections and screen-changing solutions where the process requires them.
- Application-specific die headBlown film, profile, tube, filament, strand or pelletising designs.
- Cutting or pelletisingDownstream processing matched to the required sample or granulate.
- WindingWinding equipment for film, filament, tube or other continuous products.
- Control and dataTouchscreen control and project-specific monitoring or recording functions.
- Line integrationMechanical, electrical and control elements developed as one complete system.
Flexible engineering
Configured around your laboratory and process
The equipment can be arranged as compact modules, pillar-mounted extruders or a complete floor-level line. The final solution depends on the materials, product dimensions, output required for testing, available space and the level of process control.
Flexible Mounting
Table-top, pillar-mounted or complete line arrangements can be considered for the project.
Integrated Control
Control functions are prepared around the selected extruders and downstream equipment.
Designed and built in Denmark
We build the machine around the agreed project specification and use reliable European components, including Schneider Electric control equipment where selected.
Project process
How a custom line is developed
The project starts with the sample you need to produce and the information required to define the process.
Define the Requirement
We review the material, finished product, dimensions, test objectives, available space and utilities.
Prepare the Concept
We define the main process stages and prepare a preliminary line configuration for discussion.
Engineer the Line
After agreement on the concept, the mechanical, electrical and control solution is developed.
Build and Test
The equipment is assembled and checked as an integrated laboratory line before delivery.
Chosen by universities, research centres and manufacturersFor polymer development, teaching, quality control, recycling trials and customer-specific research.
Tell us what you want to produce or test
Send us information about your materials, the product you want to produce, the required dimensions, your testing objectives and the available space. We will prepare a preliminary line configuration for discussion.
