LabEx Laboratory Extruders for Testing, Teaching and Small-Scale Production
LabEx laboratory extruders are built for work with new polymers, bio-based materials and recycled granules: testing formulations, analysing masterbatch dispersion, checking film properties, fine-tuning extrusion settings, and producing narrow tubular film for samples and small batches.

Machine program
The LabEx program
From a compact mono-layer test line to a five-layer co-extrusion laboratory line. All machines share the same control philosophy and parts.
ABA Laboratory Extruder
An A/B/A structure with the same material outside and a different core. Test recycled material in the middle while keeping quality on the outer layers.
See details
3-Layer Laboratory Extruder
Three independent extruders for different materials in each layer: barrier tests, sealing layers and multilayer packaging concepts.

Advantages
Why a LabEx laboratory extruder
All the process steps of a full production line, in a compact format made for the laboratory.
Much lower material use
Test expensive polymers, additives, masterbatch, bio-based and recycled materials with only a few kilograms per trial, not a full production run.
Real production conditions
The same extrusion and blown film steps as a full line, in a compact machine on wheels, so results transfer to production.
Faster, safer testing
Quick to start, adjust and clean for fast recipe development, and a smaller, safer setup for difficult or variable recycled materials.
European quality
Designed and produced in Denmark with reliable European components and Schneider Electric Green Premium parts.
Materials
Materials you can test
Depending on machine configuration, LabEx lines process a wide range of standard, recycled and bio-based materials.
LDPE
LLDPE
HDPE
PP and polyolefin blends
PA
EVOH and barrier layers
Recycled PE (PCR / PIR)
Bio-based polymers (Bio-PE)
Biodegradable & compostable compounds
Masterbatch & additives
Multilayer structures with PA, EVOH and other barrier materials require a line configured for these applications.
Applications
Who uses LabEx extruders
Compact, easy to use, and made for material testing, process development, training and small-scale film production.
Blown film manufacturers
Develop and test new film materials, fine-tune settings, and produce narrow films for special uses or customer samples before full-scale production.
Plastic recycling companies
Check the quality of recycled plastics, test material mixes, and make sure recycled material works well in film production.
Universities and technical schools
Give students hands-on experience in film extrusion and support teaching and basic research on plastic materials.
Research and development centers
Develop and study new plastics, including bio-based and recycled materials, and run many quick tests to improve materials and processes.
Polymer and biopolymer producers
Test how new materials behave during film production and show customers how the materials can be used.
Chemical and additive manufacturers
Test masterbatches, colours and additives in realistic production conditions.
