Laboratory Single-Screw Extruder W12
W12 is a laboratory single-screw extruder with a simple, compact design and easy operation. It is designed for processing thermoplastic materials (PE, PP, PA, PVC) with a capacity of up to 2 kg/h. Thanks to the very low material requirement (from approx. 100 g), it is especially suitable for educational institutions, research organizations, and laboratory testing.
The extruder can also serve as essential equipment for R&D departments in companies – for developing new products, optimizing process parameters, and performing quality control before scaling up to larger production.
The machine can be equipped with either traditional (analog) controls or computer-based control with a PLC and touch panel, enabling features such as timed heater start-up, drive control, peripheral synchronization, melt pressure and temperature measurement, safety interlock if the set temperature has not been reached, fault logging, and process data archiving.
W12 can be complemented with peripheral equipment (extrusion dies, cooling baths, haul-off units with winding, conveyors, pelletizers, etc.), allowing complete processing lines to be configured for various applications.

Configuration code
Compact laboratory extruder for education, research and R&D
W12 is a laboratory single-screw extruder designed for processing thermoplastics (PE, PP, PA and PVC). Thanks to its simple, compact design and easy operation, it is suitable for universities, research organizations and corporate R&D departments. It enables laboratory testing with a minimal material requirement – from approx. 100 g.
If you need help recommending a configuration and suitable peripheral equipment (cooling bath, haul-off unit, winder, pelletizer, etc.), please contact our technicians.
W12 – laboratory single-screw extruder (PE/PP/PA/PVC)

The W12 extruder is designed for laboratory processing of thermoplastic materials with an output of up to 2 kg/h. It is suitable for teaching extrusion processes, material testing, and preparation of laboratory samples.
The unit can also be part of an R&D workplace in companies – for the development of new products, optimization of process parameters, and quality control before moving to industrial-scale production.
The machine can be equipped with analog or computer-based control with a touch panel, enabling, among other functions: timed heater start-up, drive and screw speed control, synchronization of peripheral equipment, melt pressure and temperature measurement, safety interlock if the set temperature has not been reached, fault logging, and process data archiving.
W12 can be complemented with peripheral equipment and configured into complete processing lines for film production (blown and flat), strands and tapes, pipes and profiles, or pelletizing.
