MAS 24 and 55 laboratory extruders
for material tests
Material sampling and recipe development on a small scale



The MAS 24 and MAS 55 laboratory extruders enable the processing of all thermoplastics in very small quantities. The innovative laboratory equipment from MAS acts as an ideal compounding system for formulation development, material sampling, incoming material inspection and basic scientific research. With the MAS 24, the smallest extruder in the MAS series, and the larger MAS 55 variant, the material input and the influx of additives are deliberately kept to a minimum without compromising on quality. Discover the advantages of a MAS laboratory extruder for yourself!

Simple maintenance
Fast and effective, without system downtime
Cost savings
dank low material input and low additive inflow, primarily for use in test environments
How the laboratory
extruder works
Our MAS 24 laboratory extruder, with a diameter of 24 mm at the processing unit, works like a conventional twin-screw extruder, but in a compact frame. This smallest extruder in the series has only a small material input and an output of 15–30 kg — ideal for test runs and recipe development without large amounts of material. For larger quantities of material and further test runs, the MAS 55 laboratory extruder with a diameter of 55 mm on the processing unit is ideal.
Thanks to the extremely large feed opening, the conically co-rotating twin screw enables the processing of all grinding materials, but also lighter recycling fractions such as flakes — a size similar to production plants (< 15 mm). The additives are also added via the large feed opening. With the optionally available side feed opening for a melting extruder, a twin compound system can also be implemented on a laboratory scale.

How to use the laboratory extruder
The compact processing unit and the low throughput make the laboratory extruder the perfect testing and sampling tool. In our technical center, MAS Austria tests with a MAS 24 laboratory extruder as well as a MAS 55 for further tests and larger material quantities, allowing plastic qualities and additive inflows to be evaluated under realistic production conditions.
All laboratory extruders are characterized by high speed and high quality. Settings for the development of formulations can be made quickly and easily, with low material costs: another plus point for very expensive plastics and additives. By analyzing the material input and flow, it is also possible to determine whether and how certain plastics can be fed into the recycling and upcycling process, and the MAS 24 and MAS 55 laboratory extruders are ideally suited as production systems for very expensive plastics in very small quantities.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
The conical shape is very advantageous when melting the material, where with little shear and very short dwell time, the material is damaged as little as possible

We always have to try to buy as good as possible to produce top quality regranulate. And we do that with the technology we bought from MAS.

Fatra was satisfied with the MAS cooperation, the possibility of tests before ordering with, MAS innovative solutions and the final production performance achieved.

The Twin Screw Extruder from MAS is an engineering feat in the field of plastics recycling. Coupled with the superb performance of the Continuous Disc Filtration easily makes it the best recycling system in the world. Truly a masterpiece.
