Three-Tec 50 mm twin-screw extruder for pilot and production scale compounding

01 / 04 — OVERVIEW

The 50 / 77 / 100 mm extruder family extends the Three-Tec platform from laboratory micro-batches to pilot and production throughput. The same co-rotating twin-screw geometry, modular barrel segments, and Siemens control architecture used on the ZE5 through ZE12 carry forward, preserving screw-configuration knowledge and process parameters developed at micro scale. These systems serve pharma, polymer, food, and specialty-chemical producers who have validated formulations on Three-Tec micro extruders and need a geometrically predictable scale-up path without re-qualifying on third-party equipment.

02 / 04 — FEATURES

Pilot and production scale: 50, 77, and 100 mm screw diameters
Geometrically predictable scale-up from ZE5/ZE9/ZE12 micro extruders
Same modular barrel segments and screw-element system as the micro platform
Siemens S7-1500 control architecture consistent across all Three-Tec extruders
Available in cGMP and pharmaceutical-grade configurations
Full downstream integration with Three-Tec feeders, pelletizers, and film/fiber lines
