01 / 05TEST LAB

Bring your sample.
We’ll prove the process.

Our Piscataway, NJ facility runs the full Three-Tec micro-extrusion platform — every extruder diameter, every feeder, every downstream line. Book a trial with as little as one gram of material and walk away with process data you can scale.

02 / 05CAPABILITIES

What you can do here.

01

Gravimetric & Volumetric Feeding

ZD-series flat-tray feeders with gravimetric control down to 0.003 l/h. Pre-blending, loss-in-weight, and volumetric modes available for powders, pellets, and liquids.

ZD 5 FB, ZD 5 FB i6000, ZD 9 FB

02

Melt Extrusion

Twin-screw compounding on 5, 9, and 12 mm barrel diameters. From 1 g batches to pre-production quantities. Full temperature zoning, torque monitoring, and PAT-ready probe ports.

ZE5, ZE5 HMI, ZE9, ZE12, Hybrid

03

Wet & Melt Pelletizing

Strand pelletizing with independent feed-roller and blade speeds (0.5–10 mm) or hot die-face cutting for brittle and highly filled formulations.

Strand Pelletizer, Hot Die Pelletizer

04

Film & Fiber Spinning

Precision-roll calibration and tension-controlled winding for micro film. Mono- and multifilament melt spinning with cross-head die and melt pump for micro fiber.

Micro Film Line, Micro Fiber Line

05

Process Development

Systematic screw-configuration studies, temperature profiling, and residence-time optimization. We document every parameter so you can scale with confidence.

Full platform

06

Contract Small-Batch

When you need material, not data. We run your formulation on validated equipment and ship finished product — granules, film, or fiber — under NDA.

Full platform

03 / 05HOW IT WORKS

From inquiry to trial report in four steps.

01

Define the scope

Tell us your formulation, target form (granule, film, fiber), and any constraints. We propose equipment, screw configuration, and a run plan.

02

Send your sample

Ship as little as 1 g of active and excipient. We store under NDA and prepare the line for your material class.

03

Run the trial

Observe onsite in Piscataway or join by video call. Every parameter is logged — temperatures, torque, feed rate, residence time — and shared in the final report.

04

Review & scale

Receive a full trial report with process data, SEM or optical images if requested, and a recommended equipment configuration for your production scale.
