The most effective way to develop the future.

Modular construction. Maximum speed. Maximum power density. Safe scale-up. Flexible controls. Optimum line up of machine sizes to cover all ranges of throughput.
The ZSK 18 MEGAlab laboratory extruder is the newest member of the ZSK MEGAcompounder family. This targeted and further development of proven ZSK technology by Coperion Werner & Pfleiderer now extends the performance range of the series to include laboratory applications in the minimum quantity range. The ZSK 18 MEGAlab will live up to the highest expectations, both in the area of production formulation development and in basic scientific research at universities.

Application / Machine.
Highest performance even for the smallest batch sizes.

Small size – large impact
The ZSK 18 MEGAlab applies the successful MEGAcompounder principles to the smallest of customer samples, whether for coloring, color masterbatches engineering plastics, or in the area of powder coating production. In addition to its compact overall size, the ZSK laboratory extruder offers many other advantages:

-Throughput rates up to 40 kg / h
-Small batches of 200 g
-Quick plug & play commissioning
-Full MEGAcompounder torque due to hammered shafts and optimized involute spline
-Reliable, low noise drive concept
-Modular construction with exchangeable 4D barrels and all standard screw elements
-Flight depth of 3.2 mm enables pellet feeding
-Simple to operate via PLC control and touch screen
-Simple handling and quick product changes using quick release lockings
-Online support through built in modem (optional)
-Compact size – mobile base frame and integrated controls, water cooling system and vacuum unit
-Perfect scale-up due to MEGAcompounder features
