Trico-Ram The Three Components Batch Extrusion Process Abstract of the Trico-Ram features: • Three independently speed controlled pistons extrude products within a speed range from 0.00005 to 40 mm/sec • 200 ml reservoirs in all three barrels provide sample volume for batch extrusion processes • Due to independent piston drive control, different volume rates in all three barrels can be maintained • Temperature control from +30°C to +250°C • Extrusion process is monitored and controlled by three extrusion pressure transducers, three product temperature sensors and applied triple piston force control up to 40 kN • Design approved to clean room condition according

Why using a Ram-Extruder instead of continuous working screw extruder? A Ram-Extruder uses the platform of a capillary rheometer, a well proven testing instrument in the polymer industry. Photo (left) and schematic view (right) of the Trico-Ram tripple barrel system • High precision temperature control guarantees stable condition within the reservoir • The heating process in the reservoir is very gentle, compared to undefined mixing in a continuous extruder which might lead to unwanted shear heating • The linear speed driven ram guarantees a constant and stable diameter of the extrudate,...
