The Xplore MC 15 HT is a high-torque laboratory micro-compounder designed for advanced R&D and high-viscous material development.

The Xplore MC 15 HT combines efficiency, reliability and process stability, delivering 40 Nm of melt torque across the full rpm range and is specifically optimized for processing high-viscosity and highly concentrated polymer compositions.

Small material volumes reduce cost and development time

By working with small material volumes, the micro-compounder reduces waste, cost, and development time while maintaining precise control and robust construction. Its compact design fits on a laboratory bench or inside a standard fume hood, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure.

The Xplore MC 15 HT represents the cutting-edge in 15 ml compounder technology, engineered to enhance and streamline your R&D processes.

Advanced design for precision and reliability

Its advanced design provides superior shear strength, enabling the processing of higher-viscosity materials with finer dispersion, improved mixing quality, and enhanced operational stability.

With double the rotational speed (rpm), double the screw torque strength, and unparalleled stability, the Xplore MC 15 HT delivers exceptional performance while minimizing spatial requirements, occupying less than half the footprint of earlier models.

Designed for precision and reliability, the Xplore MC 15 HT is a robust tool for scientists seeking faster, stronger, and more accurate results in polymer research and material development.

With a screw torque of 40 Nm, processing rubbers and elastomers becomes effortless, even when using fully intermeshing screws.

This design delivers significantly more thorough mixing compared to the commonly used tangential screw mixers. Every cubic centimeter of material exhibits identical properties, ensuring unparalleled consistency. In contrast, tangential screw designs often struggle to produce uniform samples, making consistency a persistent challenge.

Key features

• High-quality fast results provide relevant rheological data.
• Reliable, reproducible, repeatable. Two times three separate heating zones offer perfect control of the process temperature.
• An abrasion and chemical resistant barrel that is fluid-tight generates reproducible processing and rheological data over many years.
• Excellent mixing reduces the processing time and the machine is easy to clean, minimizing turnaround time between batches.
• Sample volume is 15 ml (with Vari-Batch® option: 3 ml, 7 ml, and 15 ml) to enable earlier testing and reduce screening costs.
• Quick exchange of samples and screws to run different experiments in a short turnaround time frame.
• Recirculation channel length, process time, mixing and dispersion parameters for different formulations and tests can be chosen at will.
