Extrusion

The BMP has a long history of excellence in extrusion research. The BMP has a wide range of laboratory extrusion equipment, including a C. W. Brabender single screw, conical twin screw and segmented parallel twin extruders. We also have an InstaPro commercial extruder at our pilot plant in Mead, Nebraska at the Agricultural Research and Development Center.

The advantage of working with small laboratory equipment is that it does not take as much material to conduct product development work as it would with pilot plant scale equipment and we can process several different formulations in the same day. Once the desired formulations are selected, we also can produce small quantities of product for initial product testing.
