For the cost-effective production of high-quality extruded products, it is essential to obtain accurate information on the behavior of the masses to be extruded.
By integrating the test laboratory into the certified quality management of ECT-KEMA, the foundation has been laid to provide customer-oriented and well-founded results. Our modern ECT-KEMA extrusion laboratory offers a variety of opportunities to conduct the necessary experiments to optimize extrusion processes and extrusion masses.
Take advantage of this potential to achieve optimal results. We offer you targeted and practice-oriented tests.

Raw material and mass analyses
Investigation of raw materials and mass offsets which can be processed with ECT-KEMA machines.
Feasibility tests
Testing of new products and processes in the field of construction, fine and technical ceramics as well as the chemical industry.
Optimisation of mass formulations and kneading curve analyses.
Optimisation of mass formulations and kneading curve analyses.
Determination of rheological data and simulation
Rheological characterisation of plastic masses with the laboratory measuring extruder and design of an extruder using an extruder simulation model (ESM).
Tests
Mixing, extrusion and drying tests on a semi-industrial scale in our pilot plant.
Investigation and optimisation of the design of your extrusion machines.
Investigation and optimisation of the design of your extrusion machines.
Mass and raw material analyses
Analyses of raw materials and production masses, e.g. measurement of moisture, plasticity and grain size.
Further analyses
Further analyses in cooperation with renowned R&D institutes and universities
> Time saving
We are able to test the "extrudability" of your masses and check the extrudate according to your targets and boundary conditions. Our equipment and methodology enable us to simulate extrusion processes very flexibly and at short notice.
> Cost savings through customised extrusion
Parallel to the test and accompanying discussions with you as the customer, we develop a customised concept of an optimal extrusion line, based on your specifications and boundary conditions.
> Reduction of mass input
With the Capillar-Check and our laboratory extruder, we reduce the mass input for a filling volume from 0.4 litres - important for very expensive masses and those available in small quantities.
> Trust
Mutual trust is the basis of our cooperation as partners. It goes without saying that all examinations for our clients are handled discreetly.
We are ISO 9001 certified.
