KEY STEPS OF THE KNEADING LABORATORY TRIALS

STEP 1

Definition of customer requirements
Gathering of information

STEP 2

Test protocol proposal

STEP 3

Laboratory
And/or pilot tests

STEP 4

Capitalising on results: proposal for a finalised technical solution with presentation of report & questions/answers

RESULTS OF THE KNEADING LABORATORY TRIALS

1. Determine the optimal kneading parameters according to your expectations and priorities (production rate, conformity of the output product, etc.).

Examples of parameters that can be defined for these tests:

/ Residence time of flowrate for sizing the kneader
/ Right conformity of the mixture
/ Process parameters

/ Mechanical and electrical parameters
/ Other options: thermoregulation unit, or vacuum, cooled shafts, etc.

2. Obtain recommendations to define the industrial equipment that will guarantee your results from kneading experts and an ISO 9001-certified laboratory.
