About Used Laboratory & Pilot-Scale Extruders

Laboratory and pilot-scale extruders are small-bore machines (typically 3/4" to 1.5") used for R&D, color matching, formulation development, and small-batch production. Both single-screw and micro twin-screw lab extruders let processors develop and validate formulations before scaling to production lines.

When buying a used lab extruder, consider screw diameter, torque, available downstream accessories (pelletizer, film/strand take-off), and control/data capabilities. Meadoworks stocks laboratory and pilot extruders from Brabender, ThermoFisher/Haake, Leistritz, and American Kuhne. Contact us at 800-323-0307.
