Process Development Lab

Our innovative extrusion test pilot plant allows our customers to perform lab-scale development and small production runs to simulate actual field production conditions. This minimizes scale-up concerns and can verify the design concept when put into full-scale continuous operation. Our expert staff of Process Engineers can assist you with:
