·   Caleva will design with you and build specifically for your needs.

·   The extrusion rate can be from 5g samples to commercial gear and screen extruders capable of extruding 500 kg or more per hour.

·   The choice between gear and screen extruders depends on the formulation characteristics and the density of the extrudate required.

·   The right equipment for you would depend on the specific needs of your application - Discuss this with us!
