title: Processability with Maillefer Piloting
description: "Do you need both time and a place to study a polymer's processability?
Or maybe run bleed tests, or try another extrusion screw in a different size machine?"

The test extruders at Maillefer are an easy and convenient way to develop your extrusion know-how in optimum conditions. We have three dedicated machines for trials, as well as stock extruders undergoing approval tests.

#### Reserved for you

Three dedicated MXC extruders compose the pilot test capability that are ready for operation at our R&D Center in Switzerland. Reserve them for bleed tests, screw & barrel choice, temperature profile optimization and more.

Choose from either the MXC 80-30D, 60-30D and 45-24D extruders with tooling that corresponds. For closer analysis, the later machine is specially equipped with temperature gauges placed along the barrel’s full length.

#### Conditioned for success

We prepare the extruder configuration for you. Our specialists accompany you throughout the trial period, which typically lasts

1 to 3 days. Recommendations and consultation are provided for:

- Bleed tests
- Screw and barrel selection
- Temperature profile optimization, and more.

Whether testing PVC, PE, PEX, PA, TPU or entirely new formulations, we have a configuration that is suited for your trial needs. Make understanding polymer processability a success thanks to our trial extruders and the Maillefer Piloting program.
