01 / 04 — OVERVIEW
The Hybrid ZE 9/12 is configured for laboratories compounding filled polymers, chopped glass or carbon fiber, mineral systems, and higher-viscosity melts. The 9 mm barrel supports efficient development work, while the 12 mm configuration supplies up to 20 Nm of torque and accepts optional side feeding for reinforcement or filler. The optional recirculation channel supports timed batch mixing, and both diameters share the same frame and control architecture for continuous work.
02 / 04 — FEATURES
Two screw diameters on one table-top frame
Shared heaters, cooling, dies, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors
Continuous processing or timed batch recirculation on the same machine
Modular screw elements for formulation-specific mixing
Independent thermal control with live process monitoring
Optional side feeding for chopped fiber, filler, and staged addition
