The Three-Tec ZE 5 extruder was developed specifically to address such challenges. For the past 10 years, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg has been using a ZE 5 extruder for its research.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The compact ZE 5 laboratory extruder is one of the smallest extruders of its kind in the world and allows for the processing of very small quantities of material while offering a high degree of process flexibility. Extruded products can be produced with as little as one gram of material, making the ZE 5 particularly well-suited for research and early development phases.<\/p>\n<p>For about ten years, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg has been using a ZE 5 extruder in the development of pharmaceutical products. The focus is on bioresorbable polymers such as PLGA and starch, which are processed together with active ingredients and additives to create parenteral drug formulations. The process uses hot-melt extrusion to produce cylindrical extrudates.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason for purchasing the ZE 5 extruder was the ability to efficiently process very small quantities and develop new formulations on a laboratory scale with very small diameters: <strong>\u00abMy biggest personal challenge was manufacturing implants with a diameter of about 300 \u00b5m. Using the ZE 5, we were able to produce reproducible implants as well as a wide variety of formulations.\u00bb<\/strong> says Dr. Eric Lehner of Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.<\/p>\n<p>It is precisely this combination of minimal material consumption and high precision that makes the ZE 5 extremely attractive for many development projects. When expensive active ingredients or specialty polymers are used, every gram counts. The ability to achieve meaningful results even with very small batches not only saves material but also accelerates formulation development.<\/p>\n<p>The extruder has also proven its worth in day-to-day laboratory work. Various staff members regularly use the extruder and frequently switch between different formulations. Disassembly and cleaning are straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>And the results speak for themselves: The work conducted with the ZE 5 has led to a wide variety of scientific publications, doctoral dissertations, and a patent.<\/p>\n\t<p>The formulations and implants developed by Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in collaboration with ZE 5 are intended, for example, for applications in the inner ear, for the treatment of periodontitis and malaria, and for antispasmodic and neuroprotective therapies in the brain.

Our equipment is frequently used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries, but is essentially applicable in nearly all sectors. They can be used to feed any type of solid material. Although specifically designed for free-flowing and micronized powders, we can also feed semolina, grains, microgranules, pellets, flakes, shavings, and even fibers.\n<strong>What material properties determine the selection of the appropriate feeding device?<br \/>\n<\/strong>This is one of the most important considerations, because it significantly affects the price of a feeder. The type of feeder is selected based on the flowability and type of bulk material. Single-screw feeders without a discharge aid or bridge breaker work well with free-flowing bulk materials. Single-screw feeders with a discharge aid work well with free-flowing to slightly bridging bulk materials. At Three-Tec, twin-screw feeders always have a discharge aid and are used for poorly flowing bulk materials that are more prone to bridging. These are often powdered materials.\n<strong>What challenges arise when feeding poorly flowing bulk materials?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Bulk materials with poor or very poor flowability are often \u201acohesive\u2018 (sticky). The finer a powder is, the more cohesive it is. This leads to bridging in the dosing hopper that is so problematic that even discharge aids are insufficient and cause unstable discharge. To ensure uniform dosing of these powders, Three-Tec has developed the flat-bottom dosing unit. It is a twin-screw dosing unit with a cylindrical or negatively conical hopper that extends all the way down to the dosing screws. This shape and design prevents bridging issues and also helps ensure that even very light powders\u2014such as those that are expanded, hollow, porous, or amorphous\u2014are fed into the dosing screw evenly and quickly.\n<strong>What is the difference between volumetric and gravimetric feeding systems, and when is each technology used?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Volumetric feeding devices are typically used in applications where accuracy requirements are not high, as they are more cost-effective than gravimetric systems. Gravimetric feeding systems are used wherever process traceability and\/or high accuracy are required. Additional components \u2014 such as a platform scale and a differential feeding controller \u2014 must be added to a volumetric feeding system so that it can operate on a gravimetric basis. Volumetric feeding systems operate at constant speeds and cannot regulate automatically. In gravimetric feeding systems, the discharge rate is continuously measured and regulated by the PLC to maintain a specified throughput rate consistently and continuously. Factors such as container fill level, differences in bulk density, or uneven flow behavior are corrected by adjusting the screw speed. The load cell, which measures the differential weight, is exposed to all kinds of potential disturbances \u2014 such as vibrations, drafts, or temperature fluctuations \u2014 which the control system detects and filters out.\n<strong>Why is precise feeding so important in industrial applications?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Feeding devices are not only needed for single-batch filling. When multiple feeding devices are required to create mixtures and formulations \u2014 for example, for downstream processing equipment such as mixers or extruders \u2014 this affects the quality of the final product. Consistent feeding makes processes safer and ensures that end products are more uniform.\n<strong>How is it possible to dispense even very small quantities precisely and consistently?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Dosing small quantities or low throughput\u2014whether in batches, lots, or continuously\u2014is only possible with high-precision load cells and dosing devices designed for this purpose. These load cells must be digital. It is not sufficient to simply use digital strain gauges (strain gauge technology). Specialized and optimized weighing measurement methods must be employed, such as those used by Mettler-Toledo in its high-precision, digital weighing modules. Only these systems provide the necessary data to ensure that the dosing process is controlled correctly. Given the small quantities involved, \u201asmall\u2018 dosing devices are also required. Three-Tec offers a range of specially designed small twin-screw dosing devices with screw diameters of just 5 and 9 mm.\n<strong>ATEX requirements play an important role in many industrial applications. What specific challenges do these requirements pose for the design and operation of feeding equipment?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Wherever hazards may arise during operation, the end user or end operator is responsible for implementing the necessary safety measures and ensuring safe operation. However, \u201csafe\u201d does not simply mean that the device is CE-compliant. If flammable dusts or gases may be present or generated in the device or its surroundings, explosion protection must be observed (Directives 2014\/34\/EU and 1999\/92\/EC). This can very often be the case with powder feeding, depending on the material. The end user must determine and specify the ATEX zone for their system and local conditions. As a machine manufacturer, Three-Tec can provide recommendations in advance and then implement these specifications. This is a highly complex topic that requires training and specialized knowledge. Special drives must be used, and depending on the ATEX zone, an additional approval by an independent, notified body may even be required.\n<strong>Is there a particularly exciting customer project or a challenging feeding task that has stuck with you?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The beauty of process engineering is that you\u2019re constantly faced with new challenges. Problems must be solved where others have no solutions or where the proposed solution hasn\u2019t worked well enough. It therefore takes a great deal of experience and knowledge to be able to help customers in precisely these situations. There are many interesting projects. Special projects, for example, involve very low or very high temperatures and\/or high pressures \u2014 such as those found in reactors \u2014 or situations where very hazardous substances are being metered and processed, or where the quantities being fed are so small that you could almost count individual grains. Projects are always special when you know they\u2019re making a real difference in the world.\n\t\t\t\t<p><strong>About the Person<br \/><\/strong>Daniel Widmer is a trained design engineer and has been with Three-Tec for 11 years.
