Description

Northumbria University has procured a Micro Compounder, an Injection Moulder and a Platen Press to support advanced research into novel nanocomposites-materials that combine nanoscale fillers with polymer matrices to achieve enhanced physical properties. - The Micro Compounder that capable of processing very small quantities of polymers and additives, ideal for R&D involving expensive or rare substances; - The Injection Moulder that allows for the creation of standardised test specimens with tight control over temperature, pressure, and mould geometry; - The Platen Press that offers programmable pressure and heat settings to form composite sheets or layered samples. The machines will be used in conjunction with each other and physically compatible for a single user to operate. The transfer of samples from a Micro Compounder to either Platen press or Injection Moulder is achievable with minimal user intervention and without requiring any additional tools or adaptors. Following a competitive tender, the requirement was split to ensure technical compliance. Items 1 & 2 were awarded to the UK distributor, while Item 3 was awarded directly to the OEM as the sole authorized provider for that specific item. This purchase includes delivery; offloading; positioning; installation; commissioning; onsite training and 2-year Service and Maintenance contract.
