Product name: Precise Data with Quickplast PPGDuring material preparation, mixing and kneading cycles from different processing systems often need to be evaluated in parallel. Quickplast PPG is designed for fast, repeatable testing with material volumes as small as 0.05 litres.
Reliable results are available within minutes and provide valuable process data for product development and quality assurance. The compact plug-and-play system includes an integrated worktable and control unit, measuring 0.85 × 0.75 × 2.00 m. It can also be integrated into an existing workstation, ensuring rapid access to critical data for process and product optimisation.
Product name: ECT-KEMA PVP Series - Vacuum Extruders
Extrusion of Solid and Hollow Billets
ECT-KEMA’s PVP series is used worldwide for the extrusion of ceramic solid and hollow billets. These combined vacuum extrusion systems feature energy-efficient drives, wear-resistant extrusion channels, precise process control, and excellent accessibility for maintenance and cleaning.
Each machine combines a high-performance extruder with a matching pre-compression unit, connected by a spacious vacuum chamber with large inspection windows.
PVP vacuum extruders are available with cylinder diameters of 200, 250, 350, 500, 750, and 950 mm, offering reliable solutions for a wide range of production capacities.

Product name: ECT-KEMA AKD Series - Jiggering Lathes
Turning of Ceramic Insulators
The AKD series from ECT-KEMA is designed for the precision turning of ceramic insulators with a wide range of shed geometries, especially for HVDC transmission applications.
With machining diameters from 200–500 mm and workpiece heights of 500–3,000 mm, the machines offer maximum flexibility for different billet sizes. Two billet clamping stations, an automatic workpiece changer, and high-dynamic servo drives ensure efficient, continuous production. Precision guideways, low-backlash ball screws, and fast software adaptation guarantee outstanding accuracy and rapid changeover between different insulator geometries.
Product name: ECT-KEMA Pelletizers
Pellets in the Desired Format – Efficient and Versatile
ECT-KEMA develops screw and piston extruders for producing pellets in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. With cylinder diameters from 20 to 650 mm, the systems are suitable for both laboratory testing and industrial production.
Custom-designed extrusion tools are developed to meet individual process requirements and maximize product quality and efficiency. Manufacturers worldwide in the chemical, metal, recycling, ceramic, and environmental industries rely on ECT-KEMA technology for the pelletizing of plastic and plastic-forming materials in research, development, and high-volume production
Product name: Laboratory Services
From the Laboratory to Production
The ECT-KEMA Extrusion Laboratory supports customers worldwide in developing and optimizing extrusion processes, compounds, and products. Practical testing bridges the gap between laboratory research and industrial production.
Our services include raw material and compound analysis, feasibility studies, rheological characterization, and extruder simulation using the ESM model. We also perform mixing, extrusion, and drying trials under semi-industrial conditions in our pilot plant. Additional analyses—including moisture content, plasticity, and particle size—help optimize process performance. Advanced investigations are carried out in cooperation with leading research institutes and universities.
