The Noztek fusionX Desktop Mixing Extruder
The World’s Only Single-Screw Hot Melt Mixing Solution
Where pharmaceutical giants develop tomorrow’s compounds
After three years of intensive development, the fusionX represents a fundamental breakthrough in materials processing—delivering true homogeneous mixing in a single-screw system that eliminates the complexity of traditional twin-screw solutions.
Revolutionary Technology for Advanced Research
The Impossible Made Possible Traditional single-screw extruders can’t achieve the mixing quality demanded by advanced composite research. Twin-screw systems deliver the mixing but bring overwhelming complexity and maintenance demands. The FusionX solves both problems with innovative engineering that transforms how researchers approach material development.

Adaptable Configuration for Diverse Research Needs
Blade configurations can be customized based on material properties and research objectives. This flexibility enables researchers to achieve optimal dispersion across a wide range of materials, from temperature-sensitive polymers to high-performance composites, ensuring consistent results across different experimental conditions.
Research-Grade Consistency
The staged shear approach eliminates the variability often encountered in traditional mixing methods, providing the reliability essential for peer-reviewed research and reproducible experimental outcomes.
Precision Dispersive Mixing Technology
The Noztek FusionX delivers superior material homogenization through advanced three-stage blending technology, providing researchers with the precise control needed for consistent, repeatable results.
Systematic Shear Control for Research Applications
The FusionX employs a graduated blade system that allows researchers to optimize dispersion for their specific material requirements. The standard configuration progresses from 10mm to 3mm to 1mm hardened blades, creating controlled shear rates that ensure uniform distribution without material degradation.
Precision Blending Technology
Hardened Stainless Steel Blending System The FusionX’s blending blades represent advanced metallurgy applied to materials research. Each blade is hardened and tempered for exceptional durability, ensuring consistent performance throughout demanding research programs involving abrasive composites and challenging material combinations.
Customizable Mixing Configurations The six-slot barrel system allows researchers to optimize blade positioning for specific material combinations. This flexibility enables fine-tuning of mixing intensity for different composite systems, from delicate bio-polymers requiring gentle blending to reinforced composites demanding aggressive material integration.
Engineering for Homogeneity Beyond mixing, the blending system provides critical structural function by counterbalancing the screw assembly, ensuring perfect centering within the barrel. This precision alignment maintains consistent material circulation and prevents the hot spots and channeling that can compromise research batches.
Advanced Processing Capability For materials requiring maximum homogenization, the FusionX integrates seamlessly with the Noztek Pelletizer for multi-pass processing. This capability allows researchers to pelletize initial extrusions and re-process them for deeper material integration—a technique that enables composite development previously requiring industrial-scale equipment.
Research Applications Universities worldwide use this multi-pass capability to develop advanced materials including carbon nanotube composites, metal-filled polymers, and pharmaceutical compounds where molecular-level mixing determines final properties.
