MAS Technical Test Center: Recycling & Compounding Trials
Use testing to answer a defined investment or process question with representative material, documented methods and agreed acceptance criteria. State what the trial can—and cannot—predict.
In the MAS demonstration and innovation center, MAS demonstrates the performance and added value of recycling and compounding technology. The center supports decision-making in the pre-project and project phas by testing planned facility configurations and processes with your material.
Guidance In The Planning Stage
The Technical Test Center can evaluate material behaviour, process routes and output quality before full-scale implementation. Results reduce uncertainty but do not replace production-scale engineering, regulatory approval or commercial guarantees.
Test Runs With Your Material
The MAS Technical Test Center helps evaluate a planned process using the material that matters to the project, giving recycling and compounding buyers a clearer view of machine configuration, process behaviour and output quality before full-scale implementation.
Test Planned Facility Configurations
Test planned facility configurations.
Evaluate Planned Processes
Evaluate planned processes under realistic production conditions.
Analyse Material And Granulate
Analyse input material and produced granulate.
Review Results With Experts
Review results with experienced plastics technicians.
Support Facility Decisions
Use test-run results as the basis for facility configuration decisions.
Support For Existing MAS Facilities
MAS also supports customers with test runs and process-related consultation for existing MAS facilities. The center can help evaluate additional mass flows, additives and changed process conditions for customers who want to use the full flexibility of their MAS facility. The showroom and innovation center is also used for the continuous innovation of MAS products.
Available Facility Components
The following facility components are available at the MAS showroom and innovation center:
- Conical co-rotating MAS 55 twin-screw extruder
- CDF 300 continuous MAS disc filter
- TA 100 MAS vented extruder

Analytical Devices For Material And Granulate Evaluation
MAS uses analytical devices to evaluate raw material, granules and finished products after testing:
- Moisture meters for surface moisture and core moisture
- Vacuum drier
- IV meter (intrinsic viscosity)
- MFR meter (melt flow rate)
- Digital microscope
- Blow film extruder at laboratory scale
