Process Engineering and Test Laboratories for Optimized Compounding Processes
Process engineering tests play a central role in the success of the project. With optimal design of all components, high productivity and stable production can be achieved.
Experiments with our customers are necessary and effective due to very different problem situations:
- Product development (determining the formulation) with the customer
- Feasibility and quality issues in existing production
- Unknown risks and process parameters before building new plants
- Feasibility/manufacturability of new products is not proven
- Process engineering tests in the context of machine procurement
In these situations, BUSS is the partner that can oversee the challenges and develop solutions. Our proven BUSS Kneader technology plays a central role in tackling demanding tasks.
In our test laboratories, experienced engineers verify and optimize the essential machine and plant parameters. And BUSS can thus provide its customers with the assurance of how their plant can be successfully designed and sustainably operated. Our long-standing and in-depth expertise in many applications makes us a valued sparring partner for demanding material applications.

As an experienced partner, we accompany our customers from the first idea to realization, ensuring tailored and future-proof solutions.
The work in our test laboratories
What does BUSS do in the Technikum? How do projects proceed?
Before the actual tests are conducted in one of our laboratories, a series of preparatory steps is required. The materials must be precisely defined, and the application and test objectives must be clearly described. Our specialists then address technical and organizational challenges.
- Pre-selection of the optimal machine configuration
- In a preliminary test, all plant components are checked before the trials begin with the customer
- Trials with various machine parameters and shaft configurations are conducted to best meet or exceed the specifications
- Optimization of feeding and dosing
- Prediction for scaling to production conditions
- Further investigations provide clear guidelines for the correct dimensioning of the plant, such as motor, dosing, pelletizing, heating capacity
- In the analysis laboratory, test samples are produced and analyzed during the tests
These tasks in the Technikum are usually carried out in close cooperation with the customers. This allows critical parameters of the process or plant to be proactively determined and solutions implemented accordingly.
Our process engineering expertise also results in our broad plant and system competence, with which we comprehensively support our customers.
Why Technikum?
In the video, our CEO Dr. Philip Nising summarizes the advantages and possibilities of our network of test laboratories around the world. He also explains where the process engineering strengths of the BUSS Co-Kneader technology lie. With our unique kneading principle, interesting and forward-looking possibilities open up for our customers.
