ABOUT OUR MATERIALS
Since 1891, The Bonnot Company has built custom single-screw extruders in Akron, Ohio for a wide range of materials. We have existing, proven designs for bulk molding compound, activated carbon, catalyst pelletizing, clay, cooking, cold forming, food forming, hydrocolloids, laboratory applications, rubber, rodenticide, and sealant extrusion.
Each extruder is engineered to the material it runs. We customize screw geometry, barrel length, hopper opening, materials of construction, and drive configuration so the machine matches your feedstock — not the other way around.

CUSTOM MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT
The Bonnot Company has a long history of testing unusual materials and developing extruders where none existed before. In the 1970s, an unusual testing request led us to pioneer the first pet food extruder. Since then we’ve built extruders for graphite, modeling clay, and many materials beyond our standard catalog.
If your material isn’t on our list, we’re prepared to do the development work to create a solution. We test new feedstocks in our own test room and build the machine around what the material actually requires.

Our custom-built lab extruders have helped countless clients complete highly specific jobs and push the limits of innovation in their industries. What we've listed here are just a few of the many applications for benchtop extruders.
