This webinar describes the concept of specific (mechanical) energy along with it’s practical use as a process setpoint to ensure product consistency from lot-to-lot.

This new webinar looks at pellet quality from the customer’s perspective (rather than from the compounder’s perspective). We ask the questions: Who is your customer?…

The pattern of variation during a continuous production lot can be used to identify (or eliminate) specific assignable causes depending on the time scale involved.…

Nearly every twin-screw extruder with a vent port has some operational “issues” with material – other than vapor – coming out of the vent port(s).

This webinar highlights the improvement in productivity through the use of computer software for design of screw configurations and for process simulation.

The basic techniques for optimizing capacity of side feeders is presented in this webinar. While various aspects of side feeding have been described in previous…

Optimizing the mixing part of the screw configuration for improved dispersion of particulate fillers (e.g. talc, mineral, CaCO3, etc.) or improved distribution of glass fiber…

Screw configurations for resin melting can be developed for maximum productivity or designed to accommodate a wide range of polymers…but not both.

This webinar is designed for compounding applications on intermeshing, co-rotating twin-screw extruders.

This webinar provides an overview of factors affecting compound product quality and process instabilities on intermeshing, co-rotating twin-screw extruders.
