Solving Vent Problems
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).
Software Tools for Improved Productivity
This webinar highlights the improvement in productivity through the use of computer software for design of screw configurations and for process simulation.
Side Feeding Technology
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…
Screw Design Optimization: Mixing
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 Design Optimization: Melting
Screw configurations for resin melting can be developed for maximum productivity or designed to accommodate a wide range of polymers…but not both.
Screw Assembly and Disassembly
Finally, a webinar that shows correct assembly and disassembly procedures for segmented twin-screw extruder screws!
Screw and Barrel Wear Measurement
This webinar documents the procedures for conducting wear measurements on extruder screws and barrels which should be an integral part of your preventive maintenance program.
Rebuild, Restore… or Replace?
This webinar outlines options to consider for upgrading/rebuilding of older extruders. Under what conditions should you replace that obsolete gearbox and motor versus replacement with…
Reactive Extrusion
This webinar provides an overview of the process technology and machine configurations used for the more common reactive extrusion applications: MAH grafting, TPV, TPU polymerization,…
