Strand die design is an often neglected part of the compounding process, it is viewed simply as ‘something to hold the die plate onto the…
This webinar focuses on determining the size (e.g. diameter) of a twin-screw extruder to achieve a desired capacity target as a function of available motor…
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.
Finally, a webinar that shows correct assembly and disassembly procedures for segmented twin-screw extruder screws!
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.
