Melting performance of single screw extruders with a grooved melting zone

A novel melting model for single screw extruders with a grooved melting zone was established. The whole solid plug, which came from the grooved feed zone, was ruptured and melted mainly by continuously changing the volume of the barrel grooves and the screw channel in the grooved melting zone. A new single screw extruder platform with hydraulic clamshell barrels was constructed to investigate the melting of solid polymer with different combinations of barrels and screws. The melting model was verified by experiments. The results showed that the melting started earlier and finished in a shorter length for single screw extruders with a grooved melting zone than that for conventional single screw extruders and the melting efficiency was improved by introducing a grooved melting zone to a single screw extruder. The theoretical values are consistent with experimental results. The novel single screw extruder with grooved melting zone can dramatically increase the plasticizing efficiency and the throughput.     

Theoretical analysis of residence time distribution functions and strain distribution functions in plasticating screw extruders

The residence time distribution (RTD) function in a single screw plasticating extruder was theoretically calculated. The calculation is based on the solids conveying, melting, and melt conveying models in extruders. The screw channel is divided into small axial increments and the path of each exiting fluid particle is followed from hopper to die. In addition to the residence times the total shear deformation or strain imposed on the fluid particles was also calculated. This together with the RTD function has led to the definition and calculation of the strain distribution function (SDF). This function is proposed for quantitative characterization of the mixing performance of screw extruders as well as other laminar mixers. Some simple idealized batch and continuous laminar mixers are analyzed in terms of the SDF. Finally, the effect of extruder operating conditions and screw design on the RTD and SDF were investigated by computer simulations.     

新型偏心三螺杆挤出机流体混合特性分析

Mean residence time analysis for twin screw extruders

This paper presents and experimentally validates a physically motivated model for predicting the mean residence time in twin screw extruders. Accurate estimation of the mean residence time and the propagation delay through a plasticating extruder is critical for implementing feedback control schemes employing sensors mounted along the extruder. Experiments were carried out on a 30 mm Krupp Werner and Pfleiderer co‐rotating twin screw extruder equipped with reflectance optical probes over the melting section and mixing section and at the die. The residence time distributions for twelve operating conditions and two screw geometries are compared. The mean residence times predicted by our model are in good agreement with the experimentally measured mean residence times.     

Scale-up of single screw extruders

Scale-up from small laboratory size extruders to large production size extruders is a procedure of great practical importance. Many scale-up rules and theories have been proposed in the past, however it is not always clear how the different scale-up methods will affect extruder performance. A basic analysis of scale-up in plasticating single screw extruders is developed from which the effect of a certain scale-up strategy on extrusion performance can be evaluated in terms of solids conveying, melting, melt conveying, mixing, residence time, heat transfer, power consumption, and specific energy consumption. Various existing scale-up theories are evaluated and compared using the basic analysis. A number of existing scale-up theories have some significant drawbacks, in particular with non-constant specific energy consumption and imbalance between melting rate and pumping rate. Conditions that are desirable to achieve in scale-up are enumerated and ranked in terms of importance. This leads to two new scale-up methods that result in constant mechanical specific energy consumption and high throughput rates. The first scale-up method keeps the specific surface area constant. This scale-up should work well for high values of the Brinkman number. However, at low values of the Brinkman number, the melting rate may be insufficient. The second scale-up method keeps the melting rate at low Brinkman number equal to the pumping rate and, thus, should be useful in cases where the first scale-up method cannot be used.     

Analysis and experimental evaluation of twin screw extruders

Twin screw extruders can he classified according to their geometrical configuration. The main distinction is made between intermeshing and nonintermeshing extruders. Another distinguishing characteristic is the sense of rotation. The most important characteristics of the various twin screw extruders are examined, with particular emphasis on the effect of screw geometry on the conveying characteristics. A brief review is given of the state of the art in theoretical analysis of twin screw extruders. Experiments with two lab scale, intermeshing twin screw extruders are described, one co- and one counterrotating. Results are presented on power consumption, residence time distribution, and mixing characteristics of the two extruders. The counterrotating extruder exhibits a narrower residence time distribution and better dispersive mixing capability. The corotating extruder showed a better distributive mixing capability. These results can be explained in terms of the conveying and mixing mechanisms in both extruders. The overall extruder performance seems to be dominated by the effect of the intenneshing region. Any realistic, theoretical analysis of twin screw extruders should be centered around the flow behavior and mixing characteristics of the intermeshing region. The corotating extruder appears to be best suited for melt blending operations, while the counterrotating extruder seems to be preferred in operations where solid fillers have to be dispersed in a polymer matrix.

Melting model for modular self wiping co-rotating twin screw extruders

A model for the melting process in a self wiping co-rotating twin screw extruder is described. Self-wiping co-rotating twin screw extruders are modular and starve fed. This leads to melting mechanisms that are different from single screw extruders. The melting process in the modular screw configurations generally occurs in specialized sections such as kneading disk blocks. The model, based on our previous experimental observations, considers the formation of two stratified layers of melt in contact with the hot barrel and solid pellets in contact with the relatively colder screw. In the kneading disk blocks, a part of the solid bed is blocked because of the relative stagger between successive disks. The model predicts both the location of melting and melting lengths in a screw configuration. Calculations for individual screw elements and kneading disc elements are presented first. Melting in a modular configuration of these elements is then considered. The effect of operating variables such as mass flow rate and screw speed on melting is then studied. The model is put in a dimensionless form and the effect of various dimensionless groups is discussed. We make a comparison to the experiment and agreement is good.
