销钉机筒单螺杆挤出机功耗的模拟研究

采用流体力学计算软件Fluent，在对销钉机筒冷喂料挤出机熔融段和计量段的胶料进行三维流动数值模拟的基础上，考察螺杆转速、反向压差、销钉数量、销钉排间距和螺槽深度对挤出量和螺杆转矩的影响。结果表明，螺杆转速是影响挤出机功耗的首要因素，随着转速增大，挤出量增大，功耗和功耗比（螺杆转矩与挤出量之比）下降；反向压差对挤出量、螺杆转矩和功耗比有一定影响，反向压差越大，功耗比越大；每排销钉数量对对功耗比影响不大；销钉排间距对挤出机功耗比有较为明显的影响，若只考虑产量和功耗，则销钉排间距越大越好。

往复式混炼挤出机市场看好

螺杆往复式混炼挤出机作为一种新型的加工设备,在高填充、高分散、热敏性材料的加工方面有其独特的优势。这种挤出机在螺杆芯轴上设有独特的积木式螺块,螺块在一个螺距内断开三次,称为混炼螺块,对应这些空隙,在机筒内衬套上,排列有三排混炼销钉。同时,螺杆在转动过程中作往复式运动,每转动一周,轴向往复运动一次。由于这种独特的运动方式,以及混炼螺块和销钉的作用,使物料不但在混炼销钉和不规则梯形混炼螺块之间被剪切,而且被往复输送,增强了混炼效果,保证了最佳的分散性和分配性混合。另外,混炼销钉和螺块的相互啮合,也提高了机筒的自我清

新型偏心三螺杆挤出机流体混合特性分析

在传统的三螺杆挤出机的基础上,设计了一种新型偏心三螺杆挤出机。该三螺杆挤出机中具有螺杆几何结构偏心、螺槽构型呈梯度变化特殊以及较高的面积利用系数等特征。利用有限元法对聚丙烯（PP）熔体在新型偏心三螺杆挤出机中流动和混合规律进行三维数值模拟,给出偏心三螺杆挤出机中压力和速度分布规律,计算了3种偏心螺杆挤出流场的停留时间分布、分布指数、分离尺度、最大剪切应力等混合表征参数。结果表明,螺杆偏心距不仅决定了螺杆端面形状,也改变了螺槽梯度的变化程度。随着螺槽梯度的逐渐减小,挤出机内粒子团聚效应逐渐降低、物料剪切作用逐渐增强。在3种新型偏心三螺杆挤出机中,偏心距e=3 mm的新型偏心螺杆挤出机的混合性能相对较好。

振动力场作用下的单螺杆挤出机固体输送理论

在单螺杆挤出机中,通过螺杆的轴向振动将振动力场引入聚合物固体输送过程,提出振动力场强化固体输送过程的新概念.以螺槽中运动的物料为对象建立了振动力场强化固体输送过程的数学模型,并获得了物料沿螺槽方向输送的压力（密度）、速度的近似解析解.传统固体输送过程就是当螺杆轴向振动的振幅为零时的特例,此时的压力降与Darnell and Mol 理论一致,但不同的是物料速度及密度沿螺槽方向是变化的,从而修正了Darnell and Mol 固体输送理论.螺杆的轴向振动提高了固体输送平均压力,缩短了固体输送的长度,增加了固体输送角.透明料筒全程可视化实验挤出机证明了螺杆轴向振动确实缩短了物料固体压实输送所需的螺槽长度.     

意大利科美高公司开发出切向销钉挤出机

传统的销钉挤出机的销钉是沿机筒周向均布，向内插入螺杆的螺槽根部。意大利科美高(COLMEC SPA)公司开发的这款新型销钉挤出机则别出心裁，销钉从方形机筒插入后与螺杆相切。销钉杆中设计有冷却介质通道。 由于新型挤出机的销钉与胶料直接接触的长度比传统的挤出机的销钉更长，因此对胶料的剪切作用更大。同时，由于销钉中设计了冷却通道，可以更好地将胶料的热量带出。据科美高公司称，新型挤出机的速度可以比传统销钉挤出机快40%，但排胶温度却比传统销钉挤出机还低。相同规格的这种新型销钉挤出机的生产能力比传统的销钉挤出机可以…

Direct observation of freeze-thaw instability of latex coatings via high pressure freezing and cryogenic SEM

Despite its industrial importance, the subject of freeze-thaw (F/T) stability of latex coatings has not been studied extensively. There is also a lack of fundamental understanding about the process and the mechanisms through which a coating becomes destabilized. High pressure (2100 bar) freezing fixes the state of water-suspended particles of polymer binder and inorganic pigments without the growth of ice crystals during freezing that produce artifacts in direct imaging scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of fracture surfaces of frozen coatings. We show that by incorporating copolymerizable functional monomers, it is possible to achieve F/T stability in polymer latexes and in low-VOC paints, as judged by the microstructures revealed by the cryogenic SEM technique. Particle coalescence as well as pigment segregation in F/T unstable systems are visualized. In order to achieve F/T stability in paints, latex particles must not flocculate and should provide protection to inorganic pigment and extender particles. Because of the unique capabilities of the cryogenic SEM, we are able to separate the effects of freezing and thawing, and study the influence of the rate of freezing and thawing on F/T stability. Destabilization can be caused by either freezing or thawing. A slow freezing process is more detrimental to F/T stability than a fast freezing process; the latter actually preserves suspension stability during freezing.

Gordon Best Paper Competition.     

Ethanol and (−)-α-Pinene: Attractant Kairomones for Bark and Ambrosia Beetles in the Southeastern US

In 2002–2004, we examined the flight responses of 49 species of native and exotic bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae and Platypodidae) to traps baited with ethanol and/or (−)-α-pinene in the southeastern US. Eight field trials were conducted in mature pine stands in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Funnel traps baited with ethanol lures (release rate, about 0.6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to ten species of ambrosia beetles (Ambrosiodmus tachygraphus, Anisandrus sayi, Dryoxylon onoharaensum, Monarthrum mali, Xyleborinus saxesenii, Xyleborus affinis, Xyleborus ferrugineus, Xylosandrus compactus, Xylosandrus crassiusculus, and Xylosandrus germanus) and two species of bark beetles (Cryptocarenus heveae and Hypothenemus sp.). Traps baited with (−)-α-pinene lures (release rate, 2–6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to five bark beetle species (Dendroctonus terebrans, Hylastes porculus, Hylastes salebrosus, Hylastes tenuis, and Ips grandicollis) and one platypodid ambrosia beetle species (Myoplatypus flavicornis). Ethanol enhanced responses of some species (Xyleborus pubescens, H. porculus, H. salebrosus, H. tenuis, and Pityophthorus cariniceps) to traps baited with (−)-α-pinene in some locations. (−)-α-Pinene interrupted the response of some ambrosia beetle species to traps baited with ethanol, but only the response of D. onoharaensum was interrupted consistently at most locations. Of 23 species of ambrosia beetles captured in our field trials, nine were exotic and accounted for 70–97% of total catches of ambrosia beetles. Our results provide support for the continued use of separate traps baited with ethanol alone and ethanol with (−)-α-pinene to detect and monitor common bark and ambrosia beetles from the southeastern region of the US.     

Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates Attract Stink Bugs and Tachinid Parasitoids

Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Pentatomidae), called the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), is a newly invasive species in the eastern USA that is rapidly spreading from the original point of establishment in Allentown, PA. In its native range, the BMSB is reportedly attracted to methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate, the male-produced pheromone of another pentatomid common in eastern Asia, Plautia stali Scott. In North America, Thyanta spp. are the only pentatomids known to produce methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate [the (E,Z,Z)-isomer] as part of their pheromones. Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates were field-tested in Maryland to monitor the spread of the BMSB and to explore the possibility that Thyanta spp. are an alternate host for parasitic tachinid flies that use stink bug pheromones as host-finding kairomones. Here we report the first captures of adult and nymph BMSBs in traps baited with methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate in central Maryland and present data verifying that the tachinid, Euclytia flava (Townsend), exploits methyl (E,Z,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate as a kairomone. We also report the unexpected finding that various isomers of methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate attract Acrosternum hilare (Say), although this bug apparently does not produce methyl decatrienoates. Other stink bugs and tachinids native to North America were also attracted to methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates. These data indicate there are Heteroptera in North America in addition to Thyanta spp. that probably use methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates as pheromones. The evidence that some pentatomids exploit the pheromones of other true bugs as kairomones to find food or to congregate as a passive defense against tachinid parasitism is discussed.
