Performance of Semi-solid Slurry Produced by Twin-screw Stirring Mixer and Rheo-diecasting Process of AZ91D Alloy

The microstructure of semi-solid slurry of AZ91D alloy, which was produced by twin-screw stirring mixer under the different parameters, was investigated. Rheoforming by cold chamber die casting process was performed thereafter. The results indicate that with decreasing of the barrel temperature of the mixer and the pouring temperature of molten Mg alloy, the solid fraction of semi-solid slurry increases and the size of non-den-dritic grains becomes smaller. While the shear rate increases, the solid fraction of semi-solid slurry decreases. The tensile strength and elongation of metal rheoformed by die casting are higher by about 37% and 44% respectively than those produced by conventional liquid die casting.     

“Rolling” phenomenon in twin screw granulation with controlled-release excipients

The developed knowledge regarding use of twin screw granulators for continuous wet granulation has been primarily limited to immediate release formulations in the literature. The present study highlights an issue previously unreported for wet granulation with twin screw extruders when using formulations containing controlled-release (CR) excipients. Long (3–10?mm), twisted noodle-like granules can be produced in the presence of these excipients that are difficult to control and are anticipated to create complications in downstream unit operations to the granulator. Working with two different CR excipients, METHOCEL? K4M and Kollidon® SR, each blended at different ratios with a mixture of 80% α-lactose monohydrate/20% microcrystalline cellulose, these unique particles were found to be produced in the conveying elements of the extruder, arising from a rolling action at the top of the screw flights. The CR excipients adhesively strengthen the wetted mass, forming this undesired granule shape such that they persisted to the exit of the machine; the shape appeared most strongly affected by screw speed, producing particles of higher aspect ratio as speed was increased. Adjusting the concentration of these CR excipients in the formulation, the flow rate or the type of compression element used in the screws proved ineffective in controlling the problem. Rather, a re-design of the extruder screws was required to prevent generation of these extended-form granules.     

Progression of wet granulation in a twin screw extruder comparing two binder delivery methods

The two available wetting methods for twin screw granulation, namely foam delivery and liquid injection, were studied in detail by examining granule development along the screws as powder formulation and screw design were varied. Granulation profiles were determined by particle size analysis of samples along the screws collected using the “screw pullout” technique. Analysis of the particle size and porosity of produced granules revealed only minor differences between the two methods of wetting despite the larger dropsize of liquid injection compared to foam delivery. Excipients like microcrystalline cellulose or hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose with poor spreading properties, quantified by their specific penetration time and nucleation ratio, made the differences more apparent. The general similarities in granulation independent of wetting method implied that binder dispersion in an extruder was dominated by mechanical dispersion. Screw design (i.e., location of kneading block) had the dominant effect on the granulation process in this study. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 780–791, 2015     

The Impact of Linseed Oil Lipids on the Physical Properties of Corn Crisps and the Possibility of Obtaining Crisps Enriched with n‐3 Fatty Acids

Linseed oil, also known as flaxseed oil, is obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). The oil is obtained by pressing, sometimes followed by solvent extraction supported by a refining process. Linseed oil is an edible oil that is in demand as a nutritional supplement, as a source of α‐linolenic acid an n‐3 fatty acid. The aim of this work was to investigate: (1) the influence of the corn crisp extrusion process on the degradation of fatty acids in linseed oil (LO) and some preparations obtained from the linseed oil such as ethyl ester (EE) and free fatty acids (FFA) added to the corn in order to increase the nutritional value of the crisps, (2) influence of the oil and two fatty preparations obtained from it on the quality of corn crisps, (3) interaction of the lipid fraction with starch. The extrusion process did not degrade the fatty acids significantly. Expansion ratio obtained in the corn crisp extrusion process decreased from 620 % down to 153 %, the size of pores/thickness of the starch–protein walls forming the structure of the extruded product decreased from 10 μm down to 4 μm, the hardness of the crisps increased from 20 to 75 N, and number of lipid–starch complexes increased with rising polarity of the lipid fraction. FFA were complexed mostly by starch (about 90 %), to a lesser degree by EE (about 60 %) and to the least extent by triacylglycerols (about 10 %). The studies performed under industrial conditions using the single screw extruder for the production of corn crisps with the application of standard parameters of the extrusion process indicated that the addition of a mass of 5 % of the various lipids (triacylglycerols of linseed oil, ethyl esters and fatty acids obtained from linseed oil) to corn grits prior to the extrusion process significantly affect the quality of corn crisps.

Analytical and Experimental Evaluation of Dispersive Mixing Performance of Special Rotor Segments in a Corotating Twin-Screw Extruder

An intermeshing corotating twin-screw extruder is often used for producing polymer composites. In this study, we discussed mixing performance of special rotor segments in molten zone. These rotor segments have several tip clearances for achievement of self-cleaning and effective mixing, and these are named various clearance mixing technology. We studied about dispersive mixing performance of configuration, which consists of various clearance mixing technologys (various clearance mixing technology configuration) using numerical analyses and experiments. For the analytical evaluation of mixing performance, we have adopted a particle tracking method. As evaluation indices of dispersive mixing performance, we focused on following three values (1) maximum value in a history of first principal stress of each particle, (2) time-integrated shear rate of each particle, and (3) time-integrated first principal stress of each particle. And we made the probability distributions of the indices. We adopted weighted probability as approximation of volume probability in each region. The results were compared with those of kneading disk segments configuration (kneading disk configuration). Furthermore, we validated the accuracy of the analytical evaluation by performing experiments under same conditions as those of numerical analyses. For the experimental evaluation of mixing performance, we used twin-screw extruder. Polypropylene was selected as suspending media. And CaCO₃ was selected as filler. To compare just the mixing performance of various clearance mixing technology configuration with that of kneading disk configuration, side feeding and screw configuration which had third mixing segments zone were adopted. From the experimental result, it is found that various clearance mixing technology configuration dispersed better than kneading disk configuration. And from the comparison between the experimental evaluation and the analytical evaluation, it is found that the first principal stress is more appropriate for evaluation index of dispersive mixing. Finally, it can be mentioned that various clearance mixing technology configuration has better mixing performance than kneading disk configuration, and large stress is important for dispersive mixing.
