Melting of polymers in co-rotating twin screw extruders
Abstract
A test stand to observe movement and deformation of thermoplastic polymers in a cross-section of the plastification zone of a co-rotating twin screw extruder is presented. Multiple experiments to examine the initial melting processes as a function of different process parameters such as rotational speed, temperature, kneading disk configuration, thermoplastic materials, granule size and filling degree were conducted. The analysis was accomplished by means of high-speed imaging. Hereby it was possible to gain insights into the significant influence parameters of the initial melting behaviour of thermoplastics during processing in a corotating twin screw extruder for the first time.
