Conventional screw

Another PVC siding is an extmded product of an internally ribbed, dual-wall profile. A conventional screw extmder, with a vacuum sizer cooled with water and air, forms a product about 20 cm wide with 160 mm walls and 80 mm ribs on 25 cm centers. The total thickness is about 0.64 cm. The ribs provide rigidity and strength and the dual-wall constmction adds thermal insulation. No backing or core is used.

Figure 8.30 Cross-sectional views [53] of the extrudate samples using a conventional screw with segmented tip for the testing of different types of dynamic mixers a) conventional screw with no mixer, b) Twente Mixing Ring, and c) Barr Fluxion ring mixer. The extruder was operated at a screw speed of 80 rpm and a letdown ratio of 220 1 of a white pigmented ABS resin to a black color concentrate...

The right- or left-handedness of a helix is the same as a conventional screw or bolt. When turned clockwise, a right-handed screw advances. The same is true of a helix or a helical spring. 

Because of its high melt viscosity it has no useful melt flow index. Conventional screw plasticizing extrusion and injection molding can noy process them. The processing methods used are compression molding, ram extrusion, ram injection, and warm forming of extruded slugs from powdered plastic. In turn many components are machined from semifinished products. 

A 203 mm (8 in.) diameter extruder, powered by a 112-kW (150-hp) motor, can process raw cracked soybean at up to 2722 kg/h (6000 Ib/h). The product, having low levels of urease and trypsin inhibitor, is marketable, without any further processing except cooling, as full-fat soymeal. However, the hot product, flashed down to 5-7% moisture, having almost all the oil cells ruptured, is ready to pass immediately to a screw-press. A conventional screw-press, with some modification to wormshaft configuration and rotational speed, can process this material at a threefold increase in capacity using the same motor and pressing to the same residual oil.
