Degassing Polymer Melts with Co-Rotating Twin Screw Extruders

By varying the design of the process section, additional simultaneous processing tasks, such as stabilizing, coloring, mixing-in of plasticizers, filtration, and pelletizing are possible. 

manufacturers are confronted with a constant drive towards energy- and raw material savings in manufacturing processes, increased environmental requirements, and competitiveness. Under this pressure, many non- or only partially continuous degassing processes will eventually be replaced by a continuous process.
