Extruder based system

Other combinations of ingredients, such as one sulfenamide, two mercapto group (i.e., ZMBT, MBT or MBTS) accelerators, a thiuram accelerator, zinc salts of fatty acids, and one activator (e.g., stearic acid) are also covered by the patent. The process is claimed to work with all sulfur-cured rubbers and, as it is an extruder-based system, is can be operated continuously with an output of up to 750 kg/h. 

In the first stage of the investigation the catalyst can be considered in the form of powder in order to derive intrinsic transient kinetics of all the relevant reactive processes. To this purpose, dynamic reactive experiments can be performed in a simple tubular fixed-bed microreactor over small quantities (50-200 mg) of finely powdered catalyst in principle, this guarantees negligible transport limitations and more controlled conditions (e.g. isothermal catalyst bed), hence enabling a direct estimation of intrinsic rate parameters by kinetic fit. Internal diffusion limitations are particularly relevant to the case of bulk (extruded) monolith catalysts, such as vanadium-based systems for NH3/urea SCR however, they... 

With speed-controlled piston extruders, which imply a high definition of the signals, the micro-processor based systems are likely to represent the optimum technical solution at present.

The major advantage of the cascade devolatilizing system is that the control of the output of the first stage to the pressure generating capability of the second stage is much better than in a single extruder devolatilization system. Obviously, the cost will be higher, and the decision for one system or the other must be based on the importance of improved flexibility and controllability. 

More recently polyurethane based systems have been developed which can be extruded on to one of the mating surfaces. In order to achieve a water seal condition, and to accommodate minor gap variations, the adhesive is normally applied as a conical section. The mating surfaces are pushed together and held in the correct relative locations to allow the cure to proceed. With this particular family of materials curing is by moisture absorption. 

Variety of form. Rubber base adhesives can be supplied for assembly operations as solvent or water-borne dispersions, hot melts, precast films, extruded tapes or reinforced films. In addition solvent and water-borne dispersions can be supplied as single or two-components systems. 

If the compound being extruded is not attacked by water, for example, conventional butadiene-acrylonitrile based compounds, the preforms are passed through a water cooling system. The water cooling system can be using either the spray technique or complete submersion. 

An extruder for a polymer was controlled by a microprocessor based data acquisition and control system. The CAMILE system (Control And Monitoring Interface for Laboratory Experiments) connects the sensors and control elements of the extruder to a host MS-DOS computer. While a variety of variables are measured and controlled, this paper will consider only temperature control.
