Intermeshed counter-rotation

Most of the compounds were extrusion compounded in a conical, partially intermeshing, counter rotating twin screw extruder (Haake Reomix TW-lOO). The extruder speed was set at 50 rpm and the barrel temperature profile was set to produce a melt temperature of 260°C at the die. Samples were injection molded in a 31.8 MT Battenfeld press with a 59 cc shot size. Where noted, samples were compounded in a 60 cc Brabender internal mixer and compression molded.

The first patent on the precursor of the TSE dates from 1869. However, the first commercial CORI for handling polymers was marketed 70 years later. Several intermeshing counter-rotating twin screw extruders (ICRR) were developed in the 1920-30 s. After the 2nd World War, the corotating, fully intermeshing TSE (CORI) started...

Waste ground rubber tire powder was devulcanized and mixed with 30 per hundred rubber (phr) natural rubber to give satisfactory vulcanizate properties. An intermeshing counter-rotating twin-screw extruder with constant root and flight diameters of the screw was designed and installed for waste rubber recycling [31].

Intermeshing Counter-rotating (or Counter-rotating Intermeshing) Twin-screw Extruder This extruder is considered to be not effective in large-scale manufacturing. 

Tangential (Non-intermeshing) Counter-rotating Twin-Screw Extruder This extruder is used more for latex coagulation, recovery, devolatilization of polymer solutions, and for reactive extmsion. 

Therefore, the conveying characteristics of the CICO extruder are not as positive as those of a closely intermeshing counter-rotating extruder (CICT) see also Figs. 10.27 and 10.28. 

A typical screw geometry of a closely intermeshing counter-rotating (CICT) twin screw extruder is shown in Fig. 10.27.
