Intermeshing counter rotating twin screw

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].

Modular intermeshing counter-rotating twin-screw extruders intended for compounding were developed in the 1960s by Tenner [158] of Leistritz AG The modular elements of the Leistritz GG (for gegenlaufiger = counter-rotating) twin-screw extruder are shown in Fig. 9.28. 

The intermeshing counter-rotating twin-screw extruder has not only the mixing qualities of its machine elements, but it exerts high stresses by the calendering action of its screws. This leads to superior performance in dispersive mixing. 

Our purpose in this paper is to develop an integrated model of intermeshing counter-rotating twin screw extruders which includes solid conveying, melting, and melt metering. We seek to predict positions and extent of fill, pressure and temperature profiles as well as... 

Intermeshing Counter-rotating Twin-screw Extrader. 

A numerical study of the 3D polymer melt flow in a intermeshing counter-rotating twin screw extruder and in a intermeshing counter- rotating twin screw extruder with pin-barrel have been carried out. We get the pressure, viscosity and shear rate field distribution of melt conveying zone. 

We get the pressure field distribution (see Fig.2). In the figure, the pressure field distribution of intermeshing counter-rotating twin screw extruder is described in Figure a, and the pressure field distribution of...
