The Different Zones

If the extruder is fed with a liquid, as in some candy processes, the first part does not necessarily need to be partly empty. However, as will be explained later, for reasons of stability it is advisable to create a zone in which the chambers are not fully filled. 

In particular, the fully filled zone is very important for proper functioning of the extruder. In this zone the pressure is built up, mixing and kneading mainly take place, and the major influence of viscous dissipation also occurs. In order to explain the existence of the fully filled zone, we need to realize that the different 

The actual throughput of a twin-screw extruder is determined by the feeding zone. What comes into the extmder here will also have to leave the extruder at the other end. Because the chambers are only partially filled no pressure can be built up in this zone and the leakage flows will be limited to the drag component only. Under normal circumstances, the throughput of this zone is therefore independent of pressure at the die end of the extrader. 

In the last part of the extruder, where the pressure that is needed for squeezing the polymer through the die is built up, the chambers are fully filled with material, a pressure gradient is present, and considerable leakage flows are dependent on this gradient. 

As derived, the actual throughput through the completely filled zone is given by

Increase the shift periods between the different zones (change internal flow rates). 

In apple processing, enzymatic treatment of the crushed fruit leads to a lower degree of degradation of the peel and the core than the rest of the fruit. Figure 1 shows the separate tissue zones in diagrammatic form. Their anatomic origins are different the epidermis and outer parenchyma zones are tissues derived from the fusion of the calyx, corolla and stamens of the flower the inner zones correspond to tissue derived from ovaries and carpels. The characterisation of the cell-wall material, especially pectins, from the different zones of the fruit may provide additional information on the possibility of finding uses for the discarded fractions.

There are different ways to connect the columns to build a SMB system. An important aspect is always the position of the recycling pump. The recycling pump ensures the internal flow of the mobile phase. Most often the recycling pump is placed between the last and the first column, i. e. columns 12 and 1 in Fig. 2. Once the recycling pump is fixed with respect to the columns, it moves with respect to the zones and is alternatively located in zones IV, III, II, and I. The flow rates required in the different zones are different and so the pump flow rates vary from... 

The dynamic calculations include all beams with interplanar distances dhki larger than 0.75 A at 120 kV acceleration voltage and thickness between 100 A and 300 A for the different zones. The structure factors have been calculated on the basis of the relativistic Hartree - Fock electron scattering factors [14]. The thermal difiuse scattering is calculated with the Debye temperature of a-PbO 481 K [15] at 293 K with mean-square vibrational amplitude

= 0.0013 A following the techniques of Radi [16]. The inelastic scattering due to single-electron excitation (SEE) is introduced on the base of real space SEE atomic absorption potentials [17]. All calculations are carried out in zero order Laue zone approximation (ZOLZ).

To break up agglomerates or disperse liquid droplets, flow forces that exceed a certain minimum value are required. In addition, the type of flow is crucial for the dispersion result, namely, the respective ratio of shear and extension. The shear and extension rates are not constant over the cross-section in an extruder. There are zones with more or less loading. In addition, there are zones with almost pure shear flow and zones where extensional flow dominates. The different zones in the cross-section of a twin screw extruder are shown in Fig. 9.15.

Two real values of A are obtained, one for each of the two values of P from Eq. (2.15.66). The two sets of null settings for P and A are related to the different zone settings, but sign conventions vary from instrument to instrument. 

In a first step, the idea is to calculate adequate flow rates for a given feed concentration (and purities specifications). The calculation of the required flow rates is made by writing some constraints that the different products must fulfill in the different zones (for instance, the liquid flow rate in zone I must be strong enough to desorb completely the most retained product). 

The parameter setting of liquid eluent SMB consist in a right and accurate setting of the inlet and outlet flowrates of the system [12], SF-SMB is more complex and 4 pressure and 4 flowrates have to be set. The idea of SF-SMB concept to perform a pressure gradient in the different zones of the bed is illustrated in figure 1. 

The pilot plant is composed of 8 columns of 33 mm of internal diameter connected in series. Six automated valves are placed after each column in order to connect the columns to the different inlets and outlets of the process (See figure 3). Analogical valves are located after each column (Un) and are used to control the pressures in the different zones of the process. Five analogical valves control inlets and outlets flowrates.
