Twin Rotor Corotating Intermeshing Extruders

This is presently the type of machine on which most development work in the compounding of curable rubbers, and in the compounding of thermoplastic elastomers, is being concentrated. Like the Betamax video recorder compared to VHS machines, other machines may be better but the corotating intermeshing extruder, presently, raises the greatest market interest. This has come about since the introduction of the high torque machines which can operate at the lower [Pg.32]

Many companies supply this type of equipment, but only a limited number appear to be actively engaged in developing these machines for compounding of curable rubbers. Of those involved, as one would expect, the major suppliers of batch mixing machinery all appear to be carrying out work in this area. Other suppliers [Pg.33]
