Rauwendaal Polymer Extrusion Pdf 22


Abstract:A review paper is presented on optimization and scale-up for polymer extrusion, both single screw and twin screw extrusion. Optimization consists in obtaining a multidimensional space of process output variables (response surface) on the basis of an appropriate set of input data and searching for extreme values in this space. Scaling consists in changing the scale of the process according to specific criteria, that is, changing the process while maintaining the scaling parameters at a level that is as close to the reference process parameters as possible. It consists in minimizing the differences between the parameters characterizing the reference process and the resulting process. This may be obtained by using optimization techniques leading to the minimization of discrepancies between the parameters of scaled processes. In the paper, it was stated that optimization and scale-up based on process simulation are more effective than those based on experimentation which is time consuming and expensive. The state-of-the-art on extrusion process modeling which is the basis of optimization and scale-up has been presented. Various optimization techniques have been discussed, and the Genetic Algorithms have been identified as powerful and very efficient. Optimization and scale-up based on the process simulation using Genetic Algorithms have been broadly reviewed and discussed. It was concluded that, up to date, there is a lack of optimization studies on the counter-rotating twin screw extrusion, although the global models of this process are known. There is also a lack of process simulation-based scaling-up studies, both on the counter-rotating twin screw extrusion and on the starve fed single screw extrusion. Finally, development perspectives in this field have been discussed. Keywords: polymers; extrusion; optimization; scale-up

6 Preface to the Fifth Edition It has been twelve years since the fourth edition of Polymer Extrusion was published and twenty six years since the book was first published. Extrusion technology continues to advance; as a result, a fifth edition is needed to keep the Polymer Extrusion book up to date and relevant. New material has been added throughout the book. The general literature survey has been updated since several books on extrusion have been published since A new theory for predicting developing melt temperatures has been incorporated into Chapter 7. This theory allows accurate prediction of changes in melt temperature along the length of the extruder; complete analytical solutions are presented to the relevant equations. As a result, melt temperatures can be predicted without having to result to numerical techniques and computer simulation. In Chapter 8, a new section on efficient extrusion of medical devices has been added. It covers good manufacturing practices in medical extrusion and automation. The effect of processing conditions and screw design on molecular degradation is covered in detail. Screws designs that minimize molecular degradation are discussed and explained. In Chapter 11, the section on gels in extruded products has been expanded as this continues to be a problem experienced by many extrusion companies. There is also a new section on discolored specks in extruded products. In this section expressions are included that allow prediction of the incidence and frequency of specks or gels based on their frequency in the incoming raw material. Included is a discussion on new instruments that are now available to detect defects in pellets produced at the resin supplier with the ability to remove pellets with defects from the pellet stream. Over the past five to ten years very high speed single screw extruders have been developed. These extruders are now commercially available and they are used by dozens of companies around the world. These machines run at speeds up to 1500 rpm; they achieve outputs that are about an order of magnitude above those of conventional extruders. This high speed single screw extruder technology is one of the most significant developments. Therefore, this topic has been added to the new edition in Chapter 2.

Plastics extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weatherstripping, fencing, deck railings, window frames, plastic films and sheeting, thermoplastic coatings, and wire insulation.


This process starts by feeding plastic material (pellets, granules, flakes or powders) from a hopper into the barrel of the extruder. The material is gradually melted by the mechanical energy generated by turning screws and by heaters arranged along the barrel. The molten polymer is then forced into a die, which shapes the polymer into a shape that hardens during cooling.[1] 350c69d7ab
