PCP - Process: (PCP) CA-Twin Screw Compounding Extruder System

What is it?
Twin Screw Extruder for compounding and reactive extrusion

Manufacturer: Leistriz

Model Name: ZSE27-MAXX

Applications: Preparation of polymer pellets or filaments compounded with fibres or additives/filler. Preparation of chemically modified/enhanced polymer resin through reactive extrusion, E.g., functionalisation, grafting, chain extension, etc. Mixing and preparation of polymer alloy or blends.

Instrument Overview: A polymer twin-screw extruder is a versatile machine used in polymer processing to compound additives and fibers into polymer melts. Its purpose is to efficiently mix, melt, and homogenize materials while controlling temperature and pressure. The extruder consists of intermeshing screws within a barrel, facilitating thorough mixing and dispersion. Additionally, it enables reactive extrusion processes where chemical reactions occur within the melt. Typically paired with the extruder is an underwater pelletizer. It forms extruded polymer melts into uniform pellets by cutting them underwater. This method offers advantages like rapid cooling, minimizing thermal degradation, and producing spherical pellets suitable for various applications.

Technical features and specifications:
1) High temperature operations: 50-450 C. 2) Fibre (Up to 30 % carbon/glass fibre) compounding 3) Additive/filler compounding 4) Suitable for high flow polymer melts 5) Melt pump to regulate and control extrusion pressure 6) Chemical and abrasion resistant barrel and screw. 7) Forms polymre into either Pellets or Filaments.
