K-Tron: producing LFTs
Smart Feeding & Conveying Solutions
Application Example Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics
New Technologies
Long Fiber Reinforced Thermo- plastics are a recent development in newer technologies where PP or thermoplastic material is directly compounded with long glass fibers (rovings) and then molded in one operation. Long Fiber Thermo-plastic technologies are the buzz of the auto industry in Europe and the US and are one of the most important trends in the plastics industry today.
Glass fibers of ½” (12 mm) up to 2“ (50 mm) length give much higher stiffness, strength and toughness than the 1/8“ (3 mm) fibers that have been used for reinforcement for decades.
Long Fiber Reinforced Thermo- plastics (LFT) have excellent mechanical proper ties and stiffness-to-weight ratio which is of great interest to the auto- motive industry. These in-line compounding processes for long fiber material offer users more flexibility, as they are able to both compound and process such
materials in accordance with their own formulation and also use ready made compounds.
For this process gravimetric feed- ers are used to feed the main polymer as well as the additives. Short term accuracy is one of the key elements because of the very short residence time in the twin screw compounder. The process requires a 5–8% 2Sigma devia- tion at a sample time of 5–10 sec. at a feed rate of 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) of irregular additive pellets.
Processes
There are currently three tech- nologies of interest in the current market. These are E-LFT, D-LFT and S-LFT.
E-LFT is the in-line compounding and direct extrusion of long fiber reinforced thermoplastics as pro- files or sheets, while D-LFT is the in-line compounding and direct compression molding of long fiber reinforced thermoplastics. S-LFT is the inline compounding
and direct injection of long fiber reinforced thermoplastics.
All three processes use continu- ous gravimetric feeders to feed accurately into the continuously operating extruder. Long fiber thermoplastics technology uses special screw configurations for both, single and twin screw extruders.
Ingredients
The base polymer is generally fed with a single screw or vibra- tory loss-in-weight feeder. The integrated vacuum receiver is responsible for the steady refill of the LWF.
One to three additives such as colors, stabilizers, etc. in pow- der or pellet form are added via smaller loss-in-weight feeders (single or twin screwfeeders, vibratory feeders or Bulk Solids Pump feeders).
Edge trimmings and other re- cycled materials are shredded and fed back into the process at a

predetermined ratio using vibra- tory loss-in-weight feeders.
Fiberglass
The glass fiber filaments are pulled into the extruder from con- tinuous glass rovings on bobbins by the rotation of the screw shaft.
The throughput of the fiber is vol- umetric and quite steady. Each fiber stand is monitored by an infrared sensor. The gravimetric throughput of the fiberglass can also be checked by mounting the bobbins on scales and measuring the weight loss over time.
End Products
Most LFT end products are pro- duced for the automobile indus- try. These molded parts include body panels, sound shields, front-end assemblies, struc- tural body parts, truck panels and housings as well as doors, tailgates and fender sections. Development is also strong in other areas of application in the electrical and building industries.
This four-page technical white paper from K-Tron discusses the selection of optimised materials feeding systems for the efficient production of long-fibre- reinforced thermoplastics (LFTs).
