How a compounding extruder achieves industry leading output rates for both torque – and volume-limiting compounds.
Dean Elliott T
echnical Processing Manager
Compounders in the commodity and masterbatch markets typically run medium-to-large batch production sizes, and high production rates are particularly critical for them, which they typically run on a 24/7/365 basis. Learn how a newly developed compounder with the highest free volume at 18 Nm/cm3 torque density of any co-rotating twin screw extruder on the market is suited for these and any other torque- or power-limited applications. Other design features of this machine include ease of maintenance, machine health status tracking and an operational friendly interface. This extruder meets the needs of a fast-paced manufacturing environment where management can observe the OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) at a glance.

Biopolymer Compounding Done Right

There is a huge push from governments and consumers to use biodegradable polymers; most of their attention is focused on eliminating single-use, petroleum-based polymers.
Dean Elliott T
echnical Processing Manager
Biopolymers often do not meet required product property requirements in their pure form. Additives, fillers, and sometimes a portion of petroleum-based polymers are compounded into a biopolymer matrix to enhance product properties in order to meet product property requirements and/or reduce cost. Biopolymer compounds typically include a compounding step more than likely performed on a co-rotating twin-screw extruder (TSE). This presentation discusses preferential configurations of a co-rotating TSE and provides operator processing tips to achieve the highest possible output rates while achieving mix quality without over-shearing the materials.
