Melting Zone Elements: Uniform and Intense Shear

The document discusses different melting zone elements in a co-rotating extruder. Multiple lobe kneading blocks are essential to ensure uniform yet intense shear in the melting process, reducing material degradation. Kneading elements with multiple lobe geometry enhance melting efficiency in metallurgy by subjecting the thermoplastic to intense shear through their unique designs.

MELTING ZONE ELEMENTS

UNIFORM AND INTENSE SHEAR

The melting process in a co-rotating extruder is different


and the thermoplastic is subjected to intense shear. This
work is done by Kneading Blocks. Multiple lobe
geometry is essential in ensuring the shear uniformity
without sacrificing the shear intensification. With this,
the probability of material degradation is reduced.
Kneading Elements with multiple-lobe geometr y
enhance the melting efficiency in metallurgy.
