• Causes And Prevention Measures for Material Overflow at The Exhaust Port in Plastic Pelletizing

  Material overflow at the exhaust port during the TPE pelletizing process can impact production efficiency and product quality. The main causes include improper equipment configuration, inadequate temperature control, and poor filter management. To prevent overflow, manufacturers should ensure the feeding speed matches the main extruder speed, adjust the screw-barrel clearance, and install reverse conveying elements. Temperature should be precisely controlled to avoid incomplete plasticization or excessive material fluidity. Regularly replacing or cleaning filters and selecting appropriate filter apertures can also help prevent clogging and overflow. Implementing these measures ensures stable production and high-quality TPE pellets.

• How To Optimize The Single-Screw Extruder for Melt Feeding When A Twin-Screw Extruder Is Followed by A Single-Screw Extruder?

  This article discusses how to optimize a single-screw extruder for melt feeding when it follows a twin-screw extruder in a compounding production line. It focuses on the importance of the metering channel depth in the single-screw extruder, as this affects the specific throughput rate and discharge temperature. A deeper metering channel reduces the specific throughput rate and increases the discharge temperature, which can degrade sensitive additives like flame retardants. The article presents a case study of a 15-inch diameter screw with an initial metering channel depth of 1.73 inches, which leads to inefficiencies. It then proposes an optimized screw design with a shallower channel depth of 1.18 inches, improving throughput and reducing discharge temperature. The optimized screw requires additional torque, and its design factors include screw lead length and metering channel depth as a percentage of screw diameter.

• Causes of Excessive Smoke During Elastomer Pelletizing And Preventive Measures in Formulation And Process

  This article discusses the causes of excessive smoke during elastomer pelletizing and the preventive measures to address the issue. Key causes of smoke include raw material quality problems (such as impurities and moisture), improper temperature control in the extruder, excessive extrusion speed, and formulation issues (e.g., low-viscosity or low-flashpoint oils). The article suggests several preventive measures, including optimizing the formulation by selecting high-temperature-resistant materials, improving pelletizing processes by controlling temperature and extrusion speed, maintaining equipment regularly, and using high-quality base materials and oils. These measures help reduce smoke formation, improve safety, and enhance pellet quality during the elastomer pelletizing process.

• Selection of Plastic Additives

  This article discusses the selection principles and specific applications of plastic additives. Additives should be chosen based on the intended purpose, ensuring they can fully perform their functions and meet the required standards and performance specifications. Various types of additives and their applications are listed, including toughening, reinforcing, flame retardant, antistatic, conductive, magnetic, thermal conductivity, heat resistance, transparency, wear resistance, insulation, and barrier properties. The selectivity of additives for different resins is also addressed, highlighting the effectiveness of red phosphorus, nitrogen-based flame retardants, nucleating agents, and glass fiber heat resistance modifiers for specific resins. For example, red phosphorus is effective for PA, PBT, and PET, while nucleating agents work well for copolymer polypropylene.

• Twin-screw Granulator Main Engine Operation Precautions And Shutdown Operation Methods

  When operating a twin-screw pelletizer, special attention must be given to the main machine to ensure stable performance. Key precautions include maintaining proper current levels, monitoring pressure sensors, and checking lubrication oil pressure. Shutdown operations fall into two categories: normal shutdown and emergency shutdown. Normal shutdown involves gradually stopping feeding, reducing screw speed, and turning off auxiliary equipment. In case of an emergency, the operator should press the emergency stop button and cut off power immediately before troubleshooting the issue.

• When Is The Best Dyeing Effect for TPE\TPR? How To Ensure Uniform Dyeing

  There are two main dyeing methods for TPE/TPR: dyeing before granulation and dyeing before molding. Dyeing before granulation ensures better color uniformity and production efficiency, while dyeing before molding offers more flexibility but may result in uneven color distribution. To achieve uniform dyeing, manufacturers should use masterbatch instead of color powder, optimize mold temperature, minimize release agent usage, and ensure high-quality raw materials. Other factors, such as injection speed and mold exhaust, also impact color consistency and should be carefully controlled.
