- Key Points of Compounding Process And Equipment for PVA Modified Film SpecialtiesThis article explains the key process and equipment requirements for producing PVA modified compound pellets used in biodegradable film applications. Due to its thermal sensitivity and strong hydrogen bonding, PVA must be compounded with plasticizers and additives before extrusion processing. The twin screw extruder plays a critical role by ensuring proper mixing, plasticization, and dispersion. Key factors include precise temperature control, efficient vacuum venting, high L/D screw configuration, and a stable liquid injection system for adding plasticizers. The article also outlines the typical compounding workflow, common production issues such as fisheyes and moisture, and practical solutions. Overall, selecting the right equipment and optimizing process parameters are essential to achieving high-quality, stable PVA pellets for film production.Products Release May 11, 2026
- The "Invisible Killer" in Plastics Extrusion: Understanding Polymer DegradationPolymer degradation in an extruder acts as an "invisible killer," manifesting as discoloration, gels, odors, and compromised mechanical strength. This article analyzes the specific mechanisms behind thermal breakdown (depolymerization, chain scission), mechanical shear degradation (where stress snaps polymer chains in half), and thermo-oxidative degradation caused by oxygen. Crucially, it explores how extruder "dead zones" increase residence time, rendering antioxidants useless and causing severe carbonization. By understanding these thermodynamic and mechanical challenges, operators can optimize temperature controls, screw profiles, and machine design to produce defect-free extruded plastics.Products Release May 07, 2026
- How Does A Twin-Screw Corn Puffer Work?A twin-screw corn puffer operates as a continuous reactor that converts mechanical energy into thermal energy to cook and expand cereal grains. Through a modular structure consisting of feeding, extrusion, heating, and cutting systems, the machine ensures uniform starch gelatinization and instant expansion at the die head. Compared to single-screw alternatives, the twin-screw extruder offers superior forced-feeding stability, excellent self-cleaning, and the ability to process complex formulations, making it the essential equipment for high-quality puffed snack production.Products Release April 30, 2026
