Which screw designs work on which raw materials? How is a motor calculated? And when is a multi-channel-die required? The webinar guides the audience through the process of selecting proper sheet ...
A radar-based system that precisely monitors the quality of plastic sheet extrusion is under development by Germany’s SKZ Plastics Center and two partner companies. The non-destructive and non-contact ...
New foam extrusion technology from Switzerland’s Promix Solutions promises to reduce raw material consumption by 20% thanks to a proprietary process that creates small, evenly distributed cells. Foam ...
Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...
Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...
Hot melt extrusion (HME) formulation development depends heavily on choosing the appropriate polymers. This article reviews HME process parameters and highlights three polymers in HME: polyethylene ...
