Description
Why is it important to get to equilibrium and how long does it take? Are there problems running polypropylene profiles on a single screw
extruder? Does the job involve compounding color concentrates on a corotating twin screw extruder? This unique reference work is designed
to aid operators, engineers, and managers in quickly answering such practical day-to-day questions in extrusion processing. This comprehensive
volume is divided into 7 Parts. It contains detailed reference data on such important operating conditions as temperatures, start-up
procedures, shear rates, pressure drops, and safety. This reference is a practical guide to extrusion bringing together both the equipment
and materials processing aspects. It provides basic and advanced topics about the thermoplastics processing in the extruder, for reference
and training.
Parts 1 u 3, emphasize the fundamentals, for operators and engineers, of polymeric materials extrusion processing in
single and twin screw extruders. Parts 4 u 7 treat advanced topics including troubleshooting, auxiliary equipment, and coextrusion for
operators, engineers, and managers. Extensive applications in Part 7 cover such contemporary areas as compounding, blown film, extrusion
blow molding, coating, foam, and reprocessing. Each chapter includes review topics.
Audience
Everyone involved in the extrusion industry needing a reference that deals with all the day-to-day activities in processing plastics, including troubleshooting.
