Tips for Optimizing Twin-Screw Extruder Performance Set Zones #1 #2 to Higher Temperatures to Decrease Wear of Plasticating Screw Elements Switch to Synthetic Gear Oil Anti-Seize * Thermal Insulator Gasket After Feed Barrel Minimizes heat transfer from barrel #2 to feed barrel Allows feed barrel to run cooler Allows barrel #2 to run hotter Use heat to supply more energy, to lessen the mechanical workload on the screw elements Newton’s 3rd law: If kneaders apply force to melt the pellets, the pellets apply an equal/opposite force to the kneaders Elevating zone 1 2 temps will usually not increase the Tm Side Stuffing of Powders Use back-venting Make drop height as short as possible to avoid fluidizing Choose feeder agitation type to preserve powder density Make sure stuffer hopper is vented adequately Ground all hoppers/chutes to drain static electricity If caking persists use compressed air “blaster”on a timer Insulate Melt Pipes and Dies Advantages: Eliminates “cold spots” due to uneven heater coverage Stops zone from cycling up and down Initial heat-up is faster Safer for operators, reduces burn incidents Die Lip Buildup Ways To Minimize It: Coat outer lip surfaces with mold release Install vacuum box to suction away vapors Reduce die/melt temp. Try additives such as stearates Change to a High Pressure Pump for More Efficient Barrel Cooling Process is mostly exothermic (generates heat) Constant zone temperature overrides High pressure delivery induces turbulent flow instead of laminar flow Turbulent flow inhibits fouling from scale build-up Pumps are available which produce 120 psi. (standard = 30-60 psi) Set Barrel Cooling Water Temp. at 120°F Why Would You Do This? Process is not very exothermic Heat zones tend to cycle up and down all day Can result in much smoother temperature control Acid Flushing of Barrel Cooling Bores Prevents scale build-up in barrels Improves heat tran
