Design of dies with convergent and non-circular sections
Quantitative design of extruder dies for rubber compounds and
thermoplastics requires a knowledge of the pumping performance of the
extruder, for an appropriate extruder-die interaction. The dies are
generally formed from a succession of convergent, circular or noncircular
ducts with axial varying geometrical dimensions. The design
and operation of dies of these types is then a matter of sufficient
importance to justify a detailed analysis of the factors involved. [Continues.
The effect of internal mixer variables on the rheological properties and extrusion characteristics of an ethylene-propylene rubber compound
The influence that changes in mixing variables
exert on the subsequent processing behaviour of rubber
compounds is recognised throughout the rubber industry.
In the light of this statement an investigation was set
with the following objectives:
(i) define this influence;
(ii) correlate the rheological properties which control
extrusion behaviour with the properties which represent
the behaviour;
(iii) determine degree of control which needs to be
delivered at the internal mixer to produce a uniform
feed-stock for extruders. [Continues.
