Improving mixing characteristics with a pitched tip in kneading elements in twin-screw extrusion
Yasuya Nakayama, Hiroki Takemitsu, Toshihisa Kajiwara +3
In twin-screw extrusion, the geometry of a mixing element mainly determines the basic flow pattern, which eventually affects the mixing ability as well as the dispersive ability of…
Effects of pitched tips of novel kneading disks on melt mixing in twin-screw extrusion
Yasuya Nakayama, Nariyoshi Nishihira, Toshihisa Kajiwara +3
In mixing highly viscous materials, like polymers, foods, and rubbers, the geometric structure of the mixing device is a determining factor for the quality of the mixing process. I…
Melt-Mixing by Novel Pitched-Tip Kneading Disks in a Co-Rotating Twin-Screw Extruder
Yasuya Nakayama, Eiji Takeda, Takashi Shigeishi +2
Melt-mixing in twin-screw extruders is a key process in the development of polymer composites. Quantifying the mixing performance of kneading elements based on their internal physi…
