Structure Analysis and Optimization Design of FDM Wire Extruder Screw

Wet granulation in a twin-screw extruder: implications of screw design.

Wet granulation in twin-screw extrusion machinery is an attractive technology for the continuous processing of pharmaceuticals. The performance of this machinery is integrally tied to its screw design yet little fundamental knowledge exists in this emerging field for granulation to intelligently create, troubleshoot, and scale-up such processes. This study endeavored to systematically examine t...

Continuous Granulation with a Twin-Screw Extruder

Optimization Of Screw Compressor Design

An optimisation procedure for twin screw compressor design is described, which is based on an analytical algorithm for rotor profile generation combined with a differential model of the fluid flow and thermodynamic processes within the machine. Rotor profiles are generated from a rack which have both stronger female rotor lobes and higher displacement. Compressors thus designed have higher deli...

Design and optimization of poly lactic acid/bioglass composite screw for orthopedic applications

However, problems such as osteoporosis due to high elasticity of metals relative to bones, and local infections and systemic problems caused by releasing metallic ions have motivated research on replacing metallic screws with non metallic ones. In this study, the composite containing poly-l-lactic acid and bioactive glass fibers were considered for the design of the screw using ABAQUS software ...

Modeling, sensitivity analysis and parameter identification of a twin screw extruder

Following the recent success of hot-melt extrusion in the pharmaceutical field, monitoring and control are increasingly applied. In this study, a mathematical model consisting of mass and energy balance partial differential equations is developed and parameters related to material transportation are inferred from experimental data collected from a pilot plant. This data is relative to the outpu...
