The development of laminar morphology in a co‐rotating twin screw extruder

Continuous Granulation with a Twin-Screw Extruder

evolution of co-continuous morphology along the screw length in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder and its effect on impact strength of compatibilized pa6/abs blend

an ultra-glide twin screw extruder is employed to allow the quick and easy removal of the screws from the fixed processing section within few seconds, probing the current degree of the melting state, the dispersive anddistributive processing steps and finally the level of morphology development along extruder screws. for morphological studies the molten samples, collected from different points ...

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...

Modeling of Transport Phenomena and Melting Kinetics of Starch in a Co-Rotating Twin-Screw Extruder

A mathematical model was developed to simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, and melting kinetics of starch in a co-rotating intermeshing twin-screw extruder (TSE). The partial differential equations governing the transport phenomena of the biomaterial in the extruder were solved by a finite element scheme. For validating the model, the predicted product pressure, bulk temperature at the entrance ...

Enzymatic hydrolysis of steam exploded corncob residues after pretreatment in a twin-screw extruder

A modified twin-screw extruder incorporated with a filtration device was used as a liquid/solid separator for xylose removal from steam exploded corncobs. A face centered central composite design was used to study the combined effects of various enzymatic hydrolysis process variables (enzyme loading, surfactant addition, and hydrolysis time) with two differently extruded corncobs (7% xylose rem...
