The extrusion of rubber profiles, as used for automotive production, is a highly complex continuous production process which is strongly influenced by variability in input materials and other external conditions. The personal experience of the production line operators continues to play an important role here, as analytical models exist only for small parts of such processes, and systems for au...

Most spider threads are on the micrometre and sub-micrometre scale. Yet, there are some spiders that spin true nano-scale fibres such as the cribellate orb spider, Uloborus plumipes. Here, we analyse the highly specialized capture silk-spinning system of this spider and compare it with the silk extrusion systems of the more standard spider dragline threads. The cribellar silk extrusion system c...

The present study aims at discussing the potential advantages of multiple unit dosage forms (pellets etc.) over the single unit dosage forms (tablets). Pelletization is a novel drug delivery system; a technique which converts fine powder particles into pellets. Review deals with the pellet and its various types of pelletization techniques like spheronization and extrusion, pelletization by laye...

The main problem in liquid porosimetry, which prevents to see the pore sizes smaller than 2 microns in diameter, is direct gas diffusion flow through a micro-porous membrane. This diffusion causes bubbles formation below the membrane and that spoils extrusion (intrusion) data, as one cannot distinguish the volume of extrusion (intrusion) liquid from the volume of formatted bubbles. The suggeste...

In this article, technology for producing wire and rod solder from 52In-48Sn alloy has been developed investigated in the conditions of small-scale production. The use direct extrusion rods instead traditional solder, which includes pressing, rolling drawing, can significantly reduce fleet required equipment. Using only a melting furnace hydraulic press, wires be produced various sizes. Shorten...

The drug making resreach has accentuated on extrusion technology for a long time. The advance of drug bioavailibility, bead manufacturing and granulation is assured by extrusion procedures. There are also diverse effects in resereches with respect to the use of process understanging as a tool in quality management. Many initiatives of FDA such as PAT and QBD are getting accepted. In this survey...

Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with Al2O3 and SiC particles (5 Vol%) were produced using the hot powder extrusion method. Extrusion temperature and extrusion reduction in area were chosen in the range of 500 to 600°C and 90 to 95%, respectively. The physical and mechanical properties of the extruded composites such as density, tensile strength, elongation and microhardness were evaluated...
