In this research, the possibilities of applying extrusion process to produce functional food from quinoa enriched with goji berries were studied. The physical (expansion ratio, bulk density, hardness, and specific mechanical energy) (water solubility index, water absorption index) characteristics determined optimized by response surface methodology. Extrudates produced using a laboratory single...

This paper discusses our preliminary trials examining the particle size and particle shape of granules produced by different screw elements in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. In general, conveying elements did not provide the necessary consolidation to allow large particles to grow in significant quantity, whereas the different mixing elements led to the large particles desired for tablettin...

Combining statistical process control, artificial neural networks and an expert system for the intelligent analysis and control of a plastic extruder facility is described. Statistical methodology is compared and contrasted to the exploratory neural network technique, which learns to relate and classify dependent production variables based on measurements taken on-line during the process. Integ...

The relevance of the study is due to fact that loading granulated polymer material into working hopper extruders mainly carried out manually from bags by production operators. capacity hoppers limited with a significant height bulk material, an increase in static pressure occurs lower layers, which leads formation vaults, uneven supply cylinder and deterioration quality products. Since work pro...

This study aims to determine the optimal 3D Printer filament extruder machine design, design of components for production, single screw used production. The research method is creating flow chart, result calculation diameter 1.77 mm, by measuring taking a 2 meters long sample be measured every 10 cm. most influential in this are diameter, length extruder, winding process, production capacity an...

Lignocellulosic biomass is both low cost and abundant, unlike energy crops, can escape associated ethical dilemmas such as arable land use food security issues. However, their usage raw material in a biorefinery implies an inherent upstream pretreatment step to access compounds of interest derived from lignocellulosic biomass. Importantly, the efficiency this determinant for downstream processe...
