A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Accurate prediction of breakthrough extruding force is very important for extrusion production, especially for the large-scale extrusion process, which directly affects the production costs and safety ...

Editor?s note: The author, Donald E. De Laney, a consultant in polymer process rheology, worked with GE for 17 years and has worked with Dynisco over the past eight years. The plastics compounding and ...

Extrusion is a process used for creating a product (an extrudate) by forcing a material through a die or an orifice to form a shape, or alternatively an extruder is used to produce semi-finished or ...
