Plastics Extrusion Technology Handbook
Offering complete and in-depth data and information on plastics extrusion, this practical handbook presents the technology of the subject rather than the theory. Presents an overview of extrusion technology as applied to the operation of extrusion systems and the design of tooling and equipment for use in the process. Provides basic technical information on the behavior of polymer and plastics materials in the extrusion process. Contains tool descriptions that provide a basis for the analysis of existing product lines as examples for the design of new systems. Includes illustrations of and background material on control systems for the extruder and extrusion process. Fundamentals of the Extrusion Process. Extruder Design, Construction and Operation. Extrusion Dies for Specific Product Lines. Controlling the Extrusion Process. Heat Transfer and Heat Content Considerations. Downstream Equipment and Auxiliary Units for Extrusion Lines. Coextrusion and Dual-Extrusion Technology. Extrusion of Cellular Plastics Products. Extrusion System Design and Integration. On-Line and Computer Control of the Extrusion Process. Plant Design and Operations. Extrusion Products and Processes. Glossary. Index.
Extrusion Cooking
Extrusion cooking is an ideal method for manufacturing a number of food products from snacks and breakfast cereals to baby foods. However, as a complex multivariate process it requires careful control if product quality is to be maintained. Edited by a leading authority in the field, and with an international team of contributors, this important collection reviews the key factors affecting quality and how they can be controlled in manufacturing a range of extruded products. The first part of Extrusion Cooking looks at general influences on quality. There are chapters on the selection of raw materials, criteria for selecting the right extruder, analysing and optimising thermal performance in extrusion cooking, and effective process control. There is also an important chapter on maintaining nutritional quality in extruded products. The second part of the book looks at the application of extrusion in particular product groups. Each chapter examines the range of extruded products within the product group, the specific production issues and future trends. It also includes chapters on key products such as breakfast cereals, snack foods and baby foods. Extrusion cooking will be widely welcomed as a major reference in maximising the quality of extruded products. A key reference to improving efficeincy and quality on extruded products
Extrusion Coating
This comprehensive study of extrusion coating technology describes the process and applications in detail, combining experimental data with computer modeling and the author's 30 years of experience. This methodology provides insight, clarity and assistance in problem solving, process optimization and new product development. The oportunities to exploit a wide range of polymers by the extrusion coater are discussed in detail. These include LDPE, HDPE, PP, ionomers, copolymers and blends and speciality materials, such as EVOH and PET. Everything you wanted to know about: Screw and die design for mono and coextrusion. Chill roll design and winders. Maximizing adhesion at high line speeds:- time in air gap and melt relaxation. Adhesion promotion:- corona, flame, ozone treatment and chemical primers. Feedblock and dual manifold coextrusion compared. Coextrusion:- control layer arrangement and eliminate interfacial instabilities. Optimize melt stability and minimize neck-in in air gap. Material selection:- polyethylenes, copolymers, ionomers, metallocenes, polypropylene etc. Substrates: pulp and paper, aluminium foil, plastic films etc. Applications for extrusion coatings and laminates.
