A method for the improved extrusion of polyethylene polymers comprising passing polyethylene through a single stage, twin screw extruder comprising a solid polymer conveying zone, a polymer melting zone, a dispersive mixing zone, and a distributive mixing/pumping zone, in which the throughput and screw speed are optimized to reduce the number of gels present, ensure complete polymer melting within the polymer melting zone, and to minimize polymer degradation.

The invention relates to continuous methods for compounding and applying adhesives, characterized in that (i) a base component of the adhesive is mixed continuously with at least one aggregate so as to produce a compounded adhesive; and (ii) the adhesive compounded in this manner is applied to a substrate. The invention also relates to such methods where a device as described here is used to carry out the method.

A device for mixing at least two fluid to pasty substances has a housing (2) with at least two openings (5, 6) for feeding the substances and with a discharge opening (8), a mixing element (3) which can rotate in the housing (2), which mixing element (3) can be displaced in the direction (17) of its axis (7) in relation to the housing (2) in order to adjust the size of a gap (18) between a conically tapering part (14) of the mixing element (3) and a likewise tapering region (15) of the housing (2) in order to adjust the shear rate in the region of the gap (18). The mixing element (3) has a region (9) in which annular ribs (11) are provided which project from the mixing element (3) and which engage between adjacent annular ribs (12) which project from the inner surface (10) of the housing (2).

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of adhesion property improvement, particularly to a process and device for improvement treatment of a polyester cord and a rubber adhesive. By filling an extremely few amount of calcined gypsum powders into chloroprene rubber to be secondarily stirred and extruded while adding fatty acid calcium and an anti-aging agent and uniformly mixing a stirring and mixing component using a specific solvent, the adhesion behavior between the rubber adhesive and the polyester cord is increased, and the bonding strength between the rubber adhesive and the polyester cord is improved; furthermore, through mutual connection and installation of the extrusion modification component, stirring and mixing component and the compounding modification component, continuous operation of modification treatment of the polyester cord and the rubber adhesive, the structure is simple, and use is convenient. .

A method for producing a lignocellulose plastic composite material, in particular a simpler and more cost-effective option for producing lignocellulose plastic composite materials. Thermoplastic particles and a mixture of water and lignocellulose-containing particles are supplied to a refiner, and the lignocellulose-containing particles are reduced to fibres in the refiner. The thermoplastic particles are supplied to the refiner in a melted or fused state, or are melted or fused in the refiner, so that the melted or fused thermoplastic particles and the lignocellulose-containing particles that are reduced to fibres form material composite particles in the refiner.

A latex processing system and method involves mixing a latex and at least one solvent blend in an extruder, in order to remove resin found in the latex and to coagulate the latex to form a coagulum. The at least one solvent blend has a first solvent configured to coagulate the latex, and a second solvent configured to swell the resulting coagulum. In particular, a series of the solvent blends may be used at different locations along a length of the extruder, and may further include distinct blends of the first solvent and the second solvent, introduced at the different locations, and having different ratios of the first solvent and the second solvent.

A mixing device includes a first feed opening for a first liquidpreferably gas-ladenplastics component, a second feed opening for a second liquid plastics component, and a discharge opening for discharging a mixture of the first and the second liquid plastics component. The mixing device has a rotating agitator for mixing the first and second liquid plastics components, and a gap remains between the agitator and the discharge opening. An adjustment device is provided which either varies the gap by way of a relative movement between discharge opening and agitator or varies the size of the discharge opening. A regulating device is connected in signal-transmitting fashion to a sensor for determining a pressure prevailing in the mixing device. The regulating device sets the gap, or the size of the discharge opening, by the adjustment device such that the pressure prevailing in the mixing device has a predetermined value.

A mixing section for an extrusion screw comprises a shaft having at least one set of spaced-apart cuspidate shaft teeth, with the shaft teeth extending radially outwardly from a root of the shaft. Each of the shaft teeth comprises a flank face and a rake face opposite the flank face, with the tooth transitioning between the flank face and the rake face at an outermost cusp. Some embodiments have one or more longitudinally extending, longitudinally spaced series of annular sets of circumferentially spaced shaft teeth. Some embodiments have one or more helically extending series of spaced-apart cuspidate shaft teeth. The mixing section may be received in a mixing section barrel to form a mixing portion of a screw extruder.

A method of forming a fiber-reinforced molding compound. The method includes establishing a melt stream of a source material and dosing a composite material into the melt stream. The composite material includes carbon reinforcing fibers pre-impregnated by a polymeric material. The composite material has at least 30% of the fibers protected by the polymeric material. The method further includes forming a molding compound from the source and composite materials, dispensing the molding compound from the extruder, and using the molding compound to produce a part.
