A method for extruding a recycled polymer from an impure extrudable material comprises injecting a non-solvent in a liquid state into an apparatus and mixing substantially homogeneously the non-solvent with the impure extrudable material, thereby forming a dispersion of the non-solvent with the impure extrudable material. The impurities are output in a gaseous state from the apparatus.

A signal acquisition unit of an abnormality detection device for a twin-screw extrusion molding machine, when the twin-screw extrusion molding machine that melts and kneads a fed resin raw material is in operation, acquires an AE output of an AE sensor installed on a surface of a housing of the twin-screw extrusion molding machine. A determination unit determines whether an abnormality occurs in the twin-screw extrusion molding machine, based on a relationship between the AE output and a first threshold and a second threshold.

The invention provides a thermal adhesive laminated oriented film containing a substrate layer comprising a resin composition containing 99.9 to 60% by mass of a polyamide resin or a polymethylpentene resin and 0.1 to 40% by mass of a modified polyolefin resin; and a thermal adhesive layer containing a thermal adhesive polyolefin resin and provided on each of both surfaces of the substrate layer so as to be in direct contact therewith by coextrusion. When a machine direction is defined as an X axis, a transverse direction is defined as a Y axis, and a thickness direction is defined as a Z axis, the film is stretched and oriented in at least one direction of the X axis or the Y axis, and has a thermal deformation rate at 150 C. of 4% or less in both directions of the X axis and the Y axis.

A production device for melt-blown non-woven fabric, with which a high molecular weight polymer can be reduced in molecular weight by applying a shear force to the high molecular weight polymer without adding an additive such as a peroxide that promotes thermal decomposition reaction, and a low molecular weight polymer can be efficiently produced. The low molecular weight polymer and the melt-blown non-woven fabric are produced using a continuous high shearing device that applies a shear force to the high molecular weight polymer serving as a raw material by rotation of a screw body 37 to reduce the molecular weight of the high molecular weight polymer so as to obtain a low molecular weight polymer, and cools the low molecular weight polymer by passing the low molecular weight polymer through a passage 88 arranged in the axial direction inside the screw body 37.

A biaxial continuous kneading extrusion device (10) includes a biaxial kneading feeder (16) including two passage sections (11, 12) arranged in parallel in a state of communication with each other, and first and second kneading feed shafts (14, 15) rotatably arranged in the two passage sections, respectively, to knead a supplied material and a uniaxial screw section including a single passage section that receives the material fed out from the biaxial kneading feeder, and a separate screw shaft rotatably disposed in the single passage section to extrude the material. In each of the first and second kneading feed shafts, a mixing rotor is formed in at least one section in an axial direction, a maximum outer diameter section is formed in a section of an outer periphery of the mixing rotor, and a chip clearance is formed between the maximum outer diameter section and inner walls of the passage sections.

Continuous processing equipment is suitable for use in the preparation of elastomeric compositions from end-of-life tire crumb or other vulcanized rubber starting materials. A reactor includes an outer barrel, a first shaft and a second shaft, and one or more piezoelectric transducer-driven acoustic horns arranged along the outer barrel and penetrating the outer barrel through a series of vibration-isolated ports which traverse a jacket of the outer barrel.
