The present invention relates to new screw elements for multi-screw extruders with pairs of co-rotating and fully wiping screws.

A process includes combining a metallocene catalyzed polypropylene with a nucleator and a slip agent to form a composition, and forming a cast film from the composition. The slip agent may exhibit an increased slip bloom rate within the cast film relative to the slip bloom rate exhibited by the slip agent in an otherwise identical cast film in which the nucleator is not present in the cast film. The cast film may exhibit a coefficient of friction that is less than a coefficient of friction of an otherwise identical cast film in which the nucleator is not present in the cast film.

An extruder is disclosed, and more particularly, to an integrated single screw extruder and a twin screw extruder for mixing, compounding, kneading and/or extruding of materials. The integrated extruder includes a first barrel assembly and a second barrel assembly. The integrated extruder further includes a first screw having a first threaded portion and a second threaded portion. The first threaded portion is housed within the first barrel assembly and is configured to provide upstream material processing. The second threaded portion is housed within the second barrel assembly and is configured to provide downstream material processing. The integrated extruder further includes a second screw having a non-threaded shaft portion and a threaded portion. The threaded portion of the second screw is housed within the second barrel assembly and is configured to provide the downstream material processing with the second threaded portion of the first screw.

A mixing and extrusion machine for tire sealant materials of the type comprising: a dump extruder equipped with conical converging twin screws located in a batching chamber, said chamber having a low pressure feeding area and a high pressure ducted area; a removable blind flange for temporarily sealing the outlet of said batching chamber so that said material is forced to recirculate between said duct area and said feeding area within said batching chamber, said chamber thereby also acting as a compounding chamber; and an inlet port located in the high pressure ducted area, the inlet port capable of introducing a diluent during mixing of a tire sealant material.

A process involving the dehalogenation of plastic materials, or mixtures of plastic materials, including recycled ones, containing halogenated components is described, wherein during the heating to 150 C.-450 C. of the material to be treated, a dehalogenating agent containing nitrogen is added in such a quantity that the ratio between the moles of nitrogen of the dehalogenating agent and the sum of the moles of halogen contained in the plastic material is at least 1:1.

A process includes combining a metallocene catalyzed polypropylene with a nucleator and a slip agent to form a composition, and forming a cast film from the composition. The slip agent may exhibit an increased slip bloom rate within the cast film relative to the slip bloom rate exhibited by the slip agent in an otherwise identical cast film in which the nucleator is not present in the cast film. The cast film may exhibit a coefficient of friction that is less than a coefficient of friction of an otherwise identical cast film in which the nucleator is not present in the cast film.

An extruder screw includes a screw main body, conveyance portions, barrier portions, and paths. The raw materials, the conveyance of which is limited by the barrier portions, flow in from the entrance. The raw materials flowing in from the entrance flow through the paths in an opposite direction to a conveyance direction of the conveyance portions. The exit is opened in the outer circumferential surface of the screw main body at a position on an upstream side in the conveyance direction in the conveyance portions in which the entrance is opened.

In order to provide a twin-screw extruder that can also be effectively used for a use, such as straining, since suppressing an increase in load power and the generation of heat of a material in a hopper unit and increasing pressure for extruding a material from a material outlet in a compression unit, the size of the lead angle of a screw blade at the position of the compression unit is set to be larger than the size of the lead angle of the screw blade at the position of the hopper unit 11 and the screw blade is disposed at the position of the compression unit so as to be wound two or more times.
