Initially published "to bridge the gap between theory and practice in extrusion", this 4th edition of Polymer Extrusion continues to serve the practicing polymer engineer and chemist, providing the theoretical and the practical tools for successful extrusion operations. In its completely revised form, it also incorporates the many new developments in extrusion theory and machinery over the last 15 years.

This book teaches SPC and its application to specific processes in an integrated fashion. Many SPC training programs are taught by people that are very familiar with statistics but know little about plastics processing technology. However, successful implementation of SPC requires an understanding of SPC as well as process know-how. This book, therefore, aims to teach not only the principles of SPC but also basic injection molding and extrusion process technology.

Troubleshooting extrusion problems is one of the most challenging tasks for everyone involved in extrusion operations. It requires a good understanding of the extrusion process, knowledge of the material properties, good instrumentation, good analysis tools, and a systematic and logical approach. This book addresses all issues crucial in extrusion troubleshooting. In addition, industrial case studies, richly illustrated with photographs and photomicrographs are used to provide exemplary approaches to efficient problem analysis and problem solving.

The book provides a practical understanding of basic information on extrusion in a way useful to readers without an engineering degree as well as to those new to the field. It is primarily written for extruder operators, supervisors, technical service personnel, and process engineers. Designed for on-the-job use, it guides the reader step by step through material issues, machinery, processing and troubleshooting.

The completely revised and extended second edition now also covers high-speed extrusion, how to reduce material cost, efficient extrusion, purging and product changeover, how to reduce energy consumption, new developments in extruder screw design and more.

 Written in 1988 for Dr. Rauwendaal's PhD Thesis.

 This dissertation deals with various theoretical and experimental aspects of leakage flow of polymer melts in the flight clearance of screw extruders. A special leakage flow test (LFT) apparatus was developed to measure leakage flow over a flight. Experiments were also performed on a 38-mm single screw extruder with various polymers. A detailed theoretical analysis of melt conveying in screw extruders including leakage flow was developed; both analytical and numerical analyses are presented. The implications of this research is discussed in detail, specifically issues related to wear problems caused by metal-to-metal contact between screw and barrel.

This book bridges the gap between theory and practice in the extrusion field. Now in its fifth edition, the best-selling Polymer Extrusion continues to provide valuable, up-to-date information for polymer engineers and chemists who need both theoretical and practical tools for successful extrusion operations. Since the last edition in 2001, there have been many new developments in the field and are incorporated in this edition.

Chris Rauwendaal, president of Rauwendaal Extrusion Engineering, Inc., (REE, Inc), has experience in a wide range of extrusion operations, including fiber spinning, film, sheet, tubing, medical tubing, pipe, and profile extrusion, co-extrusion, and reactive extrusion. Rauwendaal holds several patents in the field of polymer processing. He has worked on both practical and theoretical problems, such as screw-and-die design, trouble shooting, modeling and computer simulation, material analysis, and failure analysis.

Chris J. Rauwendaal has been fascinated with the extrusion process since the very beginning of his career as a new hire at American Enka. "I was bitten by the extrusion bug," said Rauwendaal, president of Rauwendaal Extrusion Engineering Inc. (REE). From American Enka, he moved to Raychem Corp., where he held successive positions that familiarized him with a broad range of polymer processes, including extrusion, molding, post-forming operations, polymer characterization and rheology. He calls his time there a tremendous learning experience. "Raychem, at the time, had many bright people doing really good work," he said.

That training provided the basis for the launch of his Auburn, Calif., company in 1990. Today, REE develops screws and mixers for specialized applications and runs educational seminars for processors, a service he calls crucial to the industry. Trained as a mechanical engineer in Europe, Rauwendaal has opinions about how to improve the quality and throughput of extrusion machinery. He recently shared his views with Plastics Machinery Magazine senior correspondent John DeGaspari.

Rauwendaal: That really happened by coincidence. My first job was at American Enka, in Enka, N.C., a company that manufactured man-made fiber. They told me that I was going to be their extrusion person. I had to learn a lot, but I really enjoyed it and I was able to do some good work when I was there. I decided to leave in 1977 because the fiber industry was going through hard times, but I wanted to stay in the polymer industry. I wanted to work in extrusion because I felt that it was a fascinating subject where there is still so much technology to be improved, and the theory still was pretty much in development.

At my next job at Raychem Corp., I worked in extrusion and compounding and characterization of polymers. That was a tremendous learning experience for me. It was a very diverse company when it came to materials and processing technology, and they had developed a number of proprietary processes and machinery.

Rauwendaal: As a mechanical engineer, I am drawn to the machinery. When you look at process engineering, in Europe it is typically part of mechanical engineering and in the U.S. it is part of chemical engineering. In the U.S., people who work in polymer processing tend to have more of a materials focus, and the Europeans tend to have more of a machinery focus. I think that's why you see that most of the machinery developments in extrusion tend to occur in Germany and in Austria, where they have very good engineering education but also a good focus on smart design of machinery and close cooperation between industry and universities. We could learn from that.

Rauwendaal: What I see quite often is that a company buys a machine, and they basically rely on the machine manufacturer to tell them what they need. This is not always a good idea, because there are certain things that machine manufacturers might not incorporate. Also, some extruder manufacturers are not up to date on the latest developments in extrusion. What I recommend is not to rely solely on the recommendations of the extruder manufacturer. I believe that it is really important that you have a person either in-house or an external expert who knows what is really important and is able to set the right specifications. I have helped a number of companies get the right extrusion equipment. Getting the wrong extrusion equipment can be extremely costly.

Rauwendaal: I look at SPC as a very powerful tool that should be used by any high-quality manufacturing company, whether it's extrusion or molding or machining parts. I find that the use of SPC is not nearly as widespread as you would expect. We live in a very competitive world today, and if you don't use the relatively simple tools that are available, you put yourself at a serious disadvantage.

Those kinds of details are sometimes forgotten or not considered. I see many extrusion companies that use a pressure transducer with a temperature sensor in the transducer, and they take that temperature as being the melt temperature of the molten polymer. That is completely incorrect, but it is so important and so basic that it really should be widely known.

It is also very helpful to use an infrared melt temperature measurement, where you get very fast response. If you have the combination of the immersion probe and the infrared melt temperature measurement, then you can really understand what is going on with your extrusion process. Unfortunately, this is something that very few companies actually do.

Abstract:A review paper is presented on modeling for polymer extrusion for both single screw and twin-screw extrusion. An issue of global modeling is discussed, which includes modeling for solid conveying, melting, melt flow, and co-operation of the screw/die system. The classical approach to global modeling of the extrusion process, which is based on separate models for each section of the screw, i.e., solid transport section, melting and pre-melting sections, and the melt flow section is presented. In this case, the global model consists of the elementary models. A novel continuous concept of global modeling based on CFD (Computational Fluids Dynamics) computations is also presented, and a concept of using the DEM (Discrete Element Method) computation coupled with CFD computations is discussed.Keywords: polymers; extrusion; modeling be457b7860
