Description
Co-Rotating Twin-Screw Extrusion Line for Materials Processing and Development
The Periplast iTorq 31½ × 36D extrusion line is a materials processing and forming system designed for the development, compounding, and processing of polymeric materials, composites, and multiphase systems. It features a co-rotating twin-screw extruder with modular, configurable screws, allowing conveying, melting, mixing, kneading, and shearing operations to be tailored to the characteristics of the materials and the specific processing objectives.
The equipment is fitted with gravimetric feeding, thermal control, vacuum degassing, and filtration systems, as well as instrumentation for monitoring melt pressure and temperature. The line also incorporates a strand extrusion die, a cooling bath, a drying system, and a pelletizer, enabling the production of polymer pellets for subsequent processing and characterization.
Centralized equipment control, together with the acquisition and recording of process parameters, enables operating conditions to be monitored, formulations to be developed and reproduced, and the influence of manufacturing parameters on the properties of the resulting materials to be investigated.
With a nominal production capacity of up to 80 kg/h, this equipment is intended for research and development activities, materials characterization and optimization, advanced education and training, and the development of innovative solutions in the field of polymeric materials and composites.
