Monofilament, including drawn fiber, is extruded from molten polymer resin materials. These resins include very-long-chain polymer molecules. In the melt phase, these molecules are arranged in a ...

Drawn fiber is used in a wide range of applications including over-braiding for hoses, medical braiding, weaves as mist eliminators, strengthening for industrial belting applications, instrument and ...

Polyvinyl chloride pipes have become the backbone of modern plumbing, drainage, and irrigation systems worldwide. Understanding the intricate manufacturing process behind these ubiquitous construction ...

FLUID extrusion is normally conducted as shown in Fig. 1a, where the diameter of the billet is smaller than the maximum diameter of the die opening. A high hydrostatic pressure forces the metal to ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

The two-step extrusion method was used to manufacture pipe-grade high density polyethylene (HDPE) material from recycled HDPE. With the two-step extrusion method, dicumyl peroxide (DCP) can completely ...

Consumers want more from plant-based meat alternatives, from taste to texture and affordability. Could understanding the extrusion process deliver on all three? After some years of rapid growth, the ...
