In the plastics industry, twin screws are at the very heart of the extrusion process that transforms raw materials into rigid PVC pipe or profile. These highly engineered components are integral to ...

Perform material- and labor-effective extrusion with Thermo Scientific™ Pharma 11 Twin-screw Extruder, which requires only a small amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient, operating at throughput ...

Top screw speed is the top motor speed divided by the reduction ratio, which is determined by the gear box and (sometimes) pulley sets. In most extruders it is somewhere around 100 rpm. One exception ...

New twin-screw extrusion methods accelerate plastic recycling, allowing for efficient mixing, degassing, and waste materials handling.

As new analytical technologies advance, insight into the twin-screw granulation process is growing. The range of applications for twin-screw extruders as pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment—either ...
