When choosing the right head and die for your extruder in industrial settings, selecting a well-suited connection type—such as a camlock head—is essential to ensure safe, reliable and effective ...

Guill Tool & Engineering has developed a reciprocal tubing die design. Unique features eliminate the need to weld or otherwise join sections with different profiles together. Traditional tip-and-die ...

Twin-screw granulation process insight is growing as researchers employ new analytical technologies and investigate new ways to use the equipment. The range of applications for twin-screw extruders as ...

Atlanta — The plastics materials sector is responding to today's stronger-than-ever "green" momentum by developing bioplastics and beefing up recycled content, both mechanical and chemical. And ...

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 ...

Wet granulation is a size-enlargement process in which a liquid is used to achieve the agglomeration of solid particles. Agglomeration improves particles' tableting properties by rendering them ...

Extrusion is a process used for creating a product (an extrudate) by forcing a material through a die or an orifice to form a shape, or alternatively an extruder is used to produce semi-finished or ...

Planet Earth is spinning at a rate of 0.0007 rpm. Easy to calculate: One revolution per day, divided by 24 to get revs/hr and then by 60 to get revs/min = rpm. As for linear speed, it depends on where ...

A lot of great ideas happen in the middle of the night, and for [Werner] it’s no different. One night he came up with an idea for a new 3D printer extruder, and after a very basic prototype, we’d have ...
