Abstract

An experimental study is presented of the residence time distribution, the melting/fusion process, power consumption, melt temperature and blending in a Kobe Steel Nex-T continuous mixer. Attention is given both to phenomena occurring in the mixing chamber and the associated bottom extruder. The variables considered include throughput rate, rotor speed, exit orifice position and mixing chamber temperature.
