Abstract

A new type of polymer processing machine, a centrifugal extruder, is introduced and its performance studied experimentally and analyzed theoretically. Calculations show that by means of appropriate choice of the geometrical parameters of the rotor drum and the rotor speed, the pressure of the solid polymer in the rotor drum can reach a value of several MPa. Theoretical analysis also shows that the most important factors influencing the solid conveying pressure in the rotor drum are the radius and slope angle of the rotor drum, the rotation speed of the rotor drum, the friction factor between the solid polymer and the drum surface, and the density of the polymer. An experimental rotor drum was designed in order to validate the mathematical model used for calculation of the solid conveying pressure in the rotor drum. The results of the experiments show good agreement with the theoretical predictions.
