Abstract

In this paper a model has been developed for the approximate evaluation of the temperature rise in the extrusion of filled plastic materials. The model developed in this paper considers the influence of thermal and rheological properties of extrudate, operating conditions of extrusion and geometry of screw channel on the temperature of extrudate. The optimal parameters of screw channel in terms of productivity and temperature build-up are discussed. The model was tested by experimental studies in which filled plastic material was produced using ground rubber tyre particles dispersed in LDPE. The agreement between the model prediction and the experimental data is discussed.
