N-Lamina Model of Extrusion Pressure of Non-Plug Flow Solid Conveying in Feeding Section by Single-Screw Extrusion Molding

Abstract

While extrusion molding with single-screw extruder, extrusion pressure comes into being from feeding section; it is one of the basic conditions to ensure that extrusion process can be carried on normally, in order to ensure molding process goes smoothly, it must meet the following requirement: extrusion pressure generated during the process must be sufficient. Therefore it has certain engineering significance to design structure of a single screw correctly that a mathematical model for formation of extrusion pressure during single-screw extrusion molding will have to be established. This paper conducted a research on theory of extrusion pressure when powder of pure UHMWPE resin is still in feeding section by molding in barrel of the single screw extruder specially designed for pure UHMWPE, and established a n-lamina model of powder materials or grain materials which is in feeding section and at the state of non-plug flow solid conveying, and it provided a method to calculate extrusion pressure of the n-lamina model, thus it enriched and perfected theory of single-screw extrusion molding.
