Over the past few years, many major developments have taken place in the raffia and woven packaging sector, including advances in resins, increased capabilities of extrusion lines and improvements in ...

In past columns, I've written about measurement of the key process variables in extrusion: Melt temperature, melt pressure and motor load . . . the vital signs. However, I shouldn't assume that all of ...

Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

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 ...

Wheat is a cereal crop used in many ready-to-eat products such as bread, noodles and cakes due to its favorable sensory qualities and processing properties. The extrusion process further enhances ...

Their range of laboratory and pilot melt spinning extrusion lines is ideally suited for both process and end product development of sustainable materials. With over 50 such pilot and laboratory ...

The hot melt extrusion (HME) process can be employed in the production of a wide range of pharmaceutical dosage forms, including capsules, tablets, lozenges and implants. HME is suitable for both ...
