Hitachi Zosen Corp., Tokyo, has coupled a twin-screw extruder with an extrusion blow molding press to create a bottle-to-bottle recycling system for pet containers. A machine configured for multilayer ...

Many consumer products are packaged in tubes or bottles where product application involves pumping the product through a nozzle. Such products tend to be shear thinning products where the viscosity ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

Broomfield, Colorado-based Ball Corp. is launching a new impact-extruded aluminum bottle line it says “provides a circular solution to plastic pollution.” Available in different shapes and sizes, the ...

Earlier this year, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, announced that it took delivery of the second generation of its ShAPE, or Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, ...

Accurate prediction of breakthrough extruding force is very important for extrusion production, especially for the large-scale extrusion process, which directly affects the production costs and safety ...

The authors examine the influence of glass-transition temperature, melt viscosity, degradation temperature, and process settings. Hot-melt extrusion (HME) technology is prominent in the pharmaceutical ...

There are essentially three widely used technologies for manufacturing plastic products: Injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Injection molding is the most commonly used process for the ...
