Sep 22 at 3:30 PM: Historical Perspective of the ZSK Twin Screw Extruder with a view to the Compounding line of 2030
Since 1957 the intermeshing co-rotating twin-screw extruder has been on the market and within the last decades this system has been modified with ever increasing torques, screw speeds, optimized materials and changing geometries, but the technology itself has always remained unchanged. The question that now arises - have the designers reached the end of the road, what optimization possibilities are still available to make the machines more efficient.
