Volume cost and important (filler mixing)

Image
Volume Cost and its importance in Plastic applications and woven sacks The Volume Cost of a Raw Material input is the purchase cost of a unit volume of the material. It is extremely important to understand the Volume cost of Polymers and its additives as it plays a key role in their selection for a particular application. Compounding Costs and its implications: Mineral fillers are fine particle Inorganic powders. The particles agglomerate due to Vaan Der Waal forces, and it is essential to break up these agglomerates to disperse the filler particles uniformly in the Polymer Matrix. This requires energy and is additional to the energy required for melt formation and mixing. The energy requirements and compounding cost depend on various factors, like the physical form of the polymer, whether it is polar or non polar, the type of filler, whether the filler is untreated or treated and processing behavior. Physical Form     • If the Polyme...

Problems and solutions in woven sack(raffia) tape plant

Image
PROBLEM  CAUSES  SOLUTIONS FILM PUNCTURE Hold up particle Change screen pack. Check Row Material Moisture. Check heat stability of master batch. GELES, HARD OR UNPLASTICIZED PROFILE Improper back pressure. Improper temp gradient. Moister in master batch. Change temp. Profile. Use fine wire mesh. Reduce die lip opening. Reduce adaptor flow area. Change screw geometry. Pre-dry master batch. D ENIER  VARIATION Extruder surging. Film thickness variation across width. Spacer thickness variation. Improper drive Performance. Refer problem III in general extrusion processing. Reduce throughput rate. Increase die volume. Adjust die lip. Check uniformity of die temp. Check spacer thickness. Use carbon steel blade. Check drive performance. Check temperature of orientation unit across width. Check flow velocity of hot air across width. TAPE BREAKAGE Excessive stretch ratio. Low orientation temp. Hold up particle in film. Very stiff film. Extruder surgin...

Woven sack (raffia) tape plant

Image
Woven Sack (Raffia)  - Raffia Plant Formula &calculations  Tape plant  like raffia  tape  stretching  plant  is an ideal plastic extrusion machinery for producing chemical bags, cement bags, rice bags, lamination fabrics and tarpaulin. This plastic extrusion equipment is used in high and quality generating plastic process to form a continuous profile from plastic raw material BELOW ARE THE FORMULAS USED IN THE PROCESSING :  Spacer Size (mm) =  (Stretching Ratio) ^1/2 x Width of Tape Stretching Ratio = ( Spacer Size/Tape Width )^2 Stretching Ratio = Stretching Godet Speed(Second godet) / holding Godet Speed(first godet) Production Kg/hr = Denier x Final Line Speed x No of Tapes x 60 / (9000x1000) Production Kg/hr = Denier x Final Line Speed x No of Tapes/ 150000 Elongation % = Tape Final Length - Initial Length x 100 / Final Length Tape Thickness Stretched = denier / (9000 x Tape Width x Density) Un-streched Tape Thickness = (Str...
