WHY YOU NEED THE
POSI-MELT ™ PLASTICATING SCREW
Posi-Melt™ Multipurpose Screws
The Posi-Melt™ patented feed screw is a core change to the geometry of the antiquated general purpose “GP” screw technology developed in 1950s. The Posi-Melt’s™ unique flight design alters the flight pitch and root of the screw through the melting section making them un-tangential with each other disrupting laminar flow. The geometry increases plastic exposure to the barrel wall by up to 60% delivering a uniform homogenized melt. The Posi-Melt™ is the most versatile screw technology available in the industry today for delivering a high-quality melt at a low manufacturing cost. The design has succeeded processing resins from LCP to PC and Rigid PVC with diameters from 14mm through 240mm.
Posi-Melt™ XLA Mixing Screws
In order to add a higher degree of homogenization to the melt pool, we developed an especially effective dispersive mixer that works by forcing the polymer to change direction numerous times over a short axial distance. We also add extensional strain by forcing the material to cross over a shallower land multiple times for added shear. A positive pumping angle and major flight OD wiping action assures a low pressure drop for high throughput. It also pressurizes the channels, which promotes quick and effective melt purges during changeovers.
Posi-Melt™ MB Barrier Screws
Our proprietary MB barrier design forces the polymer between the barrier flight and the inside of the barrel. This causes additional extensional strain to ensure complete melting. We can couple the XLA mixer to the MB barrier for processing a variety of polymer groups, including PP, HDPE, LDPE, PS, PET, ABS as well as many others. All Posi-Melt™ screws are precisely designed to promote the best possible solids conveying and pressurizing so the polymer is transferred properly through the transition and metering zones. Special care is taken to design-in the appropriate leading and trailing edge radii to avoid low-velocity sections in the channel and to maximize pressure. The benefits of Posi-Melt™ screw designs include: -Quicker color and material changeovers – Posi-Melt™ MB single channel design results in better and quicker purging. -Lower cost – Posi-Melt™ MB single channel design is less costly to manufacture. -Complete pressurization throughout for excellent conveying, melting, and pumping.
