Engineering Plastics

Engineering Plastics calcium carbonate, talc, glass fiber, barite, kaolin etc. It can be produced with fillers and glass or carbon-fiber roving or scrap additives.

Areas of use: ski shoes, eccentric gear flywheels, lighting fixtures, mixer bodies, fans, coffee machines, small household appliances, valves, bearings, conveyor belt gears.

As a production process, it is used to recycle PET bottles or waste PA fiber carpet, to coat silicates by mixing them with PP or PA in the production of Nano-composites, and to remove 80% gas in polymer solutions. In addition, in the production of long fiber compounds, mixing wood powder into thermoplastic synthetics, adding micro hollow glass beads into PP, PA, etc., filtering molten PCs for optical applications, polymers that require high temperature preparation such as PEEK, max. These are new applications such as 40% moisture removal.

If we talk about an example application: Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene composite pipe called PPRC (Polypropylene Random CopolymerGFR-PPR) consists of three layers. Micron diameter and very short glass fiber reinforcements in the middle layer both increase the pressure performance of the pipe and reduce its thermal elongation. To produce the raw material of PPRC composite pipe, it is necessary to process Şişecam PP4, Bondyram 1001 and Borealis PPRC raw materials with Monomex extruder.

You can achieve high capacity and high efficiency production with the powerful monomex twin screw extruders you will use. With improved screw structures, you can make more profitable production by saving more electrical energy.

The sample screw sequence used in the production of 60% polycarbonate and 40% glass fiber in engineering plastics is as follows.

You can discuss your screw configurations with us to increase the profitability of production on your machines.
