Figure 1. These examples show the application of die design guidelines. Figure 1 illustrates applications of these guidelines to several different profiles. Figure 2. This is an example of a partition ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Medical device developer and manufacturer Arterex Medical Device Inc. has acquired Xponent Global Inc., a Hudson, Mass.-based medical tubing extrusion supplier, expanding its footprint in North ...
