Barrier screw has a new angle.A new barrier screw design alters the profile of the barrier flight, which holds back unmelted plastic and allows melt over the flight into the melt channel. Typically the crest of a barrier flight is flat, which shears shears cutting instruments for the removal of wool—sheep shears, or for trimming the hooves of sheep and goats—hoof shears. hoof shears a rugged pair of shears like secateurs but with sharp-pointed blades. the melt as it flows over the crest.

This wedge-shaped region allows the melt to accelerate and stretch, causing elongational flow, with better mixing and less shear shear: see strength of materials.

The barrier section is relatively short and located toward the end of the melting zone, which Rauwendaal says eliminates plugging and surging. The first screw with the new barrier flight was built three years ago, and there are close to 100 now in production of sheet, film, profiles, and tubing. Rauwendaal notes that the CRD barrier screw works well with smooth-bore and grooved-feed extruders over 50-mm diam. and with high-viscosity materials.
