Get better plasticating of lubricated compounds.Self-lubricated plastic compounds reportedly can be processed more reliably and consistently with the new Lubrimelt plasticating unit from Battenfeld of America, West Warwick West Warwick (wôr`wĭk, –`ĭk), town (1990 pop. 29,268), Kent co., central R.I., on the Pawtuxet River; set off from Warwick and inc. 1913. Textile manufacturing remains a leading industry. West Warwick includes the village of River Point. , R.I. These low-friction compounds tend to process in a very narrow temperature range and require supplemental barrel heating to accomplish melting, Battenfeld says. High lubricity lu·bric·i·ty n. The quality or condition of being lubricious. [Late Latin l  bricit also makes it difficult to control material flow. Battenfeld's Lubrimelt plasticating unit has a barrel with grooves in the feed zone to control material transport. The feed zone also builds up high pressure, which makes metering adjustments in the melting zone possible even where wall slippage occurs. The screw also has a high L/D L/D Labor and Delivery L/D Lethal Dose L/D Lift/Drag (ratio) L/D Low Dynamic L/D Limiter/Discriminator L/D Loading / Discharging Rate (shipping) to provide sufficient shear and ensure melting. Lubrimelt is offered on Battenfeld's HM hydraulic modular machines of 143 to 4400 tons and TM toggle To alternate back and forth between two states. toggle - To change a bit from whatever state it is in to the other state; to change from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1. This comes from "toggle switches", such as standard light switches, though the word "toggle" actually refers to presses of 55 to 495 tons. Tel: (401) 823-0700, www.battenfeld.com |
