Today's KNOWLEDGE Share PVC is one of the materials processors respect for a reason. It degrades easily. Heat and shear will start the degradation process, and once it begins it tends to accelerate. As PVC breaks down it releases hydrochloric acid (HCl), which then promotes further degradation in the material around it. Over time that leads to carbon deposits forming inside the screw and barrel. Anyone who has run PVC for extended periods will have seen the effects: • carbon build-up • black specks appearing during changeovers • instability after material transitions • screws needing to be pulled and manually cleaned Historically, many processors dealt with this by stripping down the machine. Effective, but time-consuming and expensive. PVC Purge was developed to deal with that specific problem. It works through a mechanical scrubbing action designed to remove carbon deposits from the screw and barrel without requiring a full strip-down. Used regularly, it helps keep the unit in a ...

But how does it actually work? 🔹 1. Material Selection – Thermoplastics such as ABS, PP, PET, and PEEK are commonly used. The choice of material depends on factors like durability, flexibility, and heat resistance. 🔹 2. Melting & Injection – The plastic pellets are heated until they reach a molten state and are then injected into a precision-engineered mold at high pressure. 🔹 3. Cooling & Solidification – The molten plastic rapidly cools inside the mold, taking its final shape. This cooling phase is crucial for ensuri...

One critical lesson is this: A new screw should be checked properly before installation — especially before installing it into a hot barrel. Why? Because a hot barrel has a slightly larger internal diameter due to thermal expansion. That can allow a screw with a small dimensional issue to slide in and appear acceptable during installation. But as the screw heats up, it also expands, and that small clearance may disappear. The result can be a screw bound inside the barrel and serious damage to the equipment. source : Polimerizze Technology

 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪𝗟𝗘𝗗𝗚𝗘 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 🔬 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗿 — 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 At first glance, looks like a simple black powder. But scientifically, it is not really a powder. What we see as powder is actually a complex fractal structure built from extremely small carbon particles. What actually exists inside carbon black Carbon black forms in a high-temperature furnace reactor where hydrocarbons decompose into carbon. During formation, tiny carbon particles are created. These particles are called primary particles. Typical size of a primary particle is only about 10–80 nanometers (about 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair). Step 1: Primary particles form Each primary particle is a small sphere of carbon. These particles are not free & separate. During formation they fuse together permanently. Step 2: Aggregates are created When primary particles fuse, they form a larger connected structure calle...
