Manufacturing process
※This process is just one example, and the manufacturing methods vary by company.
To prevent polymerization and curing inside the equipment, excessive temperature rise must be suppressed, and equipment control in accordance with the processing throughput is also required. In addition, in consideration of the efficiency of the downstream process, it is preferable to discharge the material in sheet form.
The twin-screw continuous kneader "KRC Kneader" enables temperature control while producing products in the specified shape, by the following mechanical characteristics.
Product temperature is controlled by a jacketed barrel.
Kneading intensity is adjustable through paddle configuration and rotation speed.
Selecting the discharge configuration option enables discharge in the specified product shape.
