Folks,

Does anyone out there have practical experience with screw discharge extrusion from Z-Blade mixers?

I am currently working on a project where we would like to fill vacuum casting moulds directly from a Z-blade mixer. The material is a very viscous thermoplastic elastomer.

Our concerns are with the degradation of the material at the outlet between batches and the pressure being sufficient to fill the moulds.

Appreciate any help,

Speedy
