2.1.1 Solid conveying mechanism

In the feed zone, the rheological behavior of the polymer, whether granulated or powdered, is similar to that of "sand", with a certain cohesion and angle of internal friction. In fact, experience shows that it is rapidly compacted by pressure and temperature, and then behaves like an almost indeformable, helical-shaped solid, sliding in the space between the screw and the sleeve. In fact, it is the forces of friction between the polymer, the sleeve and the...
