In a world that’s literally awash in plastic waste, it seems a pity to have to buy fresh rolls of plastic filament to feed our 3D-printers, only to have them generate yet more plastic waste. Breaking ...

New twin-screw extrusion methods accelerate plastic recycling, allowing for efficient mixing, degassing, and waste materials handling.

This transparent view of a parallel twin-screw extruder illustrates the structure of the basic hardware that accomplishes compounding and end product extrusion in one step without subjecting the ...

In the name of saving weight and pushing plastic, it’s nice to see continuous tweaks on 3D printer extruders from folks in their spare time. And to go where no extruder has gone before, [wayne dalton] ...

Machinery makers will feature their extruders for film, sheet, profiles, pipe and tubing at NPE2009, as well as the pumps, controls, upstream and downstream equipment. Addex Inc. (Booth N77063): Blown ...
