Machinery Design for Processing High Temperature Polymers, 1990 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings
Engineering polymers are the fastest growing group of polymers in the North American market with applications in the automative, electrical, construction, consumer and packaging industries. Innovative advances in the processing and application of these materials has made it necessary for machinery manufacturers to re-evaluate the design of conventional polymer processing equipment and cater to this growth oriented market. With a large percentage of these polymers requiring processing temperatures well above 700° F, the focus of the paper deals with the design modifications for processing polymers at temperatures up to 1000° F. Design changes as they pertain to the materials of construction, instrumentation, processing concerns, and operator safety are evaluated.
