Many consumer products are packaged in tubes or bottles where product application involves pumping the product through a nozzle. Such products tend to be shear thinning products where the viscosity ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Earlier this year, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, announced that it took delivery of the second generation of its ShAPE, or Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, ...

Accurate prediction of breakthrough extruding force is very important for extrusion production, especially for the large-scale extrusion process, which directly affects the production costs and safety ...

Broomfield, Colorado-based Ball Corp. is launching a new impact-extruded aluminum bottle line it says “provides a circular solution to plastic pollution.” Available in different shapes and sizes, the ...
