The Xaloy Stratablend® II mixer screw is designed for intensive chaotic and distributive mixing in molding and extrusion applications, but with low shear and little or no temperature rise.
Features
- Unique, proprietary screw geometry for highly effective mixing
- Cut-through melt channels allowing backflow for chaotic mixing effects
Applications
- Extrusion of most thermoplastics, including shear-sensitive polymers
- Processing materials with color and additive concentrates, fiber reinforcements and/or fillers, including nanoclays
- Engineering plastics
- Compounding of natural polymers with colorants, additives, reinforcements, and fillers
- Improved color uniformity
- Enhanced effects of additives, fillers and reinforcements on product properties
- Debundled glass fibers with minimal breakage
- Homogenized melt temperature
- Faster material/color changeover due to self-cleaning action
