Do you know how PE thick sheet is extruded ?

1. Extrusion process characteristics

HDPE should use a non-venting single-screw extruder. Due to the large shrinkage in the material flow direction and the large degree of crystallinity, a higher barrel temperature and a lower die temperature are generally used. In the calender of HDPE sheet, care should be taken to prevent the occurrence of continuous and multi-layer wrapping accidents caused by excessively high temperature of the middle and upper rolls. In case of wrapping roller, stop immediately. Too low temperature of the bottom roll will cause the two sides to warp up, and too low temperature of the middle and top rolls will cause the two sides of the sheet to bend downwards.

LDPE sheet is easy to process, only need to control the temperature of the exit roll to be 88¡«98¡æ, then the temperature of the sheet will drop to 46¡«48¡æ when it enters the traction roller.

2. Raw material selection

Use LDPE resin with MFR of 0.3¡«2.0g/10min or HDPE resin with MFR of 0.1¡«1.0g/10min; it is best to adopt extrusion grade or extruded sheet grade resin.

If special-purpose PE boards and sheets are produced or dyeing is required, a small amount of antioxidants or crosslinking agents, foaming agents, and coloring agents need to be added. You can first mix the PE resin particles with turpentine or white oil dispersant, make the dispersant evenly spread on the resin surface, then add the additives to mix, let the additives adhere to the resin surface, and then add the extruder to extrude the board or sheet.

3. Equipment selection

The extrusion equipment usually uses a single screw extruder, the screw diameter is 90-120mm, the L/D is 25, and the screw geometric compression ratio is 3.5-4.0. The head is usually branched.
