PET—Polyethylene terephthalate is a standard resin material in life, divided into APET, RPET, and PETG.
PET features fatigue resistance, friction resistance, good dimensional stability, non-toxic, odorless, weather resistance, and chemical resistance.
PET applications: packaging foods such as fruits and vegetables, electronic packaging products, agricultural seedling trays, etc.
Generally, twin-screw processing of PET requires that the initial moisture content of the raw material be below 3000ppm, and this processing method can obtain a relatively ideal sheet quality.
At present, the Twin Screw Dyer-free Vented PET Sheet Extrusion Line launched by Suzhou Jwell can process flakes with a maximum initial water content of 5000ppm. Furthermore, the viscosity drop is controlled within 0.03 dl/g.
1. At present, various exhaust extruders are evacuated after the polymer is melted. Multiple exhaust ports can be set according to the needs, which can always reduce the water content and small molecular components to the desired level. This kind of design is suitable for processing those materials that are not sensitive to water (such as PS, ABS, etc.), but it is not ideal for PET.
Because water has a severe degradation effect on the PET melt, the PET exhaust extruder must have solid exhaust capability. As much water vapor as possible is drawn out of the barrel before the PET is melted, which is significantly different from the conventional design concept of exhaust extruder.
2. The PET melt exhaust must complete in the shortest possible time. Considering that the PET melt is most hydrolyzed in the first 5 minutes, the exhaust operation should not exceed 1 minute.
The longer the exhaust time of conventional materials, the better the exhaust effect, but this does not apply to PET.
3. While taking into account the output, the solid section of the PET exhaust extruder should be as long as possible. The screw groove should be as shallow as possible, which is conducive to the uniform heating of the PET slice and makes more water evaporate from the slice.
4. Under the premise of no feeding, the screw groove of the melt exhaust section should be as shallow as possible to reduce the diffusion path of bubbles in the melt.
At the same time, the viscosity of the PET melt is relatively small, and the bubbles located in it are easier to diffuse, which provides the possibility of rapid devolatilization in a short time.
5. The melting section and melt conveying area of the screw are designed with flexible threads to provide gentle shear for PET melting and giving, realize low-temperature extrusion, and avoid thermal degradation of PET.
According to the above design principles of PET exhaust extruder, Suzhou Jwell independently developed the PET-GWS120 single-screw exhaust extruder, which is dedicated to PET drying-free processing. The production test achieves the expected effect: the final sheet viscosity is reduced between 0.03 -0.05 dl/g, and the output can reach 500kg/h. Furthermore, compared with the conventional dry sheet production line, the electricity cost is reduced by 35%-50% on the original basis.
Suzhou JWELL develops the parallel twin screw extrusion line for PET sheet, this line equipped with degassing system, and no need drying and crystallizing unit. The extrusion line has the properties of low energy consumption, a simple production process, and easy maintenance. The segmented screw structure can reduce the viscosity loss of PET resin, the symmetrical and thin-wall calendar roller heighten the cooling effect and improve the capacity and sheet quality. Multi components dosing feeder can control the percentage of virgin material, recycling material, and master batch precisely, the sheet is widely used for the thermoforming packaging industry.
