This article analyzes the common causes of strand breakage in plastic pelletizing. It identifies external and internal impurities, poor plasticization, raw material inconsistencies, venting issues, and improper cooling or traction mismatch as key factors. Practical solutions are suggested, such as optimizing temperature, filtration, raw material compatibility, and venting efficiency to prevent strand breakage and ensure smooth pellet production.

This article outlines three key strategies to prevent oil bleeding in TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) products during high summer temperatures: selecting high-viscosity, high-flash-point white oil and optimizing the oil-filling process; adding surface-treated nano-silica to enhance molecular adsorption; and choosing high-molecular-weight SEBS or SEBS-SEPS blends to improve oil-locking performance. These methods help maintain product appearance, improve user experience, and ensure stable material performance under heat.

This article provides a comprehensive guide to the rotating blades used in pelletizers, covering their material types, tooth profile classifications, lifespan analysis, and proper maintenance methods. It explains the differences between blades used for underwater strand pelletizing and dry cutting, details key parameters of blade teeth, identifies common sharpening mistakes, and offers best practices for extending blade life and maintaining cutting efficiency. Proper full-profile grinding and maintaining original blade angles are emphasized to ensure optimal pellet production and blade durability.

This article discusses the value and feasibility of reusing recycled TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) shoe sole materials. It highlights the benefits of resource conservation, environmental protection, economic savings, and policy support. The article also explains why TPR materials are suitable for reuse, emphasizing their thermoplastic properties, adjustable physical performance, and strong chemical stability, which enable multiple cycles of recycling and reshaping without significant degradation in quality.

This article discusses the phenomenon of melt surging during TPE pelletizing, where molten material abnormally and excessively exits the die, causing unstable extrusion and affecting product quality. Key causes include improper temperature control, high screw speed, and unstable raw material quality. Solutions involve optimizing temperature and screw speed, maintaining equipment, ensuring raw material consistency, and following proper operating procedures.

This article outlines the differences in processes and production efficiency among various models of twin-screw extruders, classified by screw rotation direction, screw structure, intermeshing degree, purpose, and specification. It discusses the specific applications, characteristics, and production efficiencies of co-rotating and counter-rotating models, parallel and conical designs, and general-purpose versus specialized extruders. The article also highlights the factors affecting production efficiency, such as screw design, rotation speed, material properties, and process parameters, providing a comprehensive guide for selecting the right twin-screw extruder based on material, process, and production scale.
