STRUCTURE INTRODUCTION
This manual covered all usual spare parts; employer should consult exact equipment
specification.
Extruder consisted of motor, coupling, gear reducer, pressure system, heating and
cooling system, barrel temperature controlling system, feeding system, vacuum
system, base, and electrical controlling cabinet.
Main motor connecting with coupling, gear reducer output shaft connecting with
screw by key. The power is conveyed to processing material by screw, meanwhile the
heating-cooling system complement and discharge the necessary power to reach at
heat balance for material request.
See-figure(2-1).(2-2)
Fig.2-1 Outline dimensional drawing

Fig.2-3. Diagram of lifting
PAGE 10
Base
The base is welded out of construction steel that use of support motor, gear reducer,
and pressure system and other units. According to variant extruder, the vacuum
system may be located inside of base for grace, and may also located outside of base
for intensity. At the same time, it is convenient for installation. See-figure (2-3).
Main motor
According to employer’s request, we can equip main extruder with DC motor or AC
motor. The concrete configuration, please refer to motor manual. The main motor
fixed on base, droved gear reducer by coupling or belt.
Coupling
Coupling transmit the power from motor to gear reducer. For maintenance easily, we
equipped all of our product with international standard coupling.
Gear reducer
Usually, we adopted gear reducer to transmit instead of belt. Gear reducer has a
special lubricating system (at request, heat exchanger maybe chosen), which use to
force lubricating trust bearing and gear. Gear made of high intensity material, and
process with heat treatment and fine finishing.
Gear reducer output shaft and screw connected by spline, to transmit the required
torque.
Pressure system
Pressure system mainly consist of feeding barrel, screw, barrel and others such as
heater, cooling pipe or blower and so on.
Screw
The screw of our twin screw extruder are modular and each of screw sleeves. All screw element
made of high speed tool steel,HRC58-62.the screw has higher roughness of surface and
hardness.
Barrel
All barrel is made of #45 steel, with integral bimetallic linear from Shanghai Alpha
Machinery.The barrel is attached to the feed section at the drive end and floats in the
barrel support at the delivery end to allow for thermal expansion. With few exceptions,
the front barrel support is mounted to allow it to move forward for hood expansion. At
the same time, the barrel support is confined from moving sideways, upwards, or from
tipping. The barrel support is also held in place by the left and right hoods fastened to
the feed section assembly of the barrel. The aluminum cast heaters (bronze for high
temperature applications) are electrically operated and bolted to the barrel. The L/D
ratio of the extruder determines the number of heating zones and, therefore, the
number of heaters.
PAGE 11
There are two ways of cooling the extruder barrel: water-cooling and air-cooling.
Most of E.M.E Extruder Trade co. Ltd. extruders adopted water-cooling.
Die
At the customer’s various request, the die could be die for strands, air-cooling and
water-cooling hot cutting. There are two ways for the screen exchanging. One is the
model of manual exchange; the other is the model of hydraulic exchange.
Feeder
Feeder can be clarified into two types: single screw metering feeder and twin screw
metering feeder. The special material feeder equipped with stirring blade to prevent
from bridging.
According to employer’s request and to exclude the iron chip from entering the barrel.
The feeder can be equipped with magnetic rods to filter the impurity. Generally, the
hopper have a upper sight-glass and a lower sight-glass. Whenever shortage of
material occur, must re-feed material.
Gear reducer lubricating system

Gear reducer lubricating system use to lubricate the bearing and gear in the gear-case.
Variant extruder has different lubricating system. The method combined the splash
lubricating and thin oil lubricating is adopted. Lubricating system consists of oil pump,
motor, regulating valve, and condenser. Never use the cooling tower water to cool the
oil. The lower oil temperature would baffle the oil loop, and block the filter.
Fig.2-4. Lubricating oil system
Vacuum system
Vacuum system made up of discharge pot, vacuum pump, vacuum pot and some
valves. The suction degree can be adjusted by regulating valve.
PAGE 12
Temperature controlling device

Since this manual gives an overview to an extruder user who may have any one of
several model extruders manufactured by E.M.E Extruder Trade co. Ltd., a detailed
description of the heating and cooling system can be obtained by consulting the
instrumentation Manual for the temperature controllers of your particular model. All
bottoms of temperature controlling be integrated into the main electrical controlling
cabinet. The water in tank should be soft water. The electrical magnetic valves acted
accord with the temperature indicator.
The working process,
(1) The water pump compels the distilled water into the main cooling pipe.
(2) Whenever the controlling gauge sends a signal to turn on the electrical magnetic
valve, the distilled water flow into the pipe required cool water.
(3) The distilled water back to condenser by return-pipe and then flows into tank.
Electrical controlling cabinet

The electrical controlling cabinet function as a controller to control entire machine
electric components. According to employer’s request, the main extruder and
auxiliary electrical controlling cabinet is SIEMENS PLC controling. The operation
method is SIEMENS touch screen.
Electric control system:

Type:PLC and touch screen controling
Model of PLC:SIEMENS S7-1200 System PLC
Model of touch screen: SIEMENS TP-1200
Temperature control system:WEST mlc 9000 system temperature control modules

CHAPTER 4 SET UP
Unpacking
Carefully unpack the extruder and all other items. When removing the skids, the
extruder may be lifted by inserting steel rods through the holes at the bottom of the
base assembly(see Figure 8 lifting diagram). Lift it by means of a sling attached to
the rod ends.
NOTE: The extruder may be damaged by improper lifting. Never lift by the front
barrel flange or clamp.
Extruders on wheels or with movable parts (expansion) are secured by orange painted
shipping brackets. Be sure to remove all orange shipping brackets prior to operation.
After removing the extruder and all of its peripheral equipment from the packing
cases, thoroughly clean the inside of the barrel and the screw. The screw is packed
separately. The rust preventative that has been applied to the unit will either be
cosmoline or wax. Clean the unit with a non-flammable cleaning solvent.
Base
The extruder requires a firm base of at least six to eight inches of reinforced concrete.
This requirement may be greater with installation of larger and heavier machines.
A vibration-isolated type of reinforced concrete may be used where the required
thickness of concrete is poured just for the machines itself. This type of foundation is
especially practical for installations on old floors that don’t meet the above
requirement.
In cases where second story installation is unavoidable, E.M.E Extruder Trade co. Ltd.
strongly recommends that structural engineers be consulted to determine the stress
factors placed upon the building before the extruder is moved into place.
When the extruder arrives at the customer’s location, it is assumed that a floor plan
has already been decided upon and the appropriate preparations have been made for
the installation.
The floor plan should have been decided in advance in order to have obtained the
necessary dimensions for the mounting holes and the required clearances for removal
of piping for the stock screw at the drive end. It is very important that the customer
verifies that there are sufficient clearances when selecting a location for the machine.
Once made and implemented, the decision of a location is quite literally “locked in
concrete,” and it is a very expensive proposition if the wrong location is chosen.
E.M.E Extruder Trade co. Ltd. supplies to the customer a detailed drawing with the
necessary extruder mounting data and motor mounting data with each order.
When pouring a new foundation, a means must be provided for securing the extruder
to the floor. The recommended method is a “J” type bolt hooked around a pin or rod
fastened in the concrete or expandable anchors. Anchor bolts must be spaced in
accordance with the mounting dimensions on your floor plan drawing.
PAGE 17
When securing the extruder to an existing concrete floor, holes must be drilled in the
floor for the inserts to take 3/4 inch lag bolt location. When using anchor bolts, the
floor pressure plates must be placed over the bolts before lowering extruder onto the
plate.
Alignment and level instructions for extruders

The E.M.E Extruder Trade co. Ltd. extruder is a precision piece of machinery that will
give exceptional results if it is installed with patience and an understanding of the
proper handling procedures. There are two place should be leveled, one is base of
main motor, the other is base of main extruder. With the level on top of the screw, and
moving both front adjustments equally, raise or lower the barrel so that the support is
kept level.
When this procedure is completed, move the level back to the feed section and begin
the entire check once again, making small adjustments whenever necessary. YOU
WILL FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ALL POINTS TO AGREE EXACTLY WITH
ONE ANOTHER. When all points are within 0.005” per foot, the extruder is leveled
sufficiently.
Pipe connecting
a. It is recommended that use compressed air to blow the dust in the pipe off
before connecting.
b. According to the concerned diagram to connect. It is recommended that
equipped each inlet with a throttle valve, equipped general supply pipe with a
pressure indicator or a flow indicator.
c. Connecting component
① Condenser for gear-case
② Condenser for main extruder cooling
③ Vacuum pot
④ Tank
d. The vacuum outlet pipe should be special installation to avoid pollution.
Accessories
Install all necessary equipment to the extruder, such as the pressure transducer, and
other smaller items that may be included in the shipment.
Keep in mind that pressure transducers must be in place before the initial run.
Otherwise, leakage will develop.
Connect the water supply line to the pipe and check all pipe connections for water
leaks. Make certain that feed section and water cooling system valves are open during
the check.
Make a water connection from the drain pipe to either a waste disposal or a
PAGE 18
recirculating system, whichever the case may be.

If equipped with a E.M.E Extruder Trade co. Ltd. hopper, bolt it down to the feed
section.
Mounting of feeding system

a. Mount feeder valve
b. If equipped with magnetic rods, mount the magnetic rods
c. Mount hopper and stirring set
d. Make sure that feeding valve closed,
Mounting of vacuum system

a. According to the diagram (see foregoing fig) to connect
b. Make certain that the discharge pot and its pipe are smooth
c. Add proper water to vacuum pot with (approximate 2/3 total capacity)
d. Turn off all valves
Electrical
All internal wiring of the extruder has been made at the factory so the only electrical
connections to be made on the extruder are those which connect it to the electrical
control panel. (Refer to the schematic and wiring diagrams supplied with the extruder
and the control cabinet instructions).
NOTE: The thermocouple wires between the machine and the controller in the
cabinet must be shielded. The shielded wiring must be run through a separate conduit
independent of the power leads.
Make electrical connections between the motor and control cabinet in accordance
with the local electrical wiring codes.
PAGE 19
CHAPTER 5
START-UP AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
Introduction
This chapter describes the procedures to be followed when starting the extruder, both
for the first time after its installation and at the beginning of a shift after it has been
shut down for a period of time. Also included in this chapter are E.M.E Extruder
Trade co. Ltd.’s carefully compiled set of operational guidelines, which will be useful
once the extruder is on-line. Following the detailed description of the starting
procedures is a section on cleaning the extruder.
Before the actual start up procedures begin, the operator must verify that all
components are functioning as they should.
NOTE: Review Chapter SAFETY. STANDARDS. Have a grasp of what is required
for safe operation of the extruder.
Before any checks are made, the operator should verify that the extruder has been
leveled and that the cosmoline has been cleaned from the thrust flange and the barrel.
When performing this operation, wear rubber gloves to clean the cosmoline from the
extruder barrel, feed section, thrust shaft, feed opening, hopper, and flange with rags
soaked in petroleum solvent. Ventilate the room adequately and permit NO
SMOKING.
Pre-startup and check

Ensure that power is switched off at the external feed to the control cabinet and that
circuit breakers are switched off in the cabinet.
CAUTION: The extruder uses HIGH VOLTAGE. MAKE SURE THAT THE
POWER IS OFF BFORE OPENING THE CABINET DOOR. If any adjustments are
required within the cabinet, they must be done by a qualified electrician.
Open the cabinet door.
Ensure that all screw wire terminals are tight, and flat line lug shields are back in
place on incoming power circuit breaker before turning on the power.
Check for any loose or foreign material in cabinet and drive.
Measure AC voltage at top of the panel’s main circuit breaker for the appropriate
voltage.
Prior to putting the extruder into operation, it is necessary to perform several checks
to ensure that each component of the system functions properly. There are three areas
to be checked:
PAGE 20
1. Temperature controls
2. Blower motor rotation
3. Drive test
Using a voltmeter, check for grounded circuits and continuity in drive armature, field,
and tach in the panel and at the motor.
Temperature controls
Normally, temperature controls require adjustment and timing. Since this manual is
written to a generic model extruder, you must refer to the specifications pertinent to
your particular model in order to ascertain the correct steps to make the proper
adjustments. All heating wiring should be checked for grounded circuits. Make sure,
also, that heaters and coolers are coordinated.
Check for water flow and for proper solenoid operation. If the heating and cooling is
automatic, put controls in auto position and check that the cooling (air or water)
comes on when controller is set low.
NOTE: Do not run screw without polymer. When testing drive system, disengage the
screw from the thrust shaft with care. When withdrawing or reinserting screw from
the extruder, do not allow the shank end to drop into the breaker plate recess. Support
the reduced diameter section as it leaves the barrel, otherwise chipping of the barrel
liner may result.
Drive test
1. Never start-up motor without load.
2. Following manufacturer’s procedures, energize power at incoming power
circuit breaker.
3. Energize drive circuit breaker and check that the drive blower motor is
turning in the proper direction. Also check field voltage present with a
voltmeter.
4. Set speed potentiometer at zero and depress start (run on some models) button.
THE SCREW MUST NOT BE ENGAGED. Since the speed is at zero, the
motor will not rotate, but the main contact makes an audible sound as it pulls
in.
5. Turn speed potentiometer clockwise until the motor turns.
6. Check for the proper rotation of the gear-case thrust shaft. The proper rotation
is counterclockwise as the operator sights from the gearbox end of the
extruder (except for LEFT HAND Rubber extruders).
7. Turn the speed potentiometer to its maximum setting. Allow at least 25-30
seconds for the drive to accelerate.
8. Drive current limit is set to 100% according to the manufacturer’s set
procedures.
9. Depress the drive stop button.
10.Test function of the normal emergency stop (E-stop) buttons.
Initial startup
PAGE 21
While the extruder is stopped, reinstall the screw (see forgoing Chapter1, screw
installation, for detailed instructions on installing the screw.).
Close cabinet door and verify that it is closed.
Verify that the front of the barrel flange surface where the breaker plate sits has been
thoroughly cleaned of cosmoline.
Insert screens and breaker plate and mount the die if not already mounted
Verify that the electrical connections have been made between the die and the panel.
This includes both the power hookup and the thermocouple sensors.
Allow the extruder and die zones to reach the set point and stabilize.
Turn water supply on feed section and adjust flow to maintain a temperature of
approximately 65-85°F. Water flow should be just a trickle.

One quick check to test the temperature is to place a hand on the water feed jacket; if
it is warm to the touch, the temperature should be around 85°. After a half hour of
operation, readjust flow since the extrusion process will change the heat load.
Use the following checklist to verify that all necessary operations have been carried
out. These checks are second nature to an experienced operator so that they are
performed whenever starting an extruder.
CHECKLIST
1. Check oil level
2. If water cooled machine, check water level at sight gauge of water
reservoir.
3. Make sure clamp and bolts are tight in die and flange area. Check that all
pressure transducer openings not in use are plugged.
Check temperatures of barrel and die mount assembly.
Set speed potentiometer at 0.
Start drive.
Start auxiliary equipment, if applicable.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when checking the temperature of the die. The die
and barrel area is extremely hot and can cause serious burns when touched.
Close hopper slide and load hopper.
Turn potentiometer until drive reaches 5-10 rmp. Open hopper slide and allow
polymer to feed slowly through the entire extruder and die system. Carefully watch
pressures and drive amps during the initial filling of the system.
NOTE: Please review safety procedures in Chapter 2 before performing this
operation.
Increase screw speed to anticipated conditions. Allow all temperatures and conditions
to stabilize at anticipated operating conditions. Make sure that indicator is at 0 when
stopped. If it isn’t, have a qualified electrician zero and calibrate the RPM indicator
(potentiometer on back of meter ) to actual screw RPM.
Check that all temperature controllers are holding temperatures over an extended
period. If required, recalibrate the instrument (this procedure may vary for different
PAGE 22
models; check the manual of your model for the correct procedure).
If adjustments have been made by an electrician, verify that the cabinet door is closed
and the door interlock is in the closed position.
Your extruder is now ON-LINE.
Operational procedure
The section which follows presents a series of operational procedures compiled after
many years of experience and feedback from users of the E.M.E Extruder Trade co.
Ltd. extruder. It is strongly recommended that they be followed, since to do so will
certainly increase the efficiency of your operation. Using the proper procedures will
mean fewer breakdowns and less frequent replacement of parts.
1. When feeding the compound into the extruder, make certain that it is free of all
foreign materials.
2. Check both ends of the thermocouple leads at the barrel and the head frequently
and as a matter of routine. The sensing head is locked with a spring loaded,
bayonet type lock.
3. Checking the temperature of the return cooling water of the screw or feed
section should also be a matter of routine. Adjust the inlet water valves for the
desired cooling effect.
4. When removing or installing the stock screw, be careful; not to damage the
screw or the barrel. In particular, when physically extracting the screw, be
especially careful not to nick or damage the breaker plate recess, which usually
means irreparable damage (see the section on maintenance for a common trick
to avoid this occurrence.) ALWAYS clean the tapered end of the screw
thoroughly, removing any bumps of burrs and apply a coat of cosmoline
compound to the taper.
5. Always handle precision parts, such as breaker plates, with extreme care.
Damage to any of these items may result in pressure or compound leakage form
the extruder. NEVER CLEAN THESE PARTS WITH A STEEL TOOL.
Shutdown of the extruder

Routine shutdown periods such as overnight, between shifts and maintenance periods
are handled in the following way:
1 Close off the feed flow of the material and run out the compound that is in the
barrel.
2 As the load on the drive motor decreases, as indicated by the load ammeters,
stop the drive and shut off the temperature controls.
3 Shut off screw cooling
4 Heat sensitive materials (such as RPVC) should be run completely out of the
barrel. To do this, run the extruder with the heaters on until the barrel is empty.
5 Remove the head and run the screw at a moderate speed, approximately
25-30rpm, until material is not longer being discharged.
PAGE 23
(NOTE: If the screw squeals, reduce its speed).

6 When material ceases to flow, shut off the extruder and let the screw come to a
full stop.
7. After a two minute pause, run the extruder again to remove any remaining
material. Repeat this process until the barrel is empty. If, when the extruder is
shut off the screw comes to an abrupt stop, the extrudate has not been
completely removed from the barrel. Continue the process until screw RPMs
decrease gradually.
CAUTION: The water cooling system to the stock screw must be turned off for most
materials whenever the extruder is idle for more than a few minutes.
Cleaning
Since many parts of the extruder are made from tempered steel and are subject to
chipping and nicking, there are two don’ts to remember when cleaning the barrel
and die parts:
1. Never use steel tools to clean the extruder or any die parts.
2. Blow torches are NOT recommended to clean the compound from the extruder
since it is quite easy to anneal or warp the hardened parts. Torch cleaning can be
done, but it must be handled by experienced people.
Cleaning should take place as soon after the extruder is shut down as possible. The die
or head should be removed from the extruder while still hot. If more than one person
is involved in the cleaning operation, one person can remove the stock screw while
another cleans the other parts.
The barrel also should be cleaned with copper mesh cloth and/or barrel brush while
still hot. In many cases, special purging compounds can be used before removing the
screw.
The screw and other parts can be cleaned with copper mesh pads or brass wire
brushes and scrapers. To repeat the above warning, never use steel tools for this
purpose.
Rubbing beeswax into the tips or dies will seal the minute pores and aid cleaning. The
die surface can be protected against oxidation deposits by applying a thin film of
silicone mold release or a coating of petroleum jelly.

CHAPTER 6
EXTRUDER MAINTENANCE
Introduction
E.M.E Extruder Trade co. Ltd. designs and engineers its extruders to provide
maximum service with a minimum of production downtime. However, this ideal can
most effectively be realized only with the application of an aggressive maintenance
program which includes continual fine-tuning of individual extruders and the
scheduling of periodic downtime for preventive maintenance inspections.
Most experts agree that while even the best maintenance extruders suffer unforeseen
downtime, this problem can be minimized by anticipating machine troubles and doing
something about them before thy happen. Over time, increased vigilance will turn into
profits as productivity increase, product quality improves, and the life of the extruder
is lengthened. The key, say the experts, is constant surveillance.
The following chapter will endeavor to impart some of the maintenance know-how
E.M.E Extruder Trade co. Ltd. has accumulated over the years. First, there will be a
discussion of some general problems which are frequently overlooked, then specific
procedures for handling the extruder and its parts will be addressed. Finishing the
chapter will be two checklists which can be used by the customer in formulating his
own maintenance policies and procedures.
Know the trouble signs

Lubricating oil
Change the machine oil quarterly or every 1500 machine hours using the proper
lubrication oil(see Appendices A and AA for oil specifications). Always use the same
brand and grade of oil since additives used by oil manufacturers are nor necessarily
compatible.
When changing the oil, be sure to remove and inspect the residual sludge. Bronze
metal chips may indicate incipient thrust-bearing failure, while steel particles in the
spent oil may suggest a defectives radial bearing or gear teeth problems. Cast iron
powder indicates wear of a moving part against the interior of the gear-case.
Be on the lookout for oil leaks. Check near the gear-case windows, covers and
firings ,close to oil lines, seals, filters, pumps, and plugs.
Monitor also the temperature of bearing covers on the gearbox, paying particular
attention to the input, intermediate ,and thrust shaft radial bearings as well as the
PAGE 25
thrust housing . If surface areas are too hot to touch (about 140ºF),excessive friction
may be building up inside.
Learn to listen
Unusual noise may be symptomatic of machine trouble. Excessive noise from the
drive belts all indicate a worn part that will only cause additional damage if not
replaced promptly.
Drive motors
When checking AC motors for symptoms breakdown, be sure that only personnel
familiar with the electrical and mechanical hazards of such maintenance the
inspections and any necessary adjustments.
The primary symptoms of motor trouble are excessive noise, brush sparking,
discolored armature (chocolate brown is normal), high temperature, inadequate
exhaust air flow, and too much vibration.
Some extruder users simplify their inspections by installing an acrylic viewing port to
replace a steel brush cover, thus providing a valuable, inexpensive inspection access.
Be especially vigilant when checking for build up in the motor housing. If is poor, a
black sticky film can foil the motor and dampen motor efficiency or cause an are-over.
Evidence of this kind of contamination can be found on the exit part of the forced-air
passage and view port. The brush part of the motor should be cleaned. If necessary,
ventilate the motor housing with clean air.
Periodically check and replace worn brushes with exactly specified replacements,
making sure the commutator shows a thin bluish film around its circumference.
If new brushes do not solve sparking difficulties, it is likely that the motor is
overloading, electrical neutral is off, controls are malfunctioning, or the motor itself is
wired incorrectly.
The motor should be relubricated exactly according to the manufacturer’s,
Over-lubrication causes heat buildup and damages bearing.
Be sure the AC drive armature-cooling blower motor rotates in the right direction and
that the filter stays clean.
During the scheduled downtime with power off, verify that vibration has not worn
away any insulation over connections in the AC motor conduit box.
Replacement parts
Have the necessary spare parts in the stock room means the difference between
getting back into operation quickly or experiencing several days of lost production
time due to machine filters, it is a good idea to carry spare heaters, die and barrel
thermocouples, and solenoids. Die plugs, shear pins, and rupture disks also fall into
the required parts category as well as all commonly replaced house, seals ,and
gaskets.
Procedures for parts removal and replacement

PAGE 26
Before an official maintenance program is prepared, the following items should be

acknowledged and incorporated in the maintenance plan.
1. The water-cooled heater coolers bring the barrel to the desired operating
temperatures quickly and evenly. It is important that they contact the barrel over
the full diameter and length of each heater for uniform heat distribution.
The two halves of the aluminum heaters are fastened around the barrel and are
held together with steel bolts tightened to 765 lb./ft. torque when cold. The 8 inch
(203 mm) and larger series extruders should be tightened to 200 lb./ft. torque.
2. Any pressure gauge or transducer must return to zero reading when the machine is
stopped. Consult the gauge manufacturer’s maintenance instructions if reading
does not return to zero.
3. Check the screw and barrel bore diameters semi-annually to make certain that the
deviation from standard is within the operation limits.
Screw removal
Worn screws and barrels probably account for the largest productivity loss in an
extrusion operation. Regular removal, cleaning, and measurement of screw and barrel
dimensions, however, can increase output and limit energy consumption.
Some things to watch for when evaluating screw and barrel performance are gradual
loss of output per rpm over a period of time, excessive frictional heat buildup, and
possibly some problems with surging. It is important to encourage operators to make a
habit of checking the breaker plate pressure indicator frequently during operation,
verifying that the gauge fluctuates normally (between 200 and 400 psi during each
screw rotation). Changes in fluctuation usually spell trouble.
Watching for signs of trouble in screw and barrel performance is certainly important.
But the best way to gauge screw and barrel wear is by compiling a standardized
profile on each extruder on an annual basis by measuring output and overall
performance. Using the same resin, temperature profile, and die system (or running
into a bucket). Comparisons of screw output vs.rpm, pressure variations, and stock
temperature over time can accurately predict optimum screw replacement cycles.
Although it is not routinely done, measuring the barrel and screw annually is a wise
idea . Processors of highly filled or other abrasive compounds should consider even
more frequent screw removal and measurement to optimize extruder productivity.
In any event, the screw must be removed anyway when borescoping and leveling a
new installation.
Handling pressure transducers

Pressure transducers are delicate and highly sensitive instruments and must be
handled with great care at all times. The maximum movement of the pressure
diaphragm is only 0.003 inches for 10,000 psi pressure signal.
Unless a torque wrench is used, the transducer should only be installed hand tight.
Using a torque wrench, 42 inches/pound should not be exceeded. With a 100 lb./ft.
PAGE 27
torque wrench, this corresponds to a setting of 3.5. The wrench should be checked
against a spring balance to make certain that its calibration is correct.
The transducer should only be installed when the machine is cold.
To prevent binding and galling , the threads of the transducer should be coated with
copper or a graphite-based grease should always be used to prevent seizing .
The transducer should be removed from the extruder and cleaned while the polymer
in the extruder is still hot. Clean the sides of the transducer, but so not attempt to
remove any material with a cloth when the transducer is first removes from the
extruder.
Clean the hole into which the transducer fits thoroughly before the transducer is
installed.
Screw maintenance
After the screw removal procedures have been implemented successfully, the screw is
withdrawn slowly and carefully. As it is withdrawn, hand wire brush the flights,
channels, and any mixing pins or grooves.
Badly burned screws should be scrubbed with a copper scouring pad moistened with
motor oil and sprinkled with a non-chlorinated household scouring powder.
Cleaning the barrel requires a round steel-bristled flue brush that has the same
diameter as the barrel. This brush can be attaches to a long 1/4-or 1/2-inch pipe and be
driven by a heavy duty 1/2-inch drill.
It is a good idea to clean out the thrush shaft in the gear-case assembly into which the
butt end of the screw seats. Foreign material in this area will cause a screw to run
eccentrically and wear down the bushings, feed section, and barrel liner.
Lubricate this area with anti-seize compound before reinserting the screw. Remember
to use “pope dope” on the threads of the screw cooling is used to prevent water
seepage and rusting in the thrust pocket.
Cold maintenance
If for any reason an extruder is going to be in an area that has below freezing
temperatures, then water must be drained out of the system. This is done as follows.
Remove the inlet or outlet pipe compression fitting on the feed section and insert a
bent metal or plastic tube to siphon out the water from the bottom of the cored
chamber.
Do not leave the stock screw in place in cold weather with water still inside.
If the extruder is water-cooled, then all cast-in stainless steel tubing should be blown
out. Tanks, heat exchangers, manifold, etc. must be drained.

APPENDIX A
WATER REQUIREMENT
INTRODUCTION
The water available at most extruder plants can be of varied composition: city water,
well water, river water, demineralized water, distilled water. The distinctions between
them are not always fully appreciated by the plant maintenance staffs resulting in the
possibilities of harm to the extruder.
An extruder with a closed loop system requires distilled water. The use of anything
else will probably result in premature failure of the heater tubers due to a condition
described as chloride ion-induced stress corrosion.
The following discussion is provided as a means to understand the problems

associated with the use of anything other than distilled water in a closed loop system.
CHLORIDE ION
The chloride ion is the negatively charged half of such compounds as sodium chloride,
calcium chloride, or in aqueous solution, hydrochloric acid.
CHLORINE
Chloride is the naturally-occuring, stable, gaseous element that is used to purify most
city water. It has a neutral charge and has no association with any positively charged
ion.
DEMINERALIZED WATER
Usually city water or well water contains positively charged calcium and/or
magnesium ions. Their salts, being fairly insoluble, would form a scale on heat
exchanger surfaces. Water treated to replace the metallic ions whose salts are fairly
insoluble (hardness in water ) is called demineralized water. The insoluble salts are
replaced with metallic or positively charged ions whose salts are soluble by passing
PAGE 35
the water through a properly maintained ion-exchange bed which soaks up the
calcium and magnesium and replaces them with twice as many sodium ions. The
water is then said to be demineralized. However, although the process removes the
insoluble salts from the water, it also passes negatively-charged ions right on through
uncharged. Thus, chloride passes through the ion-exchange bed without being
absorbed and remains in the demineralized water ready to cause corrosion and
subsequent leakage.
If city water or well water is used in the extruder, a number of problems arise. To
begin with, demineralized water has chloride levels in the range of 10 ppm (parts per
million) in its natural state. But with the gradual evaporation of some of the water
during the extrusion process, salts are left behind, increasing the chloride ion
concentration two or three times or more. The combination of salt scaling and
chloride ion concentration results in cracked and split tubes, necessitating the
replacement of a heater. This situation is prevented by using distilled water only,
water that has the lowest practical level of chloride ion concentration.
DISTILLED WATER
Distilled water is water condensed from pure water vapor. Assuming no mechanical
residue from the equipment from which the vapor originated, there are no ions, either
positively or negatively charged, to cause problems. Neither are there salts which can
from scales on heat exchanger surfaces. What gasses do remain, such as nitrogen,
oxygen, or even a stable form of chlorine, do not create problems.
The cooling tubes in the heater-cooler are made of incolloy. This type of steel may
corrode and crack with exposure to three factors which must be present
simultaneously to cause damage: heat, stress, and aqueous chloride ion. There is no
way to eliminate heat in the extrusion process. There is also no way to eliminate stress
in the tubes. Therefore, the only alternative for the extruder owner is to eliminate the
chloride ion. He does this by using distilled water, whose chloride level is below 10
ppm in the system.
WATER MAINTENANCE
Water samples from the system should be analyzed after the first week of operation.
Thereafter, samples should be taken quarterly and then times according to experience.
New distilled water should be introduced into the system whenever the chloride ion
concentration in the sump exceeds 10 ppm.
