For this purpose, different screw elements are used for dispersive and distributive mixing on a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Optimising the screw configuration requires precise knowledge of the screw elements’ mixing properties, which have not been thoroughly investigated. This study analyses the mixing behaviour of individual screw elements regarding dispersive and distributive mixing using 3D CFD flow simulations with subsequent particle tracking. For distributive mixing, the particle distribution behind the screw elements in the XY plane is analysed and the mixing index MQ, which relates the standard deviation and the mean value of the triangular areas between the particles, is calculated. For dispersive mixing, the maximum shear stress on the particle path and the integral of the shear stress over the residence time of each individual particle are determined. The results show that screw element geometry and rotation speed have a significant influence on dispersive and distributive mixing. In addition, better dispersive mixing is achievable with highly viscous materials. These findings enable the optimisation of the mixing zone of a co-rotating twin-screw extruder for the efficient mixing of mineral fillers."}],"volume":16,"author":[{"first_name":"Jan Philipp","last_name":"Oldemeier","full_name":"Oldemeier, Jan Philipp","id":"56781"},{"first_name":"Volker","last_name":"Schöppner","full_name":"Schöppner, Volker","id":"20530"}],"date_created":"2025-03-25T10:19:50Z","date_updated":"2025-03-27T12:56:35Z","doi":"10.3390/polym16212952","title":"Analysis of the Dispersive and Distributive Mixing Effect of Screw Elements on the Co-Rotating Twin-Screw Extruder with Particle Tracking","issue":"21","quality_controlled":"1","intvolume":"        16","citation":{"mla":"Oldemeier, Jan Philipp, and Volker Schöppner. “Analysis of the Dispersive and Distributive Mixing Effect of Screw Elements on the Co-Rotating Twin-Screw Extruder with Particle Tracking.” <i>Polymers</i>, vol. 16, no. 21, 2024, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3390/polym16212952\">10.3390/polym16212952</a>.","bibtex":"@article{Oldemeier_Schöppner_2024, title={Analysis of the Dispersive and Distributive Mixing Effect of Screw Elements on the Co-Rotating Twin-Screw Extruder with Particle Tracking}, volume={16}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3390/polym16212952\">10.3390/polym16212952</a>}, number={21}, journal={Polymers}, author={Oldemeier, Jan Philipp and Schöppner, Volker}, year={2024} }","short":"J.P.

Fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are mainly manufactured by injection molding and extrusion, whereby the extrusion compounding process is primarily used to produce fiber-filled granulates. Reproducible production of high-quality components requires a granulate in which the fiber length is even and high. However, the extrusion process leads to the fact that fiber breakages can occur during processing. To enable a significant quality enhancement, experimentally validated modeling is required. In this study, short glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics (polypropylene) were produced on two different twin-screw extruders. Therefore, the machine-specific process behavior is of major interest regarding its influence. First, the fiber length change after processing was determined by experimental investigations and then simulated with the SIGMA simulation software. By comparing the simulation and experimental tests, important insights could be gained and the effects on fiber lengths could be determined in advance. The resulting fiber lengths and distributions were different, not only for different screw configurations (SC), but also for the same screw configurations on different twin-screw extruders. This may have been due to manufacturer-specific tolerances.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["Polymers and Plastics","General Chemistry"]}]
