Abstract

The quality of extruded polypropylene (PP) in the shape of wide sheets is influenced by several factors. If the process parameters are inadequate, the surface damages on the produced sheets might be such that the products must be recycled. In the paper the influence of different temperature profiles in the feed zone of a single screw extruder on the quality of polypropylene sheets has been analyzed. The goal of the analysis was to obtain increased mass flux with use a computer program package - Virtual Extrusion Laboratory.
