Abstract
When optimizing the performance of plasticating units for injection-mo ulding machines, one attempts to increase the throughput rate and impr ove the melt quality at the same time. Given this conflict of objectiv es, technical progress is achieved if performance can be improved with out disadvantage to other characteristics. This is achieved by a recen tly developed barrier screw with a spiral shear zone and a diamond mix ing zone.
