S. Pahlke et al., What barrier screws can achieve - Comparison of different screw design forinjection moulding polyolefins, KUNSTST-P E, 90(5), 2000, pp. 54
Plasticizing systems with standard screws continue to cover a very wide ran
ge of applications in injection moulding. Nevertheless, in melting engineer
ing plastics or for high outputs with polyolefins, they still come up again
st their limits. For such cases, special screws and high performance screws
are available. The performance of barrier screws, in particular, has consi
derably increased.
