Abstract
Analyses of solids conveying in single-screw machines often neglect the inf low property of polymer pellets into the first screw flights. At high speed s, the inflow can determine the throughput of the entire plasticating unit. There are various ways in which the mechanical engineer can influence the filling level in the screw channel and the specific throughout.
