Abstract

PSE (Polygon Screw Element) is a new screw element, designed to meet the development of co-rotating twin-screw extruders toward high rotating speed and excellent mixing capability. In the present study, a three-dimensional flow field simulation of PSE element was carried out by the ANSYS FEM package. Pressure profile and shear stress profile were obtained. The mixing ability of PSE element was also analyzed. The simulation results of the flow field in PSE element were verified by experiments. It was found that the energy consumed in PSE element is smaller, whereas its mixing ability is better than the kneading block. Furthermore, PSE element is suitable for the fiberglass reinforced processing.
