Notes:
Various solid conveying, melting, and metering theories developed for plasticating screw extrusions are reviewed. Some recommendations for improving the present melting theories are presented. It is pointed out that the overall performance of a screw extruder can be predicted only by combining the solid-conveying, melting and metering theories into a complete mathematical package because the three functions of a screw extruder depend on each other and cannot be separated. A suggestion is made on how to combine these three theories.
