The present invention relates to a twin-screw extruder that has a large kneading capacity for high-viscosity slurry-like mixtures containing solid fillers such as colorants, etc., and that generates only a small amount of heat from the materials during kneading.

点ては分配混合である。[Prior Art] Conventionally, an axle-screw extruder is known as an extruder equipped with a kneading section with protrusions to improve mixing ability. In this extruder, high viscosity materials laminarly mixed between screw threads are distributed and mixed when passing near protrusions provided on the surface of the kneading section. In this case, the flow of the high-viscosity material is laminar in terms of wood quality, and the phase interface created by the kneaded material and the cow is sheared along the flow direction between the screw threads, etc., and the phase interface is not divided. This is laminar mixing where only the interfacial area increases. Furthermore, distributive mixing is achieved in that the flow that encounters the protrusion in the kneading section with protrusions is divided into several branch streams, and after passing through the protrusion, the relative positions are exchanged before being merged again.

置形式に関するものである。In order to homogeneously knead the thermoplastic mixture, the protruding mixing part is provided near the tip of the screw where the material is in a molten state, that is, in the measuring part. Various types of screws with protrusions have been proposed for use in axle-screw extruders, but these mainly concern the shape and arrangement of the protrusions.

There are many installed. For example, at the Plastics Processing Research Institute (TKV) in West Germany, various arrangements of protrusions provided on the screw metering part of an axle-screw extruder have been tested to improve the melting of thermoplastics and the temperature of the material being kneaded.

)) Most of the stiffness gives high shear to the monthly charge and mainly promotes laminar mixing, whereas the protrusion
It has the characteristic of homogeneously mixing materials (distributive mixing) with a slight shear. Therefore, the kneading section with protrusions is indispensable in order to homogeneously knead materials that are susceptible to deterioration due to shear heat generated by laminar flow mixing, such as monthly ingredients containing vinyl chloride, food grade pastes, and the like. However, a single-screw extruder with this kneading section is used only when the materials to be kneaded are incompatible with each other and easily separate, or when the viscosity difference or density difference is large and easy to separate or agglomerate, or when the coloring material In order to obtain a sufficient kneading effect when solid fillers such as There was a problem that it had to be done. Furthermore, the use of a long screw increases the residence time of the material, and the shear heat generated by laminar flow mixing between screw threads increases, making it difficult to take advantage of the characteristics of the kneading section.

Two rotating screws are arranged in parallel so that their threads are close to each other with a slight gap, and the two screws are arranged so that the threads of one screw are located in the troughs of the other screw, respectively. Non-intermeshing or incompletely intermeshing twin screw extruders have been proposed, which are configured to rotate in different directions with a relative phase difference.

。[Means and effects for solving the problem] The present invention provides two rotary screws arranged in parallel in a barrel so that their screw threads are close to each other with a slight gap, and A non-meshing type or incompletely meshing type twin screw type in which the two screws are arranged so that they rotate in different directions with a relative phase difference such that the crest of one screw is opposed to the trough of the other screw. In an extruder, each screw is provided with a mixing part without a screw thread formed at intervals, and the kneading parts on different screws are arranged so as to have a relative phase difference. By arranging a large number of radial protrusions on the surface of the screw core in rows perpendicular to the screw axis direction, sufficient kneading is achieved while suppressing excessive heat generation of the material. This is what I am trying to do.

ある。FIG. 1 shows an example of a screw inside a twin-screw extruder according to the present invention. The left side of the figure is the material supply side, and the right side is the material extrusion side, and shows a part of the total screw length. Two screws 1.2 that continuously process high viscosity materials are installed in a barrel 3 that is equipped with a heater and can be controlled to a desired temperature. The inner bore of the barrel 3 has a spectacle-shaped profile as shown in the cross section of FIG. 2, and a screw 1.2 is inserted into each of the eight bores. A material supply port is provided near the left end of the barrel 3, and a material extrusion port is provided at the right end, but these are not shown in FIG. The material supplied from the material supply port is heated and plasticized as necessary, and is forced by the driving force of the screw toward the material extrusion port at the tip of the screw. The screws 1.2 each have a screw core 4, 5 and a screw thread 6, 7, and the kneading portions 8, 9 of each screw are not threaded. The cross-wire parts 8 on the screw 1 are provided at intervals from each other, and a screw thread part 10 is formed between adjacent cross-wire parts. screw 2
The relative arrangement of the crosstalk portion 9 and the threaded portion 11 located above is also the same.

に進んだ材料は再び効果的に層流混合される。In order to perform very effective kneading using the twin-screw extruder of the present invention, it is necessary to make sure that the material passes alternately through the screw thread section, which performs laminar flow mixing, and the protruded kneading section, which performs distributive mixing. must be placed in The material that first enters the screw thread is subjected to shear deformation along the barrel surface, and the phase interface created by the materials being kneaded gradually becomes oriented nearly parallel to the barrel surface, which slows down the rate of increase in the interfacial area. The efficiency of laminar mixing of materials decreases. However, since the material then enters the protruding kneading section where the phase interfaces are rearranged and rotated, the material exiting the kneading section and proceeding to the second threaded section is again effectively laminarly mixed. be done.

ることができる。By repeating such cycles, very effective kneading is achieved. In the twin-screw extruder invented by Kiyoshi, as the screw rotates, part of the material wrapped around the surface of the screw core advances on the surface of the same screw, and the other part moves from one screw to the other. do. The kneading sections on the same screw are spaced apart from each other, and screw threads are formed between adjacent kneading sections, so that the material traveling on the same screw is, for example, A in Fig. 1. -B→C-D→E→... It is possible to alternately pass through the screw thread part and the protruding cross-connection part in the order of -B→C-D→E→... In addition, the kneading sections on different screws are arranged with a relative phase difference (stagger), so that the kneading section on one screw always faces the threaded section on the other screw. Therefore, the fourth material moving from one screw to the other screw also crosses the screw thread part and the protruding wire in the order of, for example, B-4F-G-C → D-... in Figure 1. You can pass through the sections alternately.

.. Preferably, it is in the range of 0 times. If this length is shorter than 0.5 times the screw diameter, the material that has progressed from the kneading section to the thread will exit the thread before sufficient laminar mixing occurs, resulting in no effective mixing. not achieved.

練が達成されない。If this length is longer than 50 times the screw diameter, it will take a long time for the material to pass through the thread, and the phase interface of the material will be oriented almost parallel to the barrel surface near the end of the thread. Therefore, the efficiency of laminar flow mixing is significantly reduced and effective kneading cannot be achieved.

ー直径の025〜50倍の範囲にあることが好ましい。Regarding the relative arrangement of the protruding kneading parts on different screws, it is preferable that the relative phase difference (size of discrepancy) between the two is in the range of 025 to 50 times the screw diameter.

な混練が達成されない。If this relative phase difference is smaller than 0.25 times the screw diameter, the kneading zones on different screws are not far enough apart, and some of the material will flow from the mixing zone on one screw to the other. Y located on the second screw
It is not possible to apply the mulch directly to the kneading section and alternately pass through the screw thread section and the kneading section with protrusions. Furthermore, in areas where this relative phase difference is greater than 50 times the screw diameter, some of the material moves from the kneading section on one screw to the opposing threaded section on the other screw; Because the length of the screw thread in the screw axial direction is longer than 50 times the screw diameter, for the reasons already mentioned,
At the threaded portion, the efficiency of laminar flow mixing is significantly reduced and effective kneading is not achieved.

る距離15等により調節する。The greater the number of kneading sections provided on the screw, the better the kneading will be achieved; however, various conditions such as viscosity characteristics, required kneading degree, residence time, extrusion amount, screw driving force, etc. when kneading the materials should be considered. to determine the optimal number. The length of the kneading section in the screw axial direction is determined by the diameter of the protrusions 12, the number of protrusion rows 13 that one kneading section has, the distance between adjacent protrusion rows, the distance between adjacent protrusion rows, and the endmost protrusion row in one mixing section. Adjust by adjusting the distance 15 between the threaded end and the other end.

るからである。The diameters of the protrusions on the surface of the crosstalk part may be different from each other, and it is preferable that the diameters of the protrusions be less than 0.1 (Q) of the screw diameter.If the diameter of the protrusions is large, the viscosity when the material is divided may be different. This is because the resistance is large and unnecessary shear heat generation occurs.

配混合を行なうためには、突起どうしの間隔をある程度
確保しつつ、できるたり多数の突起をスクリュー軸方向
に垂直に並へることが重要であるからである。This is because, in order to perform effective distributive mixing without causing unnecessary shear heat generation, it is necessary to arrange as many protrusions as possible perpendicular to the screw axis direction while ensuring a certain distance between the protrusions. This is because it is important.

からである。The gap between the surface of the protrusion head and the inner surface of the barrel is 0.1 to 3.0 mm.
It is preferable that it is in the range of . This is because if it is less than 0.1 mm, the crystallinity of the material will increase unnecessarily due to a large shearing effect, and if it exceeds 3.0 mm, the proportion of material passing through the top of the protrusion will increase, making distributive mixing less efficient. Because it is not done well.

It is preferable to shorten the length of the cross-wire section in the screw axial direction by making it smaller than the number of rows. In such cases, it is possible to provide a large number of mixing parts for a limited screw length, which increases the chances that the NJ material passes alternately through the screw thread part and the kneading part with protrusions, resulting in very effective mixing. It is possible to do this.

It is preferable that the amount is less than twice that. Because,
In order to avoid unnecessary shear heat generation, it is necessary to ensure a certain distance between adjacent rows of projections, and the distance between adjacent rows of projections and the distance between the row of projections and the end of the screw thread should be determined by This is because the length of the screw in the axial direction must be determined so as not to be longer than necessary.
