agglomeration followed by pelleting is an efficient method to decrease transport costs and increase economic efficiency of composting municipal waste. the moisture content of compost is the most important parameter of the pellet making process for any type of manufacturing device. the experiments in this study were done at moisture contents of 35%, 45% and 50% at extruder shaft rotational speed...

an ultra-glide twin screw extruder is employed to allow the quick and easy removal of the screws from the fixed processing section within few seconds, probing the current degree of the melting state, the dispersive anddistributive processing steps and finally the level of morphology development along extruder screws. for morphological studies the molten samples, collected from different points ...

Over the past few years, the 3D printing industry has experienced remarkable innovation, making it possible for anyone with access to a computer, design software, and a good idea to become a manufacturer. Recently, relatively inexpensive 3D printers have come on the market and are being purchased by colleges, universities, and libraries. In this primer, we will describe a number of projects tha...

Liposome Extruder Purification (LEP) allows for the rapid purification of diverse liposome formulations using the same extrusion apparatus employed during liposome formation. The LEP process provides a means for purifying functionalized liposomes from non-conjugated drug or protein contaminants with >93% liposome recovery and >93% contaminant removal in a single step.

Support Vector Machines are gaining more and more acceptance thanks to their success in many real–world problems. We address in this work some issues related to their hardware implementations for identification and control of a thermal model of an extruder for injection molding process.
