In the production of gluten-free noodles by using a single screw extruder, cooking is done at two consecutive stages. Initially, dough formula steamed manually certain times and temperatures. During extrusion, pre-cooked re-cooked inside extruder barrel. The purpose this study was to evaluate properties noodle (color, texture profile) produced from different batches (batch 1 6) extruders (A: ca...

Barley flour and barley flour-pomace (tomato, grape) blends were extruded through a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of die temperature, screw speed, and pomace level on water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), degree of starch gelatinization, and in vitro starch digestibility using a response surface methodology. Th...

Thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TCE) and Polyoxymethylene (POM) filled polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) composite, reinforced with short glass fiber (SGF) and different shape microfillers such as short carbon fiber (SCF), silicon carbide (SiC) and alumina (Al2O3) were prepared by melt mixing method using twin screw extruder followed by injection moulding. Mechanical properties such as tensile...

In this study, the mechanical performances of neat Polyamide 6 (PA6) polymer, 20wt.% glass fiber reinforced PA6, and 8% SEBS elastomer with 20% PA6 composite were investigated. Composite materials first produced in form granules by using a twin-screw extruder. Later, test samples molded, accordance American Society Testing Materials (ASTM) standards, an injection molding technique. Mechanical p...

the growing interest in using natural fibers as reinforcing agents of polymer-based composites is mainly due to their advantages such as lower cost, lower density, ease of preparation, lower energy requirements for processing, biodegradability, wide availability and relative non-abrasiveness over traditional reinforcing fibers such as glass and carbon. in this study, wood-plastic composite (wpc...
