Production requirements of color masterbatches
The production of color masterbatches usually involves the use of multiple pigments and additives. Different pigments have different physical and chemical properties, such as density, particle size, heat resistance, etc. Therefore, how to evenly disperse these pigments in the polymer matrix to avoid problems such as agglomeration, color difference, and pigment degradation is the core difficulty of production. At the same time, in order to ensure product consistency, the color accuracy of masterbatches is required to be extremely high.
Working principle of Masterbatch Twin Screw Extrusion Pelletising Line
The core advantage of Masterbatch Twin Screw Extrusion Pelletising Line lies in its unique twin-screw structure. The two screws mesh with each other and rotate together, which can generate strong shear force and mixing action, thereby effectively mixing the pigments with the polymer matrix evenly.
Multi-stage feeding design and precise dispersion
The production of color masterbatches often requires a variety of pigments and additives, and different raw materials have different addition times and temperatures during processing. The Masterbatch Twin Screw Extrusion Pelletising Line uses a multi-section feed port design to add pigments and additives as needed at different stages of production. This not only effectively avoids overheating or degradation caused by premature addition of pigments, but also ensures that each pigment is introduced at the right temperature and time, thereby improving the uniformity of dispersion.
Accurate temperature control system
In the production of color masterbatches, temperature control has a direct impact on the mixing and dispersion of pigments. Too high a temperature may cause some pigments to decompose or lose color, affecting the color quality of the masterbatch. Too low a temperature will reduce the fluidity of the material and prevent the pigment from being fully dispersed. The Masterbatch Twin Screw Extrusion Pelletising Line uses a multi-section independent temperature control system to accurately control the temperature of each section according to the thermal stability of different pigments, ensuring that the entire process is within the temperature range. This can not only ensure the color stability of the pigment, but also improve the processing performance of the polymer.
Modular screw design and flexible adjustment
The modular screw design of the Masterbatch Twin Screw Extrusion Pelletising Line allows users to flexibly adjust the screw according to production needs. Different pigments and substrates have different requirements for shear force and mixing. The production line can adapt to the characteristics of different materials by replacing screw elements or adjusting screw configuration. For example, for highly filled pigments, the conveying capacity and shear strength of the screw can be increased; for easily decomposed pigments, the shearing effect can be reduced to protect the chemical structure of the pigment.
