Melting and Mixing are the two giant (meteoric) steps that take place inside the Extruder
Processing Zone (EPZ) of a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Enhancement of melting and
mixing is the key to achieve some extraordinary results. What remained an impossible task
so far in most of the difficult applications has now become manageable, thanks to this new
technology, invented by the author.
This article focuses on new technologies to achieve the desired enhancement and
advantages thereof. In this issue of Extruder Times, we also present the special features
of the recently launched OMEGA H CLASS. It has all the desired capabilities for
enhancement of Melting and Mixing in a TSE.
