Single screw extrusion is one
of the core operations in polymer processing and is also a key
component in many other processing operations. The foremost goal of a
single screw extrusion process is to build pressure in a polymer melt
so that it can be extruded through a die or injected into a mold. Most
machines are plasticating: they bring in solids in pellet or powder
form and melt them as well as building pressure.The most complete and
up-to-date reference is probably:
