Development of Large Scale Plastic Extrusions.
Abstract
This report details the development of an extrusion process and refers to a pallet for background. Utilizing a 3 1/2 inch extruder, structural shapes 2 1/4 inches thick by 101 inches wide by 9 feet in length were extruded. A significant advancement in the state-of-the-art of large scale polymer extrusions was accomplished in this program. Development effort to date has effectively shown that large scale extrusions of thermoplastics can be achieved. While feasibility has been proved, economic utilization of this technology will require further improvements to speed the extrusion process.
