Extrusion Screws for Thermoplastic Composites
e-Live™ Presentation
November 8, 2005
New York 11am / Los Angeles 8am/ London 4pm / Paris 5pm
(Presentation is scheduled to be one hour in length)
Abstract:
The use of various fillers and additives, which are compounded into thermoplastic resins, has become more and more prevalent in recent years in the plastics industry. The addition of fillers such as talc, mica, calcium carbonate and nanoclays can increase the stiffness and/or strength and the utilization of various plastics. These fillers have also had an effect on the performance and life of the equipment that processes them. This presentation will discuss some of the issues that these composites have on the screw design, plus screw and barrel wear.Presenter: Timothy Womer, Vice-President of Engineering & Technology, Xaloy, Inc.
Tim is a recognized authority in plastics technology and machinery with a brilliant career spanning more than 25 years. He has designed over 8,000 screws that have been used in all areas of single-screw plastication, such as extrusion, blow molding and injection molding.
Tim joined Xaloy with this company's acquisition of New Castle Industries in 2003. Earlier he served in leadership positions in engineering, research and development at Spirex Corporation, Conair, Inc. and NRM Corporation. For three years he was an independent consultant in plastics process engineering with major clients engaged in extrusion, blow molding and injection molding.
Tim Womer has presented many lectures for both colleges and businesses around the world in the area of screw design and plastic processing, in both extrusion and injection molding. He has presented technical papers at four annual technical conferences (ANTEC) of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and at conferences organized by the Wire Association and TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industries). Besides this, Tim is currently President-Elect of the Society of Plastics Engineers as well as a "Fellow of the Society."
