Pelletization Quality Simulation for Operation Uncertainty of Die-Plate Based on Liquid-Solid-Liquid Coupling Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

As an important component of large-scale extruder system for polymer material, Die-plate can be regarded as the final determinant for pelletization quality. Flow fluctuation of extruder and die-hole blocking can be summarized as two uncertainties for pelletization quality problem. A Liquid-Solid-Liquid coupling FEM method is presented to simulate factors of temperature distribution, flow distribution and flow rate control. Based on the calculations and mechanism analysis, pelletization quality degree and assessment framework are designed and calculated to analyze the impact of operation uncertainties to final product. With the simulation and evaluation framework, control methods for pelletization quality are discussed for Die-plate design and operation condition settings.
