6 | MRS Extruder

DesignMrs eXtruder

The polymer melt is delivered into a large single

screw drum. The drum contains 8 small extruder

barrels, parallel to the main screw axis. Installed

in these small extruder barrels are the „satellite“

screws, which are driven by a ring gear in the main

barrel.

The satellite screws rotate in the opposite direction

to the main screw while they rotate around the

screw axis.

This disproportionately increases the surface area

exchange of the polymer melt. The extruder barrels

which are cut into the drum of the Multi Rotation

System are approximately 30% open to ensure the

optimum melt transfer into the barrels, so that the

devolatilization can take place without restrictions.

Further, precise control of the melt temperature is

possible as the temperatures of all the surfaces in

contact with the melt can be controlled accurately.

High Performance DevolatilizationMrs eXtruder

Thanks to its Multi Rotation Element, the

surface area – and the surface area exchange

rate – available for devolatilization are far

greater than in other extrusion systems

available on the market. The surface area of

the steel parts in contact with the melt is

exchanged at a rate of more than 25 times

greater than with a co-rotating twin screw

extruder. Due to the opposite rotation

direction and high speed of the satellite

screws, the polymer surface area is increased

by a factor of 100 compared to a single screw

extruder and a factor of 40 compared to a twin

screw extruder. The devolatilizing

performance of the MRS extruder

can be summarized as follows:

The advantages of Rotary Filtration Systems

Overview of Gneuss Melt Filtration Systems

The lines below the Rotary Disks show the pressure curves in operation.

Filtration Systems | 11

The control system reacts to this pressure

increase and makes the filter disk index by 1-2

angular degrees. Thus, contaminated screen area

is continuously moved out of the melt channel

and clean screen area is moved into the melt

channel without changing the active filter area.

Due to this mode of operation, the filtration system

operates process- and pressure-constantly. The

variation of the pressure differential across the filter

( p) amounts to max. 2 bar.

The Rotary Filtration System explainedExample: RSFgenius

• A high pressure, sequential back flushing

systems cleans the contaminated screen

packs before they re-enter the melt channel.

• Polymer from the clean (filtered) side of the

screen changer is siphoned into a hydraulically

operated piston that shot with 30 to 80 bar

across the filter element (in the reverse direction).

• Only one small segment (approx. 1 % of

the filtration area) is cleaned at a time,

with a defined, high pressure impulse.

The self-cleaning (backflushing) system

Rotary Filtration Systems consist of three main

parts – an inlet block, an outlet block and a filter

disk rotating between them. The system is sealed

by a metal to metal sealing with very narrow gaps

as well as very hard and flat surfaces. It is guaran-

teed that all components in contact with melt are

not in contact with the environment (e. g. oxygen).

The screen elements are located in a ring pattern

on the filter disk, moving through the melt

channel. When melt flows through the screen,

hard particles get caught and the differential

pressure increases slightly.

The Gneuss Online Viscometer offers precise

measurements of those polymer properties

which have a decisive influence on the product

quality. The measured viscosity is in direct

relationship to the physical properties of the

material such as tensile strength and impact

resistance. Quality assurance can be improved

through the monitoring and recording of this

data.

By means of a high precision metering gear

pump, a small part of the polymer melt is

separated from the main melt channel. This is

pumped through a precisely manufactured slot

capillary.

VIS | 13

Pressure Transducer

Melt Pressure transducers used in plastics proces-

sing operate using the principle of a medium to

transfer the pressure from the hot environment to

the sensitive measurement electronics. A dia-

phragm in contact with the polymer melt deforms

due to the melt pressure. This deformation forces

a liquid in a capillary to transfer the pressure to a

second diaphragm, equipped with a Wheatstone

bridge sensor, which translates deformation into

an electric signal. The liquid medium in the capil-

lary is typically mercury; however the use of these

sensors in the manufacture of food packaging is

not permitted. The Gneuss sensors on the other

Melt Temperature Sensor

The Gneuss TF range of Melt Temperature Sen-

sors is ideal for the exact measurement of highly

sensitive media. The ceramic insulation guarantees

a direct measurement of the melt temperature at

all times, independent of the temperature of the

surrounding steel components, such as a flange

barrel or die.

replacement of mercury with an environmentally

safe substitute medium, melt pressure measu-

rements with

the required

accuracy can

be obtained

in all applica-

tions, including

materials.

Both the melt temperature and the melt pressure

(measurement in 2 positions) are monitored. Based

on internal calculations, the Online Viscometer

calculates a value for the representative shear rate

and the corresponding representative viscosity.

The depth of the capillary slot is specified accor-

ding to the material properties within a range of

0.5 to 2.0 mm. The unit is supplied complete with

a precision metering pump, its drive, melt pressu-

re transducers, melt temperature sensor, heater

elements and the complete evaluation and control

software and hardware package. The control

elements can of course also be integrated into a

process control system.

14 | Vacuum

VacuuM technology

The vacuum system is the key to the whole devola-

tilization process. Not only is it important to create

a vacuum – the separation of solid particles from

the volatiles which are extracted from the material

presents a particular challenge. Many extruders

require an absolute pressure of < 5 mbar, using dry

vane vacuum pumps.

During the devolatilization of polymers, it is ine-

vitable that monomers, oligomers and other solid

particles or sublimates are sucked out. If these

enter the pump, they will drastically reduce its ope-

rating life and for this reason, separating systems

are needed which under tough industrial operating

conditions are extremely maintenance intensive.

Advantages of the MRS vacuum system:

• Handles liquids, vapor and solid particles

• Isothermal compression

(no contamination during condensation)

• Oil free compression

(no contamination during condensation)

• Simple design with water ring pump and

belt filter

• Robust and not sensitive to blocking of

suction and pressure pipes

• Standard vacuum level of 25 mbar

(Water ring pump technology),

special solutions for 1mbar

Thanks to its extremely high surface area exchange

rate, the MRS extruder can in most cases provide

excellent devolatilization with a vacuum of only

30 mbar. This permits the use of much simpler

and less sensitive water ring pumps which create a

vacuum using a rotating impeller, mounted eccen-

trically to the liquid ring.

The liquid in circulation can be passed over a belt

filter under atmospheric conditions. In this way,

the maintenance of the system can be reduced to

an absolute minimum.

The circulating fluid is heated through the process.

In order to avoid an increase in the steam pressure,

the liquid is pumped through a heat exchanger

where it is kept at a steady temperature of around

10°C. The intelligent design permits simple

cleaning of the heat exchanger while the system is

operating.

The control system is a key element in any extrusion line. Today, a control system is expected to

link all the line components together in an efficient and operator friendly central system.

16 | Control

control technologyThe MRS control system

Gneuss developed the MRS control system in order

to take effective advantage of all the measurement

data and set points provided. The various line com-

ponents are linked together by the control system

to a central operating system. Changes in the pro-

cess are identified immediately and if necessary, can

be corrected. The production data is stored for later

diagnosis or documentation and is processed by

the control system to trends with history function.

Most extruder operators will find that working with

the lean, user- friendly operating system is intuitive

with little need for explanation. Only a few clicks

on the touchscreen monitor are necessary to get

the line into production.

The standard control system hard- and software

supports the following line components:

• Heater controls for the complete line

• Extruder drive

• Melt pump drive

• All melt pressure measurements

• Vacuum system

• Online Viscometer

• Rotary Melt Filtration System

• Dosing

• Pelletizer

Control | 17

The individual integration of the interfaces and

Bus systems permits the communication of control

systems from various suppliers. The data transfer

within the MRS control system is divided into 3

Bus systems.

The measurements on the extruder are gathered

centrally and are transferred to the PLC via CanBus

or Profibus. In this way, only two data cables

are necessary, instead of the conventional cable

bundle.

This technology keeps the level of installation and

maintenance to a minimum. The communication

within the control cabinet is handled by the Profi-

bus DP protocol.

The MRS can be supplied with a telemaintenance

facility via the internet. The telemaintenance client

is integrated in the customer network and when

required, connects with the Gneuss server. In this

way, the security of the customer’s network is

protected.

• Designed according to EN1114 -1

• Two redundant sensors 4…20 mA, to

Throughout the world, the requirements on

plastics processing and rubber machinery with

regard to safety protection against over pressure

are increasing.

With Gneuss‘ safety system EPM, the use of

stretch bolts, fail safe components, rupture discs

or movement sensors can be avoided.

Extruders, melt pumps or components which

are under pressure can be protected against

excess pressure by the EPM safety system, with a

duplicated and monitored pressure measurement.

18 | Sheet

sheet ManufactureApplication case example

MRS extruders are in use throughout the world

on PET thermoforming sheet lines. A typical case

example is a line for the processing of PET with the

MRS 130 at a throughput rate of 1,000 kg/h. The

main application of this line is the manufacture of

sheet for subsequent thermoforming to containers

for packaging fruit. The MRS extruder plasticizes

and devolatizes the material, the RSFgenius filters

Gneuss´ Processing Technology is already well proven worldwide. The energy intensive and

therefore costly step of pre-drying and crystallization of the material can be eliminated, when

manufacturing PET sheet for thermoforming with the MRS extruder.

the material (at a fineness of 56 to 75 microns).

The Online Viscometer VIS measures the viscosity

immediately upstream of the die and controls the

vacuum pump at the devolatilizing section of the

extruder in order to maintain the viscosity within

a narrow range. The quality of the sheet and also

the sheet thickness are maintained at a consistent

level.

An MRS 110 extruder was supplied for a PET ther-

moforming sheet line for packaging containers. It

replaced a single screw extruder with pre-drying,

saving 25 % of the footprint and 15 to 25 % of

the energy due to the MRS not needing pre-dried

or crystallized material. Additional benefits are the

increased flexibility with regard to the raw material

used, color changes etc. thanks to the elimination

of pre-drying and crystallization.

On this line, a mix of reground skeletal waste, bot-

tle flake and virgin material is processed, with no

pre-drying and with simple vacuum technology,

without gas purification and without the corres-

ponding high maintenance requirements.

Analysis by the Fraunhofer Institute have shown

that the MRS concept not only does an excellent

job of devolatilizing with regard to extracting the

moisture from PET, but it also removes harmful

volatiles efficiently, for example from post

consumer PET bottle flakes.

The MRS extrusion concept is therefore able to

process 100 % PET bottle flakes for products with

food contact.

Bottle to Bottle recyclingApplication case example

The MRS extruder processes PET bottle flake

without drying or other pre-treatment directly into

pellet or sheet. The polymer surface is rapidly and

intensively renewed in the Multi Rotation System

in the extruder, providing excellent decontamina-

tion even with a moderate vacuum of 25 to 40

mbar and with a limited, controlled IV drop. The

material is processed gently so that the final pro-

duct has a high quality with regard to the yellow

value, for example.

Thanks to its excellent and unique performance characteristics, the MRS also lends itself to the

processing of PET bottle flakes to bottle grade chip.

Early 2010 a “Letter of Non Objection“ (LNO) was

issued by the American Food and Drug Administ-

ration (FDA) for Gneuss‘ bottle to bottle recycling

process. The FDA LNO is for up to 100 % recycled

material and means that the entire chip manufactu-

red on this process can be used for food containers

of any kind in the USA, regardless as to whether

the containers are for cold or hot fill applications.

The bottle to bottle recycling process consists of

the MRS extruder, a fully automatic Rotary Filtration

System and a short solid state polymerization (SSP)

in order to lift the IV to 0.8 or higher.

20 | Fiber

fiBer ManufactureApplication case example

Many synthetic fiber manufacturers throughout

the world have already chosen the MRS extrusion

system from Gneuss.

One of these is a Brazilian company which uses two

MRS extruders to produce bicomponent staple fiber

with two extruders: an MRS 130 for the main com-

ponent with a throughput rate of up to 900 kg/h

and an MRS 110 for the second component with

a throughput rate of up to 500 kg/h. Both are fed

with the same undried post-consumer PET bottle

flake material and extrude the PET with different

IVs on each extruder.

Silon s.r.o. is another leading Eastern European

manufacturer of staple fibres. Silon also operates an

MRS extruder: an MRS 130 with vacuum, melt filter

RSFgenius 200 and gear pump. The MRS 130 re-

placed a conventional single screw extruder, dispen-

sing with pre-drying of the material. It was possible to

increase the production capacity by 30 %. Thanks to

the Multi Rotation System MRS extruder pre-drying or

crystalliztation can be eleminated and flakes with a re-

sidual moisture level of as high as 2 % are processed.

For fiber manufacturing the unique multiple screw extruder can supply a high quality melt from

quality reclaim. 100 % recycled content can be used, resources are saved, energy use is mini-

mized and raw material costs are reduced.

The Belarussian company, Mogilevkhimvolokno is

another Eastern European manufacturer of staple

fiber and also decided to use the MRS extruder.

Mogilevkhimvolokno manufactures a wide range of

staple fiber including bicomponent fiber with a low

melting point and an IV value of 0,55 to industrial

quality fiber with an IV of up to 0,9.

When manufacturing these fibers, production waste

of all types is created, some including spin finishing

oils. In order to recycle this wide range of waste, an

MRS 90 extruder from Gneuss was installed which

is used to devolatilize the undried material and to

glycolyse the material to a uniform IV before it is

filtered and pumped into the final reactor (finisher)

where polycondensation takes place. This process

permits recycling of practically all the production

waste and the quality of the fiber manufactured with

this recycled content is practically no different to that

of fiber manufactured using virgin material.

Polyester straPPing taPes Application case example

The MRS Extrusion technology was installed in a

line for strapping tape from the Italian manufac-

turer SIMA GROUP SRL., processing 100 % of non

dried post consumer bottle flakes. There is only a

small amount of PE based additive used for impact

modifying (splicing inhibitor) of 1.2%, which is

normal to be used in strapping applications.

The throughput of the line is around 350 to 400

kg/h.

By avoiding the need for crystallizing and drying and with the use of a simple vacuum system,

the MRS extruder permits energy savings of approx. 20 % and thanks to its compact design

requires 12 % less space in the factory.

The die head contains 3 gear pumps producing 6

tapes with a dimension of 12.5 mm wide x 0.65

mm to 0.8 mm thick. Stretching ratio is around 1

to 8 and the haul off speed is up to 120 m/min.

Strapping tape / PE/PP recycling | 21

Pe/PP recycling

The MRS devolatilization concept can not only remove water vapor from the melt efficiently; it is

also an efficient system for the removal of harmful or unwanted volatiles from the polymer melt.

Heavily contaminated materials can therefore be reprocessed with a drastic reduction in odor.

A manufacturer of film for packaging processes

scrap printed LDPE blown film to carrier bags.

As this film had been previously used for packing

fish, it had assumed an unpleasant odor.

It was previously necessary to use a mixture of

6 % washed „fish“ film waste with 94 % virgin

material to reduce the odor problem. Thanks

to the MRS extruder it is possible to add 40%

recycled material instead of the previous 6%.

The efficiency of the MRS technology was also

proven in the manufacture of PP recycled com-

pounds for the automotive industry. This work was

carried out together with the Fraunhofer Institute

in Pfinztal (Germany) which proved the results

using themal desorption analysis. A large propor-

tion of the volatiles are extracted from the polymer.

The residual volatile level is 22 % at 50 mbar and

only 10 % at 20 mbar.

Application case example

In many polymerization processes, it is necessary

to remove residual monomers after polymerizati-

on. In most cases, in a complex and cost intensive

process, the residual monomer content of approxi-

mately 10 to 12 % is washed out with hot, distilled

water and returned to the process (hot water

extraction).

This extraction process can be greatly simplified

with the help of the MRS technology.

The monomers can be extracted in the melt phase

(before chip cutting) and are extracted in a form

that permits them to be returned directly to the

process.

devolatilization of Pa

The inclusion and dispersion of additives in poly-

mers is normally carried out in the polymer melt

prior to the mixing process. With the MRS Disper-

sion Technology, the approach is quite different.

The introduction of the additives does not take

place under pressure and with a shear gap, but by

a constant and drastic change of flow direction in

a pressure-free environment.

Mrs dispersion technology

In this way, major differences in speed are created

between the particles to be mixed and the mo-

lecule chains. This creates an extremely efficient

mixing process which is extremely gentle to both

the polymer melt and the additive.

The MRS system also provides excellent results in

the dispersion of extremely small (nano) particles

and in the homogenization of polymers (alloying)

with different viscosities.
