Bridging Phenomenon in Single-Screw Extrusion Systems: Causes and Mitigation Strategies

Issue OverviewBridging in single-screw extruders, often triggered by melt fracture during processing, manifests as material accumulation at the extrusion outlet due to interrupted melt continuity. This phenomenon predominantly occurs in the feeding zone or plastication section and is primarily attributed to inconsistent material feeding or inhomogeneous melt viscosity, leading to flow instability. Optimization Strategies Preventive […]
