High Performance Elements
What can our high performance elements mean for you?
The right carefully selected high performance element introduced into the process at the right point can
increase throughput and product quality in many different levels.
High levels of energy input and the resulting strong rise of local temperature are usually unwanted side
effects of using kneading elements. Our high performance elements can lower the energy input into the
product and this with very high disruptive and distruibutive mixing action. The high performance elements
prevent local overload by shear peaks and boost the mixing action by creating elongational flow based on
geometric changes in the screw profile. Furthermore the basic T-profile element geometry keeps the well-
known self-cleaning effect of tightly intermeshing screw profiles.
Our process specialist team will figure out the improvement potential together with our customer and will
make recommendations for an improved screw configuration or process set-up.
The Advantages
Higher mixing effect with lower energy input
Higher degassing effect by higher surface regeneration
Further advantages
Our team of process specialists is highly skilled in identifying potential improvements through process
analysis and screw design.
