Color Masterbatch extruder machine

GSmach has delivered more than 1000 sets of high performance extruder machines for color masterbatch.

We would like to share the experience for the following special applications.

Color masterbatch compounding is one of the main applications for twin screw extruder.

Color masterbatch is used for any polymer and all kinds of products.

There are three types of Color Masterbatch:

1) Mono color masterbatch or SPC (single pigment concentrate):

polymer compounding with one single pigment and mostly without the wax and additive

2) Tailor-Made masterbatch or Custom coloring:

mixing different Mono color masterbatch pellets to get the color the customer wants

3) Customized masterbatch:

mix polymer and several pigment and additives

Experience for Special Applications

1) PP Base Mono and Tailor-Made Masterbatch for BCF&CF

There are more than 20,000 color for PP base carpet, BCF&CF yarn. So it is better to make Mono Color Masterbatch first, then produce Tailor-Made Masterbatch for the final product.

For Mono Color Masterbatch:

One extruder for one type of color (such as from light red to dark red).

Most of pigments need premix process for better dispersion. Need separate room and dust collecting system for mixer. And PP in powder form is necessary for one time compounding. You just need PP in pellet form, if you do twice compounding process and the first time compounding with split feeding system.

It is better to use the triple screw extruder for the better dispersion and more output, due to 40% extra free volume and one more screw for mixing.

Technical Specifications of Triple Screw Extruder:

Type Screw diameter (mm) power(kw) Screw speed (rpm) output(kg/h)
GS36 36 18.5-30 400-600 50-150
GS52 52 75-90 400-600 250-800
GS65 65 90-160 400-600 500-1000
GS75 75 132-250 400-600 1000-1500
GS95 95 200-315 400-600 1500-2500

For Tailor-Made Masterbatch:

It is clean production with high degree of automation.

Just need high torque and high screw speed for more output.

Fast cleaning type strand die plat for change of color, without heater, just need 2 minutes to change the die plate for different color.

Two Types of Process:

1) Mixer + Twin Screw Extruder + Water Cooling Strand Pelletizing

2) Loss-in-weight Feeding + Twin Screw Extruder + Water Cooling Strand Pelletizing

 

Technical Specifications of Extruder:

Type Screw diameter (mm) Power(kw) Quantity (kg/h)
GS20 21.7 4 5~15
GS25 26 11 5~55
GS35 35.6 15 10~40
GS50 50.5 55 120~200
GS52 51.4 90 270~450
GS65 62.4 90 255~400
GS75 71 132 450~750
GS95 93 315 950~1600
GS135 133 750 2250~3750

2) PBT Base Color Masterbatch for POY&FDY

PBT has less viscosity than PP, so it need special screw design

PBT in powder form is necessary for premixing process, and need separate room and dust collecting     system for mixer

Strong vacuum system for removing moisture and minimum IV drop

It is better to use the Triple Screw Extruder for the better dispersion and more output

The clearance between twin screws & the clearance between screw and barrel should be minimum.       So  small extruder is better

3) PET Base Color Masterbatch for PSF

PSF is always made from recycle PET

The dispersion inquiry is less than the Color Masterbatch for POY

The most popular formula: bottle flakes (with the size less than 10mm) compounding with 25-40% carbon black powder by split feeding and water cooling strand pelletizing

Split feeding by two loss-in-weight feeder, with minimum dust pollution

Prefer to use Under Water Strand Pelleting System for more output: the strands go into the pelletizer     automatically by the water flow, even the strands break during changing the filter. So there will be almost no waste during the manufacturing process.

4) Special-Effect Masterbatch

Effect pigments are used in the decorative area of plastics as well as in the functional area and have become an essential part of modern product designs. Social developments and associated colour trends are constantly being researched. Selected colours are refined by special effect pigments and make the end product unique and worthy.

The main type of Special Effect Masterbatch:

1.Pearlescent effect

2.Metallic effect

3.Fluorescent effect

4.Marble/Granite effect

5.Phosphorescent (Glow in Dark)

6.Fragrance

The Effect pigments have a layer structure and with particle size up to 170 micron. It is sensitive to shearing, so the best process is thus split-feed — feeding into the fifth barrel of extruder by side force feeder

Need special kneading elements with more effect of distribution than dispersion

Need less shearing force but more mixing

 

5) Micro Pellets Color Masterbatch

Micro pellets are pellets with a size of ≤ 1mm, which are made by using underwater pelletizing system.

Advantages

Due to their small particle size micro pellets spread much more uniform and distribute finer, like the conventional raw polymer. In contrast, conventional master batches with “normal” sized pellets must be used in higher dosages to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, by using micro pellets, less colorants are required which lead to significant cost savings as master batches are extremely expensive compared to crude polymers. Master batches in shape of micro pellets are easier to handle, better to dose, and dust free.
