Die Pressure Variation
Vol. 27 #3, December 2000

When significant quantities of recycled plastics are used, die pressure variations may not be due to extruder surging. Many times, these pressure variations are related to viscosity changes in the melt stream due to the different melt indexes of the materials being processed.
