1.2.4 Classification by Filling Amount:
According to the filling amount of inorganic fillers, filler masterbatch can be divided into low-filling masterbatch (filling amount 30%-50%), medium-filling masterbatch (filling amount 50%-70%) and high-filling masterbatch (filling amount 70% ati loke). The filling amount is determined according to the performance requirements of downstream products and the processing capacity of equipment. High-filling masterbatch has more obvious cost reduction effect, but it has higher requirements on the dispersibility of fillers and the performance of extruders—only high-performance extruders can ensure the uniform mixing and melting of high-filling materials, avoiding agglomeration and poor processing fluidity.
It is worth noting that the core performance indicators of filler masterbatch mainly include dispersibility, particle size uniformity, melting index, whiteness (for light-colored products) and compatibility with carrier resin. Lára wọn, dispersibility is the most critical indicator—poor dispersibility will lead to uneven distribution of fillers in plastic products, resulting in defects such as white spots, dudu to muna, agglomeration and brittle products, which seriously affect the appearance and performance of plastic products. Nitorina, the selection of advanced extrusion equipment and scientific processing technology is crucial to ensure the dispersibility and overall quality of filler masterbatch.
2. Core Technology of Filler Masterbatch Production: Extrusion Granulation Technology
Extrusion granulation technology is the core technology of filler masterbatch production, which integrates mixing, yo, irẹrun, dispersion and granulation. It has the advantages of high production efficiency, ti o dara ọja didara, lagbara adaptability to aise ohun elo ati ki o jakejado ohun elo ibiti. In the production of filler masterbatch, extrusion granulation technology is mainly used to realize the uniform dispersion of inorganic fillers in the polymer carrier, melt and plasticize the mixture, and then extrude and granulate to form granular filler masterbatch with uniform size, good fluidity and stable performance. The quality of extrusion granulation directly determines the key performance indicators of filler masterbatch, such as dispersibility, particle size and melting index.
2.1 Characteristics of Filler Masterbatch Raw Materials and Requirements for Extrusion Equipment
The raw materials of filler masterbatch mainly include three parts: inorganic fillers (such as CaCO3, talc, BaSO4), polymer carriers (bii PE, PP, PVC) ati awọn afikun (gẹgẹ bi awọn dispersants, compatibilizers, lubricants, antioxidants, ati be be lo.).

Inorganic fillers are also sieved to remove impurities and large particles, ensuring the fineness and uniformity of fillers. 3) Iwaju: According to the formula ratio, the dried fillers, carrier resin particles and additives (dispersants, compatibilizers, lubricants, ati be be lo.) are put into a high-speed mixer for premixing. The mixing speed is generally 800-1200 rpm, and the mixing time is 5-10 iseju. The purpose of premixing is to make the additives evenly adhere to the surface of fillers and carrier resin, improve the compatibility between fillers and carrier, and lay a foundation for subsequent extrusion mixing. The dispersant is a key additive in premixing, which can form a protective film on the surface of the filler, reduce the surface energy of the filler, idilọwọ awọn kikun lati agglomerating, ati ki o mu awọn dispersibility ti awọn kikun ninu awọn ti ngbe resini.

Ẹkẹrin, extrusion and shaping. The fully melted, mixed and dispersed material is pushed to the die head of the extruder by the screws. The die head is equipped with multiple die holes (the number and size of die holes are determined according to the particle size of the masterbatch), and the material is extruded from the die holes at a high speed to form continuous strips of uniform thickness. The temperature of the die head is slightly lower than that of the homogenizing section, which can prevent the material from decomposing due to excessive temperature and ensure the shaping effect of the strips.

2.3 Key Factors Affecting Filler Masterbatch Extrusion Granulation Effect
The effect of extrusion granulation directly affects the quality of filler masterbatch. There are many factors affecting the granulation effect, o kun pẹlu aise awọn ohun elo abuda, formula ratio, premixing effect, extrusion sile ki o si kú ori be. Mastering these key factors and making scientific adjustments can ensure the stability of the granulation effect and the consistency of product quality.
2.3.1 Awọn abuda Ohun elo Raw:
Iru, patiku iwọn, moisture content and purity of raw materials have a great impact on the granulation effect. Fun apere, the particle size of inorganic fillers directly affects the dispersibility and fineness of the masterbatch. The finer the particle size of the filler (ni gbogbogbo 800-2000 apapo), the better the dispersibility, but the higher the cost and the easier it is to agglomerate; the coarser the particle size, the lower the cost, but the dispersibility is poor, which will affect the appearance and performance of the masterbatch. The moisture content of raw materials (especially fillers) should be controlled below 0.5%; if the moisture content is too high, it will cause bubbles in the masterbatch, ni ipa lori iwuwo ati awọn ohun-ini ẹrọ ti ọja naa. Mimo ti awọn ohun elo aise tun ṣe pataki pupọ; impurities ni aise ohun elo (gẹgẹ bi awọn okuta, awọn irin, eruku) kii yoo ni ipa lori didara masterbatch nikan, sugbon tun wọ dabaru ati agba ti extruder, ati paapaa fa idinamọ ẹrọ.
2.3.2 Ilana agbekalẹ:
Iwọn agbekalẹ ti kikun masterbatch (awọn ipin ti kikun, ti ngbe resini ati additives) jẹ bọtini lati pinnu iṣẹ ṣiṣe ati idiyele ọja naa. Iwọn kikun ti kikun yẹ ki o pinnu ni ibamu si awọn ibeere iṣẹ ti ọja isalẹ ati agbara sisẹ ti ẹrọ naa.. Iwọn kikun ti o ga julọ yoo ja si dispersibility ti ko dara, kekere toughness ati ko dara processing fluidity ti masterbatch; Iwọn kikun ti o kere ju yoo dinku ipa idinku iye owo. The type and dosage of additives also need to be reasonably matched. Fun apere, the dispersant dosage is generally 1%-3% of the filler dosage; too little dispersant will lead to poor dispersibility of the filler, and too much dispersant will affect the compatibility between the masterbatch and the downstream plastic products, and reduce the mechanical properties of the products. The compatibilizer is used to improve the compatibility between the filler and the carrier resin; the dosage is generally 0.5%-2%, which can significantly improve the dispersibility and mechanical properties of the masterbatch. The lubricant is used to reduce the friction between the materials and the screw, barrel and die head, improve the processing fluidity, and prevent the materials from sticking to the equipment; the dosage is generally 0.3%-1%.
2.3.3 Premixing Effect:
Premixing is the foundation of extrusion granulation. The uniformity of premixing directly affects the dispersibility of the filler in the carrier resin. If the premixing is uneven, the additives cannot be uniformly adhered to the surface of the filler and carrier, resulting in local agglomeration of the filler, uneven mixing of the materials during extrusion, and poor quality of the masterbatch. Lati rii daju awọn premixing ipa, o jẹ pataki lati šakoso awọn dapọ iyara, dapọ akoko ati dapọ otutu.

The screw speed should be adjusted according to the filling amount and type of filler masterbatch—for high-filling masterbatch, a higher screw speed is needed to ensure sufficient shearing and mixing.
- Extrusion otutu: The extrusion temperature is divided into multiple sections (ono apakan, yo apakan, dapọ apakan, homogenizing apakan, kú ori apakan), and the temperature of each section needs to be precisely controlled according to the type of carrier resin and filler. Iwọn otutu ti apakan ifunni jẹ kekere (slightly higher than the melting point of the carrier resin), which is mainly to prevent the materials from caking and ensure smooth feeding; iwọn otutu ti apakan yo jẹ alabọde, which is mainly to promote the melting and plasticization of the carrier resin; the temperature of the mixing section is higher, which is mainly to enhance the shear and mixing effect, and promote the uniform dispersion of the filler; the temperature of the homogenizing section is slightly lower than the mixing section, which is mainly to ensure the uniform temperature and viscosity of the materials, and avoid thermal decomposition; the temperature of the die head section is slightly lower than the homogenizing section, which is to ensure the shaping effect of the strips.

3. Extruders wa: Advantages and Product Series for Filler Masterbatch Production
A ti gun a ti npe ni iwadi, development and production of high-performance extruders and granulation production lines, and have accumulated rich experience in the field of filler masterbatch processing. According to the characteristics of filler masterbatch raw materials (high hardness, poor compatibility, ga iki) ati processing awọn ibeere (good dispersibility, uniform particle size, high filling amount), we have developed a series of twin-screw extruders specially suitable for filler masterbatch production. Our extruders have the advantages of high wear resistance, strong shearing force, kongẹ otutu iṣakoso, stable performance and low operating cost, which can meet the processing needs of various types, o yatọ si nkún oye akojo ti filler masterbatch (CaCO3, talc, BaSO4, ati be be lo.), and help enterprises improve production efficiency, ensure product quality and reduce production costs.
3.1 Main Advantages of Our Extruders for Filler Masterbatch Production
3.1.1 High Wear Resistance, Long Service Life:
Aiming at the problem that inorganic fillers (such as CaCO3, talc) have high hardness and easy to wear the screw and barrel, we adopt high-quality wear-resistant materials and advanced manufacturing technology to ensure the wear resistance of the core components of the extruder. The screw and barrel are made of imported wear-resistant alloy steel (such as 38CrMoAlA), and after nitriding treatment or bimetallic composite treatment, the surface hardness can reach ≥65 HRC, which has extremely strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can effectively resist the wear caused by the friction between the high-hardness filler and the components. This greatly extends the service life of the screw and barrel, reduces the frequency of component replacement, and reduces the maintenance cost of the equipment. Ni afikun, we also provide professional wear detection services for the screw and barrel. Our technical team will regularly detect the wear degree of the screw and barrel for customers, jade alaye yiya Iroyin, and put forward targeted replacement and maintenance suggestions, ensuring that customers only replace components when necessary, avoiding unnecessary waste.

The screw is designed with a modular structure, and different screw elements (such as conveying elements, dapọ eroja, shearing elements) can be freely combined according to the type and filling amount of filler masterbatch, so as to adjust the shear force and mixing effect, and achieve the best processing effect. Fun apere, when processing high-filling CaCO3 masterbatch, we can configure more shearing elements to enhance the shearing effect and ensure the uniform dispersion of the filler; when processing talc masterbatch which requires high mixing uniformity, we can configure more mixing elements to improve the mixing effect.
3.1.3 Iṣakoso iwọn otutu deede, Stable Performance:
Our extruders adopt advanced intelligent temperature control systems, which can realize precise control of the temperature of each section of the barrel and the die head. The temperature control accuracy can reach ±1℃, which can ensure that the carrier resin is fully melted without thermal decomposition, and the additives are not decomposed, ensuring the stability of the product performance. The temperature control system is equipped with a real-time monitoring and alarm function. If the temperature of any section exceeds the set range, Eto naa yoo funni ni kiakia itaniji ni akoko, and even automatically adjust the heating power or shut down the equipment if necessary, lati yago fun ikuna ẹrọ ati awọn iṣoro didara ọja. Ni afikun, the extruder is equipped with a high-precision pressure sensor, which can monitor the extrusion pressure in real time.

4.2 Usage Methods of Filler Masterbatch
The correct use of filler masterbatch is crucial to ensure the quality of plastic products and give full play to the performance of the masterbatch. The usage methods of filler masterbatch mainly include mixing ratio, mixing method, processing parameter adjustment and precautions. The specific operation points are as follows:
4.2.1 Determination of Mixing Ratio:
The mixing ratio of filler masterbatch and base plastic (carrier resin of plastic products) is mainly determined by the filling amount of the masterbatch, the performance requirements of the final product and the processing capacity of the equipment. The general mixing ratio range is 1%-20%, and the specific ratio can be adjusted according to the following principles:
- For plastic products with low performance requirements and high cost control requirements (such as ordinary plastic bags, garbage bags), the mixing ratio can be 5%-20% (using low-to-medium filling calcium carbonate filler masterbatch);
- For plastic products with medium performance requirements (gẹgẹbi awọn fiimu ṣiṣu, ordinary injection molding parts), the mixing ratio can be 2%-8% (using medium filling calcium carbonate, talc or barium sulfate filler masterbatch);
- For plastic products with high performance requirements (gẹgẹbi awọn ẹya ara ẹrọ, electronic product shells, high-grade films), the mixing ratio can be 1%-5% (using high-filling, high-performance talc, barium sulfate or glass fiber reinforced filler masterbatch);
- For transparent or semi-transparent plastic products (such as plastic bottles, transparent films), the mixing ratio should be controlled at 1%-3%, and barium sulfate or light calcium carbonate filler masterbatch with fine particle size (loke 1250 apapo) should be selected to avoid affecting the transparency of the products.
4.2.2 Mixing Method:
The mixing of filler masterbatch and base plastic should ensure uniformity, so as to avoid local agglomeration of the masterbatch and affect the performance of the final product. The common mixing methods include dry mixing and wet mixing, among which dry mixing is the most widely used in industrial production.
- Dry Mixing: This method is suitable for most filler masterbatch and base plastic (bii PE, PP, PVC). The specific steps are: akọkọ, dry the base plastic particles and filler masterbatch to remove moisture (the moisture content should be controlled below 0.5%); then, put the base plastic particles and filler masterbatch into a high-speed mixer according to the determined mixing ratio, and add an appropriate amount of lubricant (if necessary) to mix uniformly. The mixing speed is generally 500-800 rpm, and the mixing time is 3-5 iseju. Lẹhin ti o dapọ, the mixture can be directly sent to the extruder or injection molding machine for processing. The advantages of dry mixing are simple operation, ga ṣiṣe, low cost and no pollution to the product.
- Wet Mixing: This method is suitable for filler masterbatch with poor dispersibility or base plastic with high viscosity (such as PVC paste). The specific steps are: mix the filler masterbatch with an appropriate amount of solvent (such as plasticizer, solvent oil) to form a paste, then add the paste to the base plastic and stir uniformly, and finally remove the solvent through heating or drying. The advantages of wet mixing are good mixing effect and uniform dispersion of the masterbatch; the disadvantages are complex operation, high cost, and easy residual solvent affecting the product quality. Nitorina, wet mixing is only used in special cases.
4.2.3 Adjustment of Processing Parameters:
When adding filler masterbatch to plastic processing, the processing parameters (such as temperature, titẹ, dabaru iyara) need to be properly adjusted according to the type and filling amount of the masterbatch to ensure the smooth progress of processing and the quality of the final product.
- Temperature Adjustment: The addition of filler masterbatch will increase the viscosity of the mixture, so the processing temperature needs to be appropriately increased by 5-15℃ compared with the processing temperature of pure base plastic. Fun apere, when processing PE plastic with calcium carbonate filler masterbatch, the processing temperature can be increased by 5-10℃; when processing PP plastic with talc filler masterbatch, the processing temperature can be increased by 10-15℃. It should be noted that the temperature should not be too high to avoid thermal decomposition of the base plastic and additives.
- Pressure Adjustment: The addition of filler masterbatch will increase the resistance during processing, so the processing pressure (extrusion titẹ, injection pressure) needs to be appropriately increased by 10%-20%. Fun apere, when extruding plastic pipes with filler masterbatch, the extrusion pressure can be increased by 10%-15% to ensure the compactness and dimensional accuracy of the pipes; when injecting plastic parts with filler masterbatch, the injection pressure can be increased by 15%-20% to avoid defects such as insufficient filling and shrinkage.
- Screw Speed Adjustment: The screw speed should be adjusted according to the type and filling amount of the masterbatch. For high-filling masterbatch or masterbatch with poor dispersibility, the screw speed can be appropriately increased by 10%-15% to enhance the shear force and mixing effect, ensuring the uniform dispersion of the filler; for low-filling masterbatch or masterbatch with good dispersibility, the screw speed can be kept unchanged or slightly reduced to reduce energy consumption and wear of equipment.
4.2.4 Precautions for Use:
In the process of using filler masterbatch, the following precautions should be paid attention to to avoid affecting the processing effect and product quality:
- Moisture Prevention: Filler masterbatch (especially calcium carbonate, talc masterbatch) is easy to absorb moisture, which will cause bubbles, pinholes and other defects in the final product. Nitorina, the masterbatch should be stored in a dry, itura ati ki o ventilated ile ise, and should be dried before use (the drying temperature is 80-100℃, ati akoko gbigbe ni 2-4 wakati).
- Ibamu: The carrier resin of the filler masterbatch should be consistent with or compatible with the base plastic of the product. Fun apere, PE filler masterbatch should be used with PE base plastic, and PP filler masterbatch should be used with PP base plastic. If the carrier resin is incompatible with the base plastic, it will affect the compatibility between the masterbatch and the base plastic, resulting in poor dispersibility and reduced product performance.
- Uniform Mixing: The filler masterbatch and base plastic must be mixed uniformly. If the mixing is uneven, local agglomeration of the masterbatch will occur, resulting in defects such as white spots, black spots and agglomeration in the product, affecting the appearance and performance of the product.
- Dosage Control: The dosage of filler masterbatch should not exceed the maximum filling amount applicable to the equipment and product performance. Excessive dosage will lead to poor dispersibility, low toughness, poor processing fluidity and other problems of the product; insufficient dosage will not achieve the effect of cost reduction and performance improvement.
- Storage Period: The filler masterbatch has a certain storage period (ni gbogbogbo 6-12 osu). If the storage period is exceeded, the masterbatch may absorb moisture, agglomerate or the performance of additives may degrade, affecting the use effect. Nitorina, the masterbatch should be used within the storage period.
