Side degassing

The side degassing system is equipment used to optimize atmospheric degassing / venting in the extrusion process. In fact, some processed materials, due to their specific rheological characteristics, can cause clogging of the standard degassing fireplace, thus preventing the correct devolatilization of the gases. In these cases it is necessary to use the lateral degassing system, where the degassing chimney is mounted on a double screw device, which guarantees high volumes of devolatilization and, at the same time, no clogging, no stagnation of material, no pollution due to the degraded polymer.

The side degassing device is therefore composed of a housing and a pair of co-rotating augers very similar to the side feeding machines, but the standard hopper has been replaced by a chimney. The hermetic seal guarantees a correct seal during operation with vacuum levels commonly used in compounding processes.
