The workshop entitled: Realization in metal of extruder vital elements and auxiliary parts – results of WP3, comprised in WP5, especially in T5.1d was held in due time and in accordance with the plan.
On February 6, 2020 in Dirmeta company, representatives from various centers reported project achievements realized during the tasks T3.1, T3.3 and T3.4. Łukasz Majewski and Karolina Głogowska presented the results achieved during the implementation of task 3.1A, concerning the manufacuring of the Active Grooved Feed Section (AGFS). They presented step by step the order of the individual machining operations carried out to obtain these parts and discussed all the metalworking machines used. At the end they presented individual parts made of metal.
Doc Ludmila Dulebova from TUK presented the entire process of obtaining all the necessary parts for manufacturing the Rotational Barrel Segment (RBS). She presented the results achieved during the implementation of task 3.1B, concerning the manufacuring of the rotational barrel segment. She step by step presented the order of the individual machining operations carried out to obtain these parts and discussed all the metalworking machines used. Finally, she presented individual parts made of metal. She also presented other parts that TUK made under the project.
Next, a representative of Dirmeta, Mr. Aurimas Valečka presented the entire process of obtaining a Special Screw (SS) and frame. He presented the results achieved during the implementation of task 3.1C, concerning the manufacuring of the special screw (SS). Step by step Mr. Aurimas Valečka presented the order of the individual machining operations performed to obtain a special screw and frame. All the machines and tools which were used in this process were discussed. Finally, he presented a special screw and frame made of metal.
Another topic presented at the workshop were the results of choosing auxiliary elements for the extruder, e.g. the main motor, the motor for rotary segment drive, temperature sensors and plastic pressure in the plasticizing system, heating elements, thermocouples for measuring barrel wall temperature. The selection process was carried out during the implementation of task T3.3. The results were presented by Marcin Buczaj from Lublin University of Technology.
Finally, the project coordinator prof. Janusz Sikora, presented the current status of task T3.4 regarding the assembly of the extruder and pointed out that everything is going according to the plan, the pace of work is good, almost half of the work is already done, and the extruder will be assembled in March.
