Abstract

The purpose of this project is to design, build, and test a plastic extruder that is capable of extruding composite extrudate. The design can handle a variety of thermoplastics with melting temperatures less than 350°C. The primary working variables of the extruder are the zone temperatures and throughput, which are controlled using LabView by manipulating on/off cycles of the heating bands and by manipulating the rotating speed by adjusting the pulse rate of the stepper motor.
