Machine General All extruders suitable for polyamides can run the Agimid® 243 N120-S Screw Types Screws with three zones (feeding, compression, and metering zones) are recommended
Length: 25 D - 30 DMaterial Drying Agimid® 243 N120-S is dried and packed with a moisture content of less than 0.10%.
If the packing has been damaged or left open for a long time (>2 hours), then the material has to be dried.
Polyamides are sensitive to oxidation at temperatures > 80°C in the oxygen atmosphere.Drying Settings - Air Dryer
Temperature: max. 80°C
Time: 4 - 8 hours- Vacuum Dryer
Temperature: max. 80°C
Time: 2 - 4 hoursLubrication Agimid® 243 N120-S includes internal lubricants.
However, the use of Zinc Stearate or Calcium Stearate can be helpful in case of process instability.Process (Recommended Basic Settings) Basic Machine Settings - Hopper zone 60 - 90°C
- Feeding zone 220 - 240°C
- Compression zone 220 - 250°C
- Metering zone 220 - 250°C
- Head 220 - 240°C
- Melt 205 - 245°C
Cooling Bath 15 - 30°C
