Machine General All extrusion and injection machines suitable for PEBA can run the Agimid® Flex 300N055 Screw Types Screws with three zones (feeding, compression, and metering zones) are recommended. Length 18 D - 22 D Compression Ratio 2.2 - 2.8 Material Drying Agimid® Flex 300N055 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. To avoid yellowing of the granules (for natural color grades only), it is recommended to respect the following settings. Drying Settings Air Dryer Temperature: max. 80°C, Time: 2 - 10 hours Vacuum Dryer Temperature: max. 80°C, Time: 2 - 4 hours Process (Recommended Basic Settings) Extrusion Settings - Hopper zone 60 - 90°C
- Feeding zone 190 - 210°C
- Compression zone 210 - 230°C
- Metering zone 210 - 230°C, Nozzle 200 - 210°C
Cooling Bath 15 - 40°C Injection Molding Settings - Mold temperature 15 - 40°C
- Screw speed 3 - 12 m/min
