Various method has all been used to this process, but is all incorporated with the continuous feed system of the constant ratio that can keep between the polyolefin component of powdered and any other additive (the general part as the formula logistics (recipe stream) of first step is merged in).Once all compositions be mixed the ratio realizing wishing, just obtain uniform formula logistics.
With constant rate of speed, this formula logistics is caused the entrance of mixing and melting unit.Then to form homogeneous bi's polyolefin blend of melting together with HMW being compounded in lower-molecular-weight component, or " melt ".
This blend step can be carried out in such as continuous mixer (as Farrel Continuous Mixer (FCM)) or double screw extruder (as Coperion ZSK).In a preferred embodiment, FCM is used to blend step and for fusing step afterwards.Mixer rotor by powder feed to closed-chamber to compress this powder between described rotor itself and between described rotor and locular wall.
This completes by this way: powder particle and the friction between rotor and wall are enough melted this polymer and formed molten polymer and additive group.By this way by polymer and additive mixing also homogenising.
Than can (specific energy) be measuring of motor energy in the described mixer of input in melt, and kilowatt (" kW ") that be defined as motor power be divided by kg/hr polymer throughput of (" kg/h ").By changing this than energy, the time of staying of melt group in described mixer (melt pool) can be affected.
According to method of the present invention, find that the ratio changed in described mixer can change the melt behavior in described extruder.Connect with mixer, extruder behavior is optimized, and this provides the disposed of in its entirety rate of increase.Utilize mixer and the extruder of series connection, due to the friction of the increase of melt and extruder wall, the flow forward in extruder can be made to maximize, thus increase productivity ratio.In a preferred embodiment, described ratio can be remained on be less than 0.2 kWh/kg.
In described mixer, the time of staying of melt is subject to rotor type and some craft control appliance as the impact of discharge opening, radial gate valve (radial gate valves) or rotating rod (rotary bars).
The size of reduction holes opening has raising polymer-melt temperature and increases the effect that polymer spends in the time in this mixer.Described rotor type also affects incorporation time and its path of taking when polymer moves to the discharging opening of this mixing chamber from entrance.Such as, compared with style (style) 7/15 rotor combination, style 15/15 rotor combination used in described FCM all tends to produce the relatively large time of staying in this mixer at any hole opening size.
Except above-mentioned rotor style, compare with 15 single hop rotors with style 7, other useful pattern comprises style 22 and style 24 two-stage rotor.Section refers to the Mixed Zone separated in rotor.Style 7 and 15 only has feed flight (flight) region, is then interaction top (apex) region wherein occurring to melt and mix.Existence second, shorter secondary Mixed Zone in style 22 and 24.
According to an embodiment, use two dissimilar rotor designs (dissimilar rotor designs), thus the top of described rotor is offset from each other (offset from each other).This skew can be axial orientation or tangential orientation (axial or tangential in orientation).This makes product melt bypass (bypass) minimize and adds distributing mixing.Along with the mixing improved, in final products, gel reduces.Preferably, the gel area (gel area) of the film generated by polyolefin composition is less than 265/236 square inch.
According to this embodiment, in mixer combination unit (mixer assembly), rotor is equipped with leaf combination alternately, preferably staggered helical rotor (staggered helix rotors), to realize the speed of Billy with the lower energy in the cards of the mixer combination unit with similar rotor and Geng Gao.Prior art is taught in mixer combination unit and uses similar rotor, and this produces higher ratio energy, kWh/kg.As shown in this article, higher ratio can cause some degradeds of the increase of melt index (MI) and final granule product.
The use of dissimilar rotor allows more effective dispersion and the back mixing of described mixer interpolymer melt.Due to the improvement mixed and disperse, leave the final polymer melt of described mixer evenly and there is lower gel level.In addition, along with larger uniformity and less focus (hot spots), described mixer combination unit achieves the ratio energy lower than the commeasurable combination unit of the top rotor (apex rotors) with coupling, kWh/kg.
Selectively, an embodiment of described method utilizes the rotor run with friction speed.Use the rotor operated at the same rate according to the current practice of prior art.Use different spinner velocities to enable the operating personnel of the method accurately control energy and be input to optimal level, make melt treatment amount maximize simultaneously.This causes the method improved, and wherein, final granule product illustrates the gel of reduction and lower color, maintains the physical property of this final granule product simultaneously.Preferably, the color recorded by b-color standard will be less than 5.0.
According to this embodiment, when they rotate with identical speed, the orientation of a rotor and another rotor is fixing, or when they rotate with friction speed, orientation is constantly change.General compared with low velocity in larger-diameter mixer.For two speed, typically be worth for 12 according to preferred embodiment " be about 228 rpm-about 258 rpm for diameter FCM, for being low to moderate 4 " diameter use higher rpm scope compared with small machine and for up to 21 " the larger machine of diameter uses lower speed.
According to variable velocity embodiment, The inventive method achieves lower ratio can (kWh/kg) use, and makes the temperature of the melt entering described extruder be in low temperature.Melt temperature to the reduction of this extruder allows the melt increased to the friction of extruder wall.The friction of this increase is crucial for moving forward of molten polymer of raising.By control inputs to this polymer melt ratio can and remained minimum of a value, operating personnel are therefore, it is possible to realize the productivity ratio improved from the extruder of same size.And, as seem whiter pellet confirm, to control than described method being made depolymerization to be minimized to minimum ability.
And then the actual Mixed Zone of method of the present invention starts after described feed flight end.It is made up of the district with the effect of moving forward and some reverse migration back to back.The motion of this conflict forces polymer to be compressed and melts and mix.
The third step of method of the present invention melt is forced through mouth template (die plate), and object is to prepare pellet.Those or the double screw extruder that comprise that FCM single screw extrusion machine (as mentioned above), gear pump produce as Maag for the suitable equipment in this step as Coperion produce.
The function of this pressurization steps after described molten polymer, produces enough pressure thus polymer is forced through granulation mouth template.Single screw extrusion machine used in the method is the single screw extrusion machine with variable speed drive motor.Governing speed thus the output of this extruder is mated with the output of mixer in second step.
Described extruder receives the molten polymer logistics as gravity charging in skewed slot, and this skewed slot is designed to hold this molten polymer logistics and it is guided to extruder screw in porch.This melt is directed to the screw thread place of this extruder screw.Reciprocating type plunger (ram) is installed in the side of the entrance feed hopper of this extruder screw, to assist this molten polymer to shift onto in screw flight.By regulating extruder screw revolution (" rpm ") per minute, make to mate with the output of mixer from the flowing of this extruder.
Then the melt of pressurization is transferred by granulation mouth template, at this place, described polymer flow is divided into independently logistics and is cut into uniform multimodal polyolefm composition pellet.
According to a kind of embodiment of the present invention, this uniform multimodal polyolefin granule product comprises the bimodal polyethylene blend be made up of higher molecular weight ethylene copolymer and lower molecular weight ethene polymers, its melt index (MI) (MI5) 190/5 is 0.15-0.45 g/10 min, density is 0.947-0.955 g/cc, environmental stress cracking resistance ESCR (PENT) >500 hr.MI5 and ESCR (PENT) is the ASTM test for measuring polyolefinic viscosity and stress cracking resistance.
