    2. Included are many engineering drawings such as the piping & instrument diagram, electrical diagrams, downstream equipment diagrams, etc.
  9. Pellet Geometry Notes
    1. The geometric shape that has the pellet when it leaves the extruder depends on several parameters: the rotation speed of the knife, the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer, the temperature inside the extruder, etc.
    2. Each customer requires a specific form called length/diameter ratio, so we can adjust the parameters measured above it and get pellets that resemble short rice grain or long
