This document describes the hot and cooling mixing process for PVC compound manufacturing. It involves two stages: hot mixing and cold mixing. Hot mixing uses shear and convection to uniformly disperse and partially gel raw materials as the temperature rises to 110-130 degrees. Cold mixing then cools the materials to 40-45 degrees to prevent decomposition while stored. The mixing process aims to create a dry, uniformly mixed compound with good flowability and density for extrusion.

Function and Principle of PVC mixture
Mixing is the first process in the production of PVC plastic products. In the process of extrusion, usually use conical twin- screw extruder, and its positive conveying function is far greater than the mixing effect on materials.Therefore, the uniform mixing and mixing of various additives are mainly accomplished by mixing machine before extrusion. Hot and cooling mixing process for PVC compounding manufacturing
The main purpose of mixing is to make the raw materials fully
mixed and evenly distributed.and form a dry mixture with high apparent density, good fluidity and loose drying. Mixture consists of hot mixing and cold mixing.
Hot mixing principle
Under the impetus of a high-speed rotating impeller blade, the raw material disperses sharply along the inner wall of the mixer and falls down from the center to form a whirlpool motion. Under the shear action caused by the collision and friction between the material and the blade and the inner wall of the hot pot, the material is Hot and cooling mixing process for PVC compounding manufacturing transformed from solid, single-phase and non-uniform state to multi-phase, homogeneous and partial gel state, and the temperature of the raw material keeps rising and reaches the set temperature. Hot mixing process includes three processes: diffusion, convection and shear. Diffusion makes the distribution of material components more uniform, and makes the component particles migrate from more areas to less areas, so as to achieve uniformity of composition. Convection and shear are irregular flow by mechanical force, so that the material components can be uniformly dispersed.
Function of hot mixing:
1- Raw get a certain degree of gelation (pre plasticization), and low melting point substances, such as lubricants can melt into or adhere to the PVC surface. 2- Get good initial gel effect and dispersing effect Hot and cooling mixing process for PVC compounding manufacturing 3- The material obtains a larger apparent density, the flow ability is enhanced, the transportation is convenient,and the extrusion efficiency is improved. 4- Eliminate the moisture and low volatile components in raw materials, and eliminate the impact of these components on product quality. Hot mixing temperature: The set temperature of hot mixing is 110 - 130 degrees for rigid PVC products, and the soft PVC temperature is slightly lower than that of rigid PVC. When calcium carbonate Increase, the temperature of hot mixing material can be increased appropriately, which is beneficial to the equilibrium adsorption of calcium carbonate by PVC materials and low melting point components, and to the increase of apparent density. When the temperature of heat mixing is too low, the plasticization of PVC material is not uniform, and volatile matter can’t fully removal. When the temperature of heat mixing is too high, PVC materials are easy to decompose,even paste. Cold mixing principle The barrel of the cold mixer is sandwiched with cooling water flowing in the sandwich, and the volume of the cold mixer is about three times that of the hot mixer. The heat raw materials enter the cold mixer is absorbed by the cooling water in the interlayer of the inner wall of the barrel and gradually cooled by itself under the Hot and cooling mixing process for PVC compounding manufacturing elatively spacious environment and the continuous agitation and rolling of the rotating blade.
Function of cold mixing:
1. Prevent materials decompose stored at high temperature for a long time. 2. Prevent raw materials reabsorption the moisture by cooling at high temperature, which will cause adverse Effects on extrusion. Cold mixing temperature: Hot and cooling mixing process for PVC compounding manufacturing The terminal temperature of cold mixing is 40- 45degree,. If the temperature of cold mixing is too high, the dry mixtures will be stored if they are not fully cooled, which will cause excessive waste heat, excessive consumption of stabilizers, lead to raw materias decompose and burning. If the temperature of cold mixing is too low,its not conducive to improving the mixing efficiency.
