An extruder screw for a multi-screw extruder, having an intake and metering section. A rotor body has an enlarged diameter relative to the intake and metering section and has a plurality of satellite screws positioned on the outer periphery of the rotor body at least over part of the length thereof. A cone and an adjoining drive zone are formed between the intake and metering section and the rotor body, in which drive zone the satellite screws each engage via a drive pinion in an external toothing on the rotor body or in an internal toothing on a stator ring or in the inner wall of an extruder housing. At least one peripherally closed flow channel is formed, which flow channel extends from an inlet opening on the cone to an outlet opening located downstream of the drive pinions in the direction of flow.

For the production of polymers in which there are fillers with particle sizes below 10 μm incorporated and homogeneously distributed, a polymer starting material is input into a twin-screw extruder and is melted there to give a melt. In a conveying and mixing section, a suspension, which is formed of the fillers and of a carrier liquid, is injected into the melt. The melt viscosity is reduced by injection of the carrier liquid in the conveying and mixing section in that a cleavable polycondensate is used as polymer and low-molecular-weight cleavage product arising during the polycondensation is used as carrier liquid, and therefore the molten polymer is at least to some extent depolymerized within the conveying and mixing section. That the mixture, which is formed of the melt whose viscosity is reduced by cleavage, of the remainder of the carrier liquid and of the fillers, is homogenized.

Method for producing polymers in which fillers are incorporated and homogeneously distributed

An extruder for the viscosity-increasing preparation of meltable polymers, wherein an extruder screw with at least one helical extruder screw flight is positioned in a housing having an inner housing recess. A diameter central region has a larger outer diameter than at least one of the other diameter regions, and a conical transition is formed in each case between regions of different diameters. Two degassing zones are provided in the diameter central region, each of which has at least one associated suction opening in the housing, one degassing zone being designed in the region of the satellite screws and an additional degassing zone being designed upstream thereof in the flow direction. The thread depth of the screw threads, formed between the extruder screw flights is greater in both degassing zones than in at least one sealing and compression section formed therebetween.

A multiport valve unit for medium- to high-viscosity fluids having a housing comprising at least: an inlet plate having at least one main flow channel, an outlet plate having at least one main flow channel, and at least one secondary flow channel. At least one intermediate plate and/or at least one spacer element are located between the inlet plate and the outlet plate. The multiport valve unit also has at least one switching element mounted pivotably or rotatably in the housing, which switching element is located between the inlet plate and the outlet plate, and, in a starting position, connects the main flow channels to one another via at least one passage opening.

A filtering device for highly viscous media, in which filtering device a rotatably mounted screening wheel which has a plurality of screening cavities is arranged between a front housing element and a rear housing element. According to the invention, a plurality of screening cavities lying beside one another, through which flow can pass jointly, are combined into at least one filter group. To this end, on both sides beside the filter group, a closed blocking segment is provided on the screening wheel which segment, when positioned in associated blocking regions of the housing, is sealed off with respect to the housing elements on both sides of the screening wheel. The blocking regions in the housing are in each case larger than or as large as a screening cavity together with a sealing web surrounding the same.
