    banbury mixing

    Hello Graham, I was wondering if you could explain some causes of variation in the s' curve. Basically the initial dip has a longer sustained plateau before s' starts increasing. There is no correlation in shift/batch times/weightment deviations/drop temps. Though batch time varies up to +/- 25...

    No tape, membrane. Both go through similar small/large rollers.

Coming out of the cart/liner, one ply is always less tackier than the other It's as if one of the ply looses tack? Liner is the same on both sides. The gum properties are exactly the same right out of the...

    banbury mixing

    Ah, thank you Graham. I have a couple more questions I'd like to ask. What is the typical duration for a ram raise to vent? (if the purpose was to vent moisture) For epdm, how many ram raises would one typically see for upsidedown mixing in a Banbury of Master Final Single pass?
