Session I 9:30 a.m. Slow Motion Filming and Predictive Modeling of a Gelimat K-Mixer WE. Baker, S. Frenken, and D. Lyons-Queen's University (Canada) The Gelimat melter-mixer or K-mixer is a unique, selectively used batch polymer processing device that melts and mixes at high speed without direct heat input and with high overall energy efficiency. The process is used for processing temperature sensitive polymers and color concentrates. The dynamics of melting are different from that in classical processing devices, and the mechanism of melting has not
