Abstract
Close-up video movies were taken of the flow in a Werner & Pfleiderer ZSK-30 corotating twin-screw extruder. The flow was made visible by placing a custom made acrylic window into the vent section of the extruder, and using clear corn syrup as the extruded material. Small quantities of sesame seeds were added to the heavy syrup to make the velocity fields within the screw channels more visible.
