The present invention can execute efficiently the provision of a film-formable thermoplastic composition containing polysaccharides and proteins as the main ingredients or the preparation of polyester foamed products of practical utility by compressing a substance together with carbon dioxide and processing it as a fluid of critical state. An equipment useful for it is a screw type processing equipment for compressing a substance together with carbon dioxide continuously to give a fluid of critical state and the equipment is one in which the extruding screw having next to the raw material supplying part X, a vacuum part E in which the shaft of said screw is made thin and the gap volume between the screw blades is increased is provided and carbon dioxide is introduced to the vacuum part E and furthermore after the vacuum part E a compressing part F in which the shaft is again thickened and consisted of a screw having narrowed blade intervals is placed and then the thickness of the shaft is made to be substantially same as the periphery of the barrel and an orifice part L is provided in which an orifice 17 is provided on the surface or on the surroundings of said shaft. The maximum flow rate of the substance passing through the orifice is preferably designed to be 10 to 1500 cm/second.
本发明通过将一种物质与
二氧化碳一起压缩并加工成临界状态的流体,可以有效地提供以
多糖和蛋白质为主要成分的可成膜热塑性组合物或制备实用的聚酯发泡产品。对其有用的设备是一种螺杆式加工设备,用于将一种物质与
二氧化碳一起连续压缩,以得到临界状态的流体,该设备的挤出螺杆在原料供应部件 X 的旁边有一个真空部件 E、在真空部分 E 之后是压缩部分 F,在压缩部分 F 中,螺杆轴再次变粗,并由一个螺杆组成,螺杆的叶片间距变窄,然后使螺杆的厚度与机筒的外围基本相同,并设有一个孔口部分 L,在孔口部分 L 中,在所述螺杆的表面或周围设有孔口 17。通过孔口的物质的最大流速最好设计为 10 至 1500 厘米/秒。
