Abstract

A processing system serves to process a polymer-filler composition, especially a polyvinylchloride-filler composition, and comprises a multi-shaft screw machine, a first feed device and a second feed device. By means of the first feed device, a polymer and a first proportion of a mineral filler are fed into the multi-shaft screw machine. Subsequently, by means of the second feed device, a second proportion of the mineral filler is fed into the multi-shaft screw machine. The gradual mixing-in of the mineral filler achieves a high proportion of the mineral filler in der polymer-filler composition.

Abstract

In a processing system for processing an energy storage material, a pressure buildup device is disposed downstream of a mixing device. The mixing device serves for the processing of the energy storage material. By means of the pressure buildup device, a pressure of the energy storage material is increased for a subsequent shaping. Because the mixing device and the pressure buildup device are separate from one another, a good mixing effect and a good pressure buildup effect are achieved. The energy storage material can thus be processed in a high quality in a simple and reliable manner. The energy storage material serves in particular for the production of bipolar plates for fuel cells and/or for the production of galvanic energy storage devices.
