Product catalog summary
Overview: The Nordson XALOY Fusion™ II screw is an advanced version of the original Fusion™ screw, designed to enhance chaotic mixing while maintaining productivity benefits such as faster plastication and lower melt temperatures. It features two barrier zones, with the second zone having grooves in the primary flights to improve mixing efficiency.
Specifications: The Fusion™ II screw is patented under U.S. patent no. 7,014,353 and is designed for use in various processes including injection molding, blown film, sheet extrusion, blow molding, profile, and pipe. It is suitable for materials such as ABS, PP, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, MDPE, PET, and PLA.
Performance Benefits: The Fusion™ II screw offers increased production rates, improved product quality, lower melt temperatures, and reduced drive motor load. It can increase plasticating rates by 15% and reduce melt temperatures by up to 10ºC compared to standard mixing screws.
Energy Efficiency: The screw provides energy cost savings through efficient use of available horsepower, processing more than 10 lb/hr/hp for certain materials. A recommended "hump" type barrel zone temperature profile optimizes performance.
Temperature Profile Example: For processing a .35MI HDPE, the recommended temperature profile is: Feed: 120°F, Barrier Section: Z1=350°F, Z2=460°F, Z3=440°F, Z4=420°F, Z5=400°F.
Graphical Data: The document includes graphical data illustrating output and power efficiency, showing improvements in processing efficiency and energy savings.

Increase Production Fusion™ II Screw Superior Mixing, High Productivity Improve Product Quality Lower Melt Temperature Lower Drive Motor Load The Nordson XALOY Fusion™ II Screw The Nordson XALOY Fusion™ II screw delivers enhanced chaotic mixing while retaining the productivity benefits of faster plastication and lower melt temperature provided by Which Materials? The Nordson XALOY Fusion™ II screw has already proven to deliver benefits in processing: ABS PP HDPE LDPE LLDPE MDPE PET PLA the original Fusion™ screw. Like the original Fusion™ screw, the Fusion™ II has two barrier zones. The first melts and meters the material forward to a homogenizing transition zone. This zone is followed by a second barrier zone with an undulating root profile providing intensive, chaotic mixing. The key difference between the Fusion™ II screw and earlier models is that primary flights in the second barrier zone have grooves. The new design is covered by U.S. patent no. 7,014,353, and has Which Processes? The Nordson XALOY Fusion™ II screw is available for the following processes: Injection Molding Blown Film Sheet Extrusion Blow Molding Profile Pipe also been applied for international protection throughout the world, in Asia, Europe For other process applications consult us for a screw design recommendation. The grooves in the ights allow materials The Fusion™ II delivers the same productivity benefits in adjacent melt channels to mix together, as the earlier design. In injection molding, extrusion thus enhancing the intensive, chaotic and blow molding, the Fusion™ II can deliver increases mixing action produced by the screw’s in plasticating rate of 15 percent and melt temperature reductions of up to 10ºC compared with standard This further improves the dispersion of color and mixing screws. additives in the melt and enhances melt homogeneity.
