Which of the following is a discontinuous polymer processing operation?

  • A.Calendering
  • B.Extrusion
  • C.Film blowing
  • D.Thermoforming

Answer: D

The discontinuous operation is thermoforming.

Thermoforming works cycle by cycle: a heated sheet is clamped, drawn onto a mould by vacuum or pressure, cooled and trimmed, and then the next sheet is loaded. Each part is made in a separate cycle, as in moulding.

Calendering, extrusion and film blowing are continuous: material is fed and product emerges without interruption as a sheet, a profile or a film tube.
