Накратко на български

Интелигентни алгоритми и нови компоненти за екструдери се тестват за обработка на сложни материали, като например био-нанокомпозити. Това помага за повишаване на ефективността, намаляване на отпадъците и енергийния разход в индустрии като строителството и козметиката.

Development and testing of innovative solutions for the processing of hybrid materials and nanomaterials using artificial intelligence algorithms

The PROMATAI project addresses the critical need for advanced manufacturing solutions in processing complex hybrid materials and nanomaterials. Traditional extrusion technologies often struggle with materials that have unique rheological properties, such as high viscosity or variable particle sizes, leading to energy inefficiency and material waste. Coordinated by the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Polymer Materials (Poland), the consortium includes academic and industrial partners from Poland, Slovakia, Greece, Lithuania, and Bulgaria. The project aims to exchange scientists, strengthen cross-border and cross-sector collaboration, and develop the world’s first “smart extruder” prototype. This innovative machine uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to adjust its internal geometry in real time based on the material’s characteristics. It will improve efficiency, reduce waste and energy consumption, and enable processing of complex materials—ranging from polymers and composites to bio(nano)composites—used in food, cosmetics, packaging, construction, and chemical industries. R&D focuses on three novel extruder components: the Feed Opening Section (FOS), Adjusted Grooved Feed Section (AGFS), and Rotating Barrel Section (RBS). Prototypes will be tested with bio(nano)composite pellets to generate data for machine learning models, enabling flexible, optimized control of extrusion processes. The results will benefit researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry by improving productivity, homogenization, and sustainability. A review of the market and literature confirmed that no similar “smart extruder” exists, ensuring the project’s novelty.

Цел на проекта

PROMATAI project aims to develop a product in the field of testing the extrusion method of nanomaterials/bio(nano) composites using AI algorithms. Prototype will be developed and made of a special design for the Feed Opening Section (FOE), the Adjustable Groove Section (AGFS), the Rotary Barrel Section (RBS) and the additional Plasticizing System (PS) of the single-screw extruder, which will be tested in virtual and real conditions of their operation depending on the size of the introduced part. It is assumed that these improvements will increase the efficiency of the extrusion process, reducing the amount of waste and energy usage and enable usage of new materials. The first prototype in the world of a ""smart extruder"" is planned, which will adjust its geometric elements to the dimensions of the material. Project activities are aimed at significantly strengthening cooperation between industry and academia, creating new and transferring existing knowledge between partners. Project consists of 7 WPs: WP1-4 are focused on the development of innovative extruder elements, including: FOE, AGFS, RBS and the entire plasticizing system. WP5 focuses on networking activities conducted by delegations, including workshops, trainings, and lectures on the topic of the project and the development of skills in the field of R&D infrastructure, competences, digitization and internationalization. WP6 is about the wide dissemination of knowledge and the exploitation of project results (conferences, fairs, publications, IPR, website, social media, outreach to public activities), WP7 is about management and administration of the whole project. PROMATAI is coordinated by Łukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Engineering of Polymer Materials and Dyes (Poland), partners are: Lublin University of Technology (Poland), Technical University of Kosice (Slovakia), University of West Attica (Greece), LPH a.s. (Slovakia), UAB Dirmeta (Lithuania) and Cerca Trova Ltd (Bulgaria).""
