The six-wing synchronous varying clearance rotors which have been designed for the mixing of short fiber-rubber composite material have special structure, and considering the characteristic of the short fiber-rubber composite material, the flow situation of mixed rubber is very complex. However, the flow field of the six-wing synchronous varying clearance rotors can be analyzed by ADINA. So, the flow situation and mixing situation of the mixed rubber can be analyzed and judged by the FEA results such as the pressure field, viscosity field, shearing force field and velocity field.

In recent years, rubber composites reinforced by short fibers has been researched deeply, because of its good performances such as higher wear resistance, higher cut resistance and so on. Some research results indicated that if short fibers get orientation in rubber composites, the performances of rubber products could be promoted greatly. But how to make short fibers get orientation in rubber matrix during extrusion is still a real problem. And there are many parameters affect the short fibers orientation. So, in this paper, the effects of die structure including expansion-die and dam-expansion-die on extrusion flow field of short fiber and rubber composite material during extrusion process has been researched by Polyflow. And the FEA results about the pressure field, velocity field and the velocity vector of the rubber composites flow field indicate that, comparing with expansion-die and the dam-expansion-die, the latter one is better for the extrusion process of rubber composites and making short fibers get radial orientation in rubber matrix.

A new type of six-wing synchronous rotor has been designed and manufactured for mixing requirements of the short fiber-rubber composite material. During the manufacturing process of the composite material, different addition proportions of the short fibers have been used. The physical and mechanical performances of the short fiber-rubber composite material have been investigated. The new type rotor meets the mixing requirements of the short fiber-rubber composite material, with the best addition proportion of the short fibers.

During the extruding process of short fiber-rubber composite material, screw speed is an important factor which influences the orientation of short fibers, as well as the physical and mechanical properties of short fiber-rubber composite material. The effects of different screw speeds on physical and mechanical properties of short fiber-rubber composite material have been studied by experimental study. In the experiments, the screw speeds were 10rpm, 15rpm, 20rpm, 25rpm and 30rpm respectively. The experimental results indicated that when the screw speed was 15rpm, the physical and mechanical properties of short fiber-rubber composite material are better.

The structure of rotors is an important factor, which impacts the quality of the mixed rubber. For the short fiber-rubber composite material, the structure of the rotors is most important. Through the experiments study, the mixing performances of four-wing synchronous rotor, six-wing synchronous rotor and new type of six-wing synchronous varying clearance rotor have been studied. The experimental results indicated that the mixing performance of the new type rotor is much better than the four-wing and six-wing synchronous rotor for the mixing of short fiber-rubber composite materials.

Rotor Speed is an important factor which impacts the mixing process and quality of mixed rubber greatly. The effects of different rotor speeds on manufacturing process of short fiber-rubber composite material have been studied by experimental study. In the experiments, the rotor speeds were 50rpm, 60rpm, 70rpm and 80rpm respectively. The experimental results indicated that the mixed rubber after vulcanized had better physical and mechanical properties as the rotor speed was 70rpm. So the rotor speed that is 70rpm has been chosen for manufacturing short fiber-rubber composite material.

Filling factor and polyester short fiber addition impact the mixing process and performances of mixed rubber greatly. The effects of filling factor and polyester short fiber addition on mixing short fiber-rubber composite material have been studied by experimental study. And according to the experimental results, at the condition of filling factor was 0.6 and polyester short fiber addition was 3, the performances of mixed rubber were best.

Combining with Jeffery equation and mechanics model of fixed point of Euler rigid body, research was done to study the mechanism and method of the short fiber radial orientation and characteristics of movement in tread extrusion process. The influence of tension flow field and shear flow field in flow channel on short fibers orientation has been systemically analyzed by flow characteristics of the tread during the extrusion process and combining with Jeffery equation and mechanics model of fixed point of Euler rigid body. The result show that the expansion ratio and the expanding angle of cross section are the key factors to determine the radial orientation of short fiber. Mathematical model of short fiber radial orientation was established. The extrusion die, which has a hinder dam by adopting such principle has been designed. The result also show that the best expansion ratio was 3-4, obtaining the average orientation angle between 70o-80o. and the rationality of the radial oriented mechanism and the mathematical model are verified.

Extrusion and molding is one of the most important manufacturing processes of short fiber-rubber composite material. In order to be used to tire tread, the short fibers in rubber are wanted to be radial orientated. But the orientation of short fibers depends on the die structure, and the performances of short fiber-rubber composite material depend on the radial orientation degree of short fibers. So, the die structure has been studied by experiments in order to get a proper die structure for manufacturing of short fiber-rubber composite material. The experimental results indicate that the proper die structure parameters are: the molding length is 15mm, the molding height is 9mm, the channel length is 75mm, the channel height is 12mm and the channel angle is 135º.
