====== Transition Elements ======


===== Transition Elements =====

While defining **Transition kneading elements** a few aspects are to be considered:
  * In order to define kneading blocks completely, the **Number of discs** of one kneading block is to determine in addition to **Length** and **Diameter**.
  * Furthermore, the **Staggering angle** has to be entered for the discs. The staggering angle is only permitted in the range of

$$-\frac{180°}{i} \leq \text{Versatzwinkel} \leq \frac{180°}{i}$$

with i as **Number of flights** of the element. 2-3 describes a transition element with double-flighted to triple-flighted construction, and 3-2 vice versa. A negative angle identifies a reconveying kneading block, in contrast positive angle characterizes a conveying kneading block. Neutral kneading blocks are indicated by a Staggering angle of $$\frac{180°}{i}$$. The transition angle $$\alpha'$$ describes the staggering of the last disc.
