A: A screw type extruder uses a rotating screw to push materials through a barrel, applying heat and pressure to melt and shape polymers. It is widely used in plastics, food, and chemical industries for continuous processing.
A: Twin screw extruders offer superior mixing efficiency, higher throughput, and better handling of heat-sensitive materials. Their dual-screw design ensures consistent material homogenization and flexibility in processing complex formulations.
A: Conical twin screw extruders excel in processing PVC, wood-plastic composites, and high-viscosity materials. Their tapered screw design reduces shear stress, making them ideal for sensitive or abrasive materials.
A: A conical twin screw extruder has screws that taper in diameter, reducing shear and energy consumption, while parallel twin screws maintain a consistent diameter. Conical designs are better for heat-sensitive or high-friction materials.
A: Regular screw and barrel inspections, cleaning to prevent material buildup, and lubrication of bearings are essential. For twin screw extruders, monitoring wear on screw elements ensures consistent performance and longevity.
