Operation Specification for the Twin Screw Extruder

The right way to switch colors and materials:


Stable and efficient production of the twin screw extruder is the long-term pursuit of the industry, and the continuous available machine time is an important indicator to reflect the quality of equipment and production process. However, in reality, due to reasons of material technology or production batch, it is often necessary to constantly change the technology formula or adjust the screw combination. For example, produce one batch of product A first, and then produce another batch of product B.twin screw extruder

1. The batch of the product should correspond to the size of the machine. This seems to go without saying. But many processors cannot work out a great production scheduling. When the twin screw extruder has just produced 500 kilograms of materials, 100 kilograms of waste has also been generated.


2. Write down the operation procedure for cleaning or drawing the screw of the twin screw extruder for each product. This will help the operator to plan the time and eliminate their arguments about how much material will be generated.


3. In order to help the operator, the clean operation tools should be placed around the twin screw extruder. If material is frequently reloaded, then make a table around the extruder, and get everything we need ready.


4. Study the sequence of raw materials and finished products flowing into and out of the operation site. It is well arranged so that the operator expends less effort on moving the vehicle.


5. Make sure the requirements of the next product on the cleaning degree of the twin screw extruder. If you know that your next product requires a thorough manual machine cleaning, don't waste time and materials in cleaning the machine carelessly.


6. If possible, do the production scheduling in accordance with the principle of reducing the cleaning process of the twin screw extruder as much as possible. That means production will be conducted by going from light color to dark color. Instead, you have to make multiple screw adjustment combinations.
