As an important plastic processing equipment, the twin-screw extruder has a wide range of applications in modern industry. This equipment is suitable for various types of polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polycarbonate, etc., and can manufacture pipes, sheets, films, fibers, profiles, spiral shells, injection molds, and daily necessities. This article will discuss the importance of twin-screw extruders in plastic processing from three aspects: structure, working principle, and application areas.
The twin screw extruder spare parts are a pair of parallel rotating screws, barrels, deformers, gearboxes, etc. The screw is the core component of the equipment and consists of a booster, feeding section, mixing section, compression section, plasticizing section, and discharging section. The gap between the two screws is called the flow channel, which converts the polymer into a uniform melt through this flow channel.
The extruder machine working principle can be divided into four steps: material feeding, transportation, mixing and melting, and extrusion. Next, we will explain its working principle in detail.
Material Feeding: Send the raw material to the hopper or input it into the screw feeding port.
Transportation: The two screws rotate in opposite directions, transferring the solid material from the feeding section to the discharging end.
Mixing and Melting: When the screw rotates, the material shears and rubs inside the flow channel, melts and mixes together.
Extrusion: Extrude the molten material through the die head for shaping.
In the plastic processing industry, the twin-screw extruder plays a vital role as a key technology. It is widely used in the production of various plastic products such as profiles, pipes, sheets, films, fibers, etc. It can also produce high-strength, high-toughness, and high-transparency polymer materials, greatly improving the quality and reliability of plastic products.
In addition, twin-screw extruders can also be applied in the fields of medical equipment, communication devices, etc. In the medical equipment industry, it is widely used in the production of high-quality polylactic acid (PLA) materials, which are used to manufacture medical devices such as heart stents, screws, and needle tubes. In the field of communication devices, it can be used to produce communication products such as optical cables and cables.
In conclusion, the twin-screw extruder plays a crucial role in the plastic processing industry and has a wide range of applications. With the continuous progress of technology, we have reason to believe that it will play an increasingly important role in future development.
