What Are the Main Structural and Performance Characteristics of Twin-Screw Extruders?

Composition of double screw extruder


Double screw extruder is composed of mainframe, electrical control, and single or double connection body or auxiliary machine. The mainframe includes distribution gearbox lubrication system, cooling water system, vacuum system, feeding system, and head, barrel screw, distribution gearbox, and motor, etc.


The control part adopts imported all-digital DC control system, and the feeding motor is controlled by imported frequency converter. The auxiliary machine includes water tank, air duct, and pelletizer.


Main structural performance of double screw extruder


  • The screw of double screw extruder is composed of various screw components with interchangeable properties mounted on the core shaft, and their materials include ordinary nitriding materials and special reinforced materials. The barrel is assembled from multiple open and closed barrels and side-feed barrels. The barrel has ordinary nitriding barrels and special reinforced barrels. The reinforced barrels are all lined with wear-resistant alloy sleeves.

  • This structure is convenient for replacing and reassembling the screw and barrel of the double screw extruder, which can adapt to a wide range of plastic processing fields and reduce maintenance costs by replacing worn screw and barrel components.

  • The double screw extruder is designed by calculation. When the screw meshes, the axial and radial clearances are even, and the processing quality is strictly guaranteed by strict processing technology, which makes the screw have good self-cleaning ability, higher conveying efficiency, uniform residence time, and many other advantages.

  • The double screw extruder can be assembled into a structure with one or more sections of vacuum exhaust, with strong and multiple feeding positions, and side feeding positions. It can add granular materials, powders, flake materials, fluid materials, and other materials, to meet the requirements of high-quality products.

  • The double screw extruder is equipped with a single-screw volumetric feeder. The feeding amount can be continuously and stably adjusted. Other forms of the main ingredient feeder and multi-route metering feeder can also be specially ordered according to the needs, to meet the metering and feeding requirements of various state materials (such as granular materials, bead-shaped materials, dry powders, flocculent materials, etc.).
