Process and Structure of Screw Extruder
Extrusion molding, also known as press molding, is a molding method that heats and melts the polymer solid material into a melt, and uses the extrusion effect of the screw to push the viscous fluid material through the die to form a continuous body with a cross-sectional shape similar to the die shape. The corresponding equipment is called a screw extruder. Screw extruder extrusion process Material (granules or powder) – added to the extruder – heated and transported forward – the material becomes a melt and is extruded – the melt enters the die head for molding – the molding sleeve is molded – cooled in the cooling tank – hauled – cut (or coiled) Classification of screw extruder According to the number of screws, it can be divided into single-screw extruder and multi-screw extruder; According to whether it can be vented, it can be divided into venting extruder and non-venting extruder; According to the presence or absence of screws, it can be divided into screw extruder and screwless
