Instruction of Building Block Parallel Twin Screw Extruder
Dec 18,2024
Building Block Twin Screw:It is composed of screw elements with different numbers and functions, which are installed on a keyed or hexagonal mandrel according to certain requirements and sequence. According to the processed materials and different process requirements, different quantities and different types of screw components and their best combinations can be selected for extrusion processing. In this way, limited screw elements can be used to meet different requirements through different combinations, thus solving the contradiction between the versatility of processing needs and the specificity of the machine.
(1) Screw combination
The screw of twin-screw extruder generally adopts building blocks or combined types in mechanical structure.This makes the screw configuration, barrel structure, length-diameter ratio, the position and number of the feeding port and vacuum exhaust port of the twin-screw extruder need to be adjusted according to the changes in the material system and process requirements, in order to achieve the unity of universality and specificity.
Twin-screw extrusion process: feeding, solid conveying, melting, mixing, exhaust, conveying and other functional segments。
Different functional sections require different local screw configurations to adapt to them and achieve different functions. The design of screw combination configuration is an important and difficult issue, because it is related to many factors, such as the properties of the processed materials and the formulation design, the operating conditions and the performance of the screw elements. This combination is also a special technology and know-how. There is no formula to follow. Generally, it is necessary to understand the performance of various screw elements and material properties, and design through a combination of experience, theory and experiment.
(2)Screw elements
If the material conveying process in a twin-screw extruder is divided into solid conveying zone, melting zone and melt conveying zone like the conveying process in a single-screw extruder, then corresponding to the phase change of the material during the extrusion process, a whole screw can be decomposed into different functional segments, and different functional segments use the same geometric structure to complete their functions. The screw segments that can achieve different functions are called screw elements. According to the different functions achieved, screw elements can be divided into conveying elements (composed of forward thread elements, with different numbers of screw heads and leads), pressure building elements (mainly reverse thread elements), shearing elements (kneading disks and their combinations), mixing elements (mainly toothed disk elements), etc.
