If you're in the medical device industry, you've likely heard of the twin screw extruder. Unlike the single-screw extruders, twin-screw extruders can be configured for specific processes and a wide variety of materials. These extruders have a number of distinct advantages. An intermeshing twin-screw... Read More
An injection moulding barrel screw is used to transfer material between barrel and mold during the general injection molding cycle. This cycle includes filling the barrel with material, plasticizing the material, and then holding the cushion while the material solidifies. The barrel is then closed a... Read More
Screw barrels play an integral role in the plastic extrusion process. Proper assembly and maintenance are crucial for their longevity. Several factors must be taken into account when selecting the correct screw barrel for the job. These factors include the diameter of the screw barrel, the screw spl... Read More
A parallel twin screw and barrel system is ideal for manufacturing PVC profiles and pipes. This system is also great for extrusion foaming products. Its hardness ranges from 65-68 HRC and is made from EN41B steel. In addition, these barrels are available in bi-metal overlay and nitrided-core-treated... Read More
When choosing a Gearbox for a Screw Extruder, you need to take the material's weight into account as well as its type, feed rate and geometry. In order to accommodate this load, there are two types of bearings: radial and thrust. Thrust bearings are generally mounted on the output shaft of the gearb... Read More
