A rubber machine screw barrel is a component of a rubber extrusion machine. It is a cylindrical barrel that houses the screw, which is the component that pushes the rubber material through the machine. The screw is typically made of high-strength steel and it rotates inside the barrel as the rubber is extruded.
The screw barrel plays an important role in the rubber extrusion process as it helps to mix, heat and convey the rubber material through the machine. The barrel is typically heated to maintain a consistent temperature and to help the rubber material flow more easily. The screw and barrel are designed to work together to achieve the desired output and quality of the rubber extrusion.
Rubber machine screw barrels can be made of various materials such as alloy steel, high-chrome steel, nitriding steel and bimetallic alloy steel. The choice of material is based on the rubber material and the desired properties of the extruded product.
The screw barrel is subject to wear and tear due to the high pressure and heat of the rubber extrusion process, and it may need to be replaced or repaired regularly. Regular maintenance and inspections are important to ensure the proper functioning of the screw barrel and the overall performance of the rubber extrusion machine.
