What is the main difference between a single screw extruder and a twin screw extruder?
What is the main difference between a single screw extruder and a twin screw extruder?
- Single screw extruder: Simple structure, lower cost, and suitable for extrusion of single materials. It is mainly used for melting and extrusion of plastics.
- Twin screw extruder: More complex structure and higher cost, ideal for processes such as mixing, compounding, and reactive extrusion, capable of handling multiple materials and high-viscosity materials.
What materials are suitable for a screw extruder?
What materials are suitable for a screw extruder?
- Single screw extruder: Suitable for extrusion of single materials like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and more.
- Twin screw extruder: Suitable for blending and compounding various materials such as engineering plastics (ABS, PC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), biodegradable materials, and more.
What is the production capacity of a screw extruder?
What is the production capacity of a screw extruder?
The production capacity depends on factors such as screw diameter, speed, and material properties. The single screw extruder typically offers a capacity of 0-500 kg/h, while the twin screw extruder can handle 0-2000 kg/h. Specific capacities depend on the equipment model and process parameters.
