Screw elements are the core functional parts mounted onto the shafts inside the barrel of a parallel co-rotating twin-screw extruder. They determine how material is transported, mixed, melted, and pressurized along the extruder's length.
Item | Functions |
---|---|
Conveying Elements: | Primarily transport material forward (pumping action) |
Kneading Blocks (Kneading Elements) | Provide intense mixing, shearing, melting, and dispersive mixing |
Reverse Conveying Elements | Restrict flow, create back pressure, increase fill level upstream, and enhance mixing efficiency |
Specialty Elements | Primarily enhance distributive mixing (blending without high shear) |
The specific type, length, pitch/angle and sequence of screw elements determine the extruder's performance for a given material and process (mixing quality, melting rate, devolatilization efficiency, pressure build-up, output rate). Configuring the screw profile correctly is crucial for optimal results.
