Block type twin screw and barrel
1. Parallel Twin Screw:
Configuration:
This means two screws run side-by-side within the barrel.
Crucially, these screws can be co-rotating (spinning in the same direction) or counter-rotating (spinning in opposite directions). Co-rotating is far more prevalent in polymer processing.
Function:
Twin screws provide excellent mixing, conveying, and pumping capabilities.
Parallel co-rotating screws are particularly effective at:
Compounding: Blending polymers with additives, fillers, and other materials.
Reactive extrusion: Facilitating chemical reactions during processing.
Precise material transport.
2. Block Type Barrel:
Modularity:
The barrel is constructed from individual, interchangeable sections or "blocks."
This allows for:
Customization: Barrels can be configured to match specific process requirements.
Flexibility: Changes to the process can be accommodated by rearranging or replacing barrel sections.
Maintenance: Damaged sections can be easily replaced, minimizing downtime.
Function:
The barrel provides a containment and temperature-controlled environment for the screws and the material being processed.
The modular design allows for the incorporation of features like:
Side feeders: For adding materials at specific points along the barrel.
Venting ports: For removing gases or moisture.
Liquid injection ports: For adding liquids.
3. Screw Elements:
Modular Screw Design:
Similar to the barrel, the screws are assembled from individual screw elements.
These elements can include:
Conveying elements: For moving material along the barrel.
Kneading blocks: For intensive mixing.
Mixing elements: For distributive and dispersive mixing.
Overall Significance of a block type parallel twin screw extruder:
Versatility:
Block-type parallel twin-screw extruders are highly versatile machines capable of processing a wide range of materials.
They are widely used in the plastics, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
Process Control:
The modular design and precise control of processing parameters allow for highly controlled and consistent product quality.
Efficiency:
Twin-screw extruders offer high throughput and efficient processing.
In essence, this type of extruder is a sophisticated and adaptable tool for complex material processing.
