This article explains the advantages of side vacuum exhaust systems in plastic extrusion. Unlike traditional top-mounted systems, side vacuum systems prevent material overflow by positioning the vacuum port laterally, improving process stability and reducing maintenance. It also clarifies that a stable negative pressure—not higher vacuum strength—is key to effective degassing. Factors such as temperature control, screw speed, and screw design also significantly impact performance. The side vacuum system is especially suitable for high-volatility materials where reliability is critical.
