This article explains the structure and function of extruder screws, which are divided into three main zones: the feeding zone, where solid resin is transported and preheated; the compression zone, where the resin melts through external heating and shear heat; and the metering zone, which ensures uniform extrusion. Additionally, the article discusses darmage(a mixing section), screw elements used in twin-screw extruders, the compression ratio affecting resin flow and pressure, and the barrel, which houses the screw and facilitates heat transfer. Proper screw design is essential for optimizing resin plasticization, mixing, and extrusion efficiency.

This article explores the structure, types, and functions of extruder screws, which are essential in resin processing. It distinguishes between single-screw and twin-screw extruders, highlighting their respective advantages in mixing and production efficiency. The document also discusses different screw designs, such as full-flight and mixing (darmage) screws, and their impact on resin blending and production output. The key takeaway is that selecting the right extruder screw depends on the specific application and desired balance between mixing efficiency and production capacity.

Material overflow at the exhaust port during the TPE pelletizing process can impact production efficiency and product quality. The main causes include improper equipment configuration, inadequate temperature control, and poor filter management. To prevent overflow, manufacturers should ensure the feeding speed matches the main extruder speed, adjust the screw-barrel clearance, and install reverse conveying elements. Temperature should be precisely controlled to avoid incomplete plasticization or excessive material fluidity. Regularly replacing or cleaning filters and selecting appropriate filter apertures can also help prevent clogging and overflow. Implementing these measures ensures stable production and high-quality TPE pellets.
