Conical Twin Screw Extruder

A conical twin screw extruder is a type of plastic extruder that is widely used in the plastics industry for the production of a variety of plastic products. This machine consists of two intermeshing screws that are arranged in a conical shape. The screws rotate in opposite directions, which creates a shearing force that helps to melt and mix the plastic material. Conical twin screw extruders are known for their high output rates and excellent mixing capabilities. They are used for a wide range of applications, including the production of PVC pipes, profiles, sheets, and films. The conical design of the extruder allows for a gradual increase in pressure and temperature, which is beneficial for processing heat-sensitive materials. One of the key advantages of a conical twin screw extruder is its versatility. It can be used with a variety of materials, including rigid and flexible PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, and other thermoplastics. Additionally, conical twin screw extruders are easy to operate and maintain, making them a popular choice for plastic extrusion manufacturers around the world.
