Extruder FAQ - Technical Questions
Q: How do I choose the right extruder screw design?
A: The optimal extruder screw design depends on material properties (viscosity, melting point), required mixing intensity, and throughput rates. Common configurations include: (1) Single-stage screws for simple melting, (2) Barrier screws for improved melting, (3) Mixing screws for enhanced homogenization. Our engineers can recommend the best configuration for your specific application.

Extruder FAQ - Operational Questions
Q: What causes extruder surging and how to prevent it?
A: Extruder surging (output fluctuation) typically results from inconsistent material feeding, improper screw design, or temperature variations. Prevention methods include: (1) Using gravimetric feeders for precise material delivery, (2) Ensuring proper screw compression ratio, (3) Maintaining stable barrel temperatures, (4) Regular screw wear inspection. Our technicians can perform surging diagnostics and recommend solutions.
