The Use of Twin Screw Extruder

Twin screw extruder is widely used in mixing, compounding, or reacting polymeric materials. The flexibility of twin screw extrusion equipment is specifically designed in order to process formulation. For example, the two screws may be co-rotating or counter-rotating, intermeshing or non-intermeshing. Also, the configurations of the screws may be varied using forward conveying elements, reverse conveying elements, kneading blocks or other designs aimed to attain special mixing characteristics.
