A parallel twin screw extruder is a machine featuring two screws that rotate inside a cylindrical barrel, with the screws positioned parallel to each other. These extruders are widely used in industries such as plastics, chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals for processes like mixing, compounding, and shaping materials.
Key Features:
1. **Parallel Screw Design**: In a parallel twin screw extruder, the screws are placed side by side with equal diameters and lengths. This setup allows for better control over material flow and mixing, offering more consistent and uniform output.
2. **High Mixing Efficiency**: The parallel configuration provides excellent material blending, making it ideal for processes where uniformity is critical, such as polymer compounding, where additives must be evenly distributed.
3. **Versatile Processing Capabilities**: Parallel twin screw extruders can handle a variety of materials, including plastics, rubber, food ingredients,…
