There are many types of twin-screw extruders, among which the meshing co rotating twin-screw extruder is a widely used production and processing equipment in the plastic industry. This type of extruder is composed of two interlocking "building block" screws, a barrel, a power device, a temperature control device, etc. It can have multiple feeding ports and vacuum/non vacuum volatilization ports on the body.   The main characteristics of a co rotating twin-screw extruder are as follows. (1) Two screws rotate in parallel and in the same direction, producing uniform shear between the contact area and the barrel, and the strength of this shear can be adjusted through screw combination, spacing design, and other means. (2) The geometric shape and co rotation of the screw block enable the screw to have good material distribution and mixing ability, making it suitable for mixing operations. After the material is softened in the material barrel, due to the opposite direction of the twin-screw at the meshing point, one screw needs to pull the material into the meshing gap, while the other screw pushes it out of the gap. Therefore, the material is transferred from one screw to the other screw here in an "∞" motion. This motion has a high relative velocity at the meshing point, which is very conducive to the mixing and homogenization of the material. The gap in the meshing area is small, and the speed of the threads and grooves at the kneading point is opposite, which has a high shear effect and achieves uniform plasticization. (3) The screw and barrel are both combined. There are many types of threaded components, including conveying components, kneading components, shearing components, reverse threaded components, and pressure boosting threaded components, each playing a different role. According to the needs of material processing, various components are combined together by building blocks, and through optimized design, they can adapt to the processing of various process formula materials. (4) The co rotating twin-screw extruder has reaction capability and is a dynamic reactor. After the material melts in the barrel, a series of chemical reactions such as polymerization and grafting can occur. Reactive extrusion processing is mainly used for polymerization reactions of monomers or oligomers (free radical polymerization, addition polymerization, condensation polymerization, and copolymerization reactions); Controllable crosslinking and degradation of polyolefins; Grafting modification of polymers (functionalization or polar functionalization of polymers to achieve material modification and preparation of compatibilizers); Forced blending modification of multiple materials. It also includes physical modification of materials, such as filling, mixing, toughening, and reinforcement. Basic principles of screw combination   For a twin-screw extruder, the screw is mainly divided into a feeding section, a melting section, a mixing section, an exhaust section, and a homogenization section. Threaded components mainly include functions such as conveying, melting, shearing, material mixing, and residence time control. The threaded components of twin-screw extruders are assembled in a "building block" manner, and can be adjusted according to different production needs in practice. Therefore, screw combination is the key to customizing twin-screw extrusion processes.   The co rotating twin-screw extruder is mainly used for mixing, and the screw combination should consider the performance and shape of the main and auxiliary materials, the feeding sequence and position, the position of the exhaust port, the temperature setting of the barrel, and so on. At the same time, the objects of mixing are very diverse, and reasonable screw combinations are required for each specific mixing process. However, the screw combination of the co rotating twin-screw extruder still has its basic rules to follow.   The following are several basic principles of screw combination. (1) Large lead threads should be used at the feeding port to ensure smooth feeding. (2) Small lead threads should be used in the melting section to establish pressure, thereby compressing and melting the material. Kneading blocks with a misalignment angle of 90 ° can be set to balance the pressure, or kneading blocks with a misalignment angle of 30 ° can be used for preliminary distribution and mixing of the material. Kneading blocks should be set from the middle of the melting section, and attention should be paid to the spacing arrangement of kneading blocks. (3) In the mixing section, the main purpose is to shear, refine, and disperse material particles. The setting of threaded components in this section is very complex and requires designers to have rich practical experience. In this section, kneading blocks with staggered angles of 45 ° and 60 ° are mainly used to enhance shear, supplemented by special elements such as tooth shaped elements or "S" - shaped elements. However, it should be noted that there should not be too many kneading and shearing elements, nor should they be arranged too tightly to avoid excessive shearing. In addition, to enhance the conveying capacity of this section of material, threaded conveying elements should be installed at intervals, that is, the kneading block and the threaded conveying elements should be staggered from each other. (4) Reverse threaded components or reverse kneading blocks should be installed before the exhaust or vacuum port, large lead threaded components should be installed at the exhaust or vacuum port, and small lead threaded components should be installed after the exhaust or vacuum port. (5) In the homogenization section, the thread lead should be gradually reduced to achieve pressurization and reduce the length of the back pressure section. At the same time, attention should be paid to using single head threads and wide ribbed threads to improve the discharge capacity and avoid material spillage.

Extruders are increasingly using underwater pelletizing to produce engineering polymers, including resins such as PET, nylon, and polycarbonate. These resins have "difficult" characteristics such as low viscosity and/or rapid cooling or high melt temperature.   Compared with strip granulation, underwater granulation has the advantages of good particle quality, high degree of automation, and low cost. However, compared to less sensitive commodity resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polystyrene, there is a greater risk of mold freezing when producing engineering resins such as those mentioned in the previous paragraph.   Underwater pelletizers typically use circular dies with 10 to 20 or even hundreds of holes. The system can be designed for compounding anywhere from a few hundred to nearly 20000 pounds per hour. (Even larger pelletizers are used for extrusion production.)     Reasons for mold hole freezing   The diameter of the mold hole is usually 0.125 inches, but for smaller particles, it can be as small as 0.01 inches or as large as 0.20 inches. The output of each hole is approximately 25-100 pounds per hour, but the average output of a 0.125-inch mold hole is approximately 30 pounds per hour.   The key to underwater granulation is to transport enough thermoplastic through the mold holes to keep the holes at the melting temperature of the resin, while the melt and mold head come into contact with water at a temperature several hundred degrees lower. Metal molds are excellent thermal conductors, so unless there is sufficient polymer flow through the mold holes, water will cool the holes and the polymer will solidify within them. However, the processor cannot immediately know that this blockage has occurred.   The problem is that if one or more mold holes are blocked by polymer, the efficiency of the mold head will decrease. Ultimately, blocked holes will affect the flow of surrounding holes, resulting in larger and irregularly shaped finished particles and a decrease in yield. Ultimately, it is necessary to completely shut down the production line to clean the mold holes.   The main reasons for mold freezing are as follows: improper starting sequence of polymer, water flow, and cutter operation; Insufficient heating and insulation of the mold, as well as process fluctuations. Not considering the material formula (resin, filler level, and filler type - heat absorbing or conducting) can also lead to problems. But you cannot change the recipe to please the granulator, it should be designed to run most recipes.   Adjust the start-up process of the granulator   Most mold hole freezing occurs during startup, when the resin, cooling water, and cutter must be started in the correct order. If the resin starts flowing through the mold and the tool engages before the water reaches the mold surface, it will cause smearing and resin blockage outside the holes of the water tank. If water reaches the mold surface before the polymer begins to flow, excessive cooling can cause the pores to freeze.   In early underwater granulation systems, skilled operators manually controlled this sequence. Starting from the early 1990s, automation and control can be achieved through commercial PLC control systems. The polymer diversion valve and process water bypass system enable PLC to more accurately control the timing of polymer and water entering the mold. Granulators manufactured since the mid-1990s offer automatic cutting systems that use hydraulic, pneumatic, and servo motors to control cutting pressure. Therefore, today's fully automated systems can control the startup sequence in a fraction of a second.   Optimize mold design   Once the production line is started and running, most molds can be avoided from freezing by maintaining a very constant flow of material through the mold holes. But some freezing issues are related to the mold design itself.   The mold is heated by a flashlight heater or hot oil. Electric heating will not be completely uniform because the ink cartridges are mainly placed in the ring around the mold holes, near the outer edge of the mold plate. Therefore, the holes around the outside of the die are often hotter than the holes in the center. The mold manufacturer once attempted to add a cylinder at the center of the mold, but the engineering proved to be clumsy   Therefore, cylindrical heaters may not be suitable for large molds or materials with a narrow melting temperature range, such as nylon, which may tend to freeze in the center of the mold.   Compared to cylindrical heaters, oil heating can apply more uniform heat over a larger area. The oil system is configured with up to eight mold zones. But oil heating is more expensive than cylindrical heaters. Oil heating is commonly used in high output production lines of resin manufacturers or large blending plants. Recently, it has been applied on smaller systems to achieve better temperature control.   If the oil valve is blocked, the mold holes in the affected area of the mold will become colder and may freeze, but the rest of the mold will be fine. At the beginning, the output may not change. Similarly, like cylindrical heaters, the problem will manifest as defective particles.   All chips have some type of insulation layer. Most molds use special plates attached in the middle of the mold surface. But the plate may loosen. Then the water flows behind them, cooling the molds and potentially causing freezing.   Another insulation method is to use a "hollow" mold design with gaps containing vacuum. If it is not part of the original template design, it can be retrofitted onto most systems. Vacuum is a good insulator and cannot be damaged like solid insulation boards.     Reduce process fluctuations   Any type of extrusion process interruption or output fluctuation may cause freezing. For example, extruding recycled materials with low packing density can cause fluctuations in the output of the extruder, leading to inconsistent polymer flow and freezing of the mold holes in a random manner. Polymer melt pumps can be used to prevent these fluctuations and provide consistent die flow.   The use of discontinuous skateboard type screen changers can also cause flow interruption and trap air, resulting in temporary loss of polymer flowing towards the mold holes. May cause random freezing of mold holes. The solution is to use a continuous screen changer, which can instantly replace dirty screens without interrupting the process or trapping air.
