Twin-Screw Extruders
The active part of the machine consists of 2 identical co-rotating and intermeshing screws, hence the name "twin screw extruder".
The screws are mounted on shafts, supported by bearings and rotate inside a fixed closed housing called "barrel".
To adapt this equipment to different industrial applications, the screws, which perform most of the work of transporting, conveying, mixing, compressing, kneading or shearing of raw materials, have been designed to be totally modular. Their composition, basically screw segments are stacked one beside another on a splined shaft, can be rapidly modified depending on the products to be processed and the
final product desired. Process department would help you in those compositions; CLEXTRAL technical pecialists to choose the best metallurgy according to the raw materials abrasion and corrosion properties.
The twin screw technology has the advantage of creating continuous process, which is both flexible and easy to automatize. The multifunctionality of this technology improves the compactness of the equipment, reduces the investment costs, often uses far less water and allows the use of greater diversity of raw materials.
This continuous process machine has multiple functions: conveying, melting, shearing, mixing, cooking, cooling, defibering, washing,bleaching, shaping... according to the industrial applications.
