A Twin Screw Extruder is an industrial machine widely used in plastics, rubber, food processing, and chemical industries for mixing, compounding, and shaping materials. It uses two intermeshing screws rotating inside a heated barrel to transport and process material under controlled temperature, pressure, and shear.
Efficient Mixing – Handles both dispersive and distributive mixing well.
High Output & Consistency – Uniform temperature and shear distribution.
Flexibility – Can process a wide range of materials, from polymers to food dough.
Continuous Operation – No need for batch processing interruptions.
Two Screws: Can rotate in the same direction (co-rotating) or opposite directions (counter-rotating).
High Mixing Efficiency: Superior blending compared to single-screw extruders due to intermeshing action.
Precise Temperature Control: Multiple heating/cooling zones for uniform processing.
Self-Wiping Action: Minimizes material buildup and improves cleaning.
Versatile Feeding: Can handle powders, pellets, liquids, or fillers.
Plastics & Polymers – Compounding, coloring, and reinforcing.
Food Industry – Snack pellets, pasta, textured vegetable protein.
Pharmaceuticals – Controlled-release drug formulation.
Rubber & Chemicals – Blending additives and fillers.
