Process units, screw and cylinder
The heart of every extruder is the process unit, consisting of screw and cylinder. Plastics and their applications are becoming ever more diverse. The geometry of the screw must be optimally designed to account for this.
The key parameters are:
•melting behavior
•throughput
•Temperature profile over the screw length
•Heating and cooling capacities
•power consumption
The design of the screw geometry for the respective plastics is based on the latest technological findings. SKETmatik process units are optimally designed by us for your applications.
Through the use of modern screw geometries, even old extruders can be upgraded to more powerful extruders. Performance increases of 100% with an improved melt quality can be realized in individual cases.
