In the extrusion process, the gas to be discharged from the raw material includes three parts: the air brought in between the raw material particles; Moisture adsorbed on granular materials; Gases or liquids contained in raw materials, such as residual monomers, low molecular volatiles and water, etc.

In the extrusion process, the gas to be discharged from the raw material includes three parts: the air brought in between the raw material particles; Moisture adsorbed on granular materials; Gases or liquids contained in raw materials, such as residual monomers, low molecular volatiles and water, etc. If these gases cannot be discharged, in addition to the physical and mechanical properties, chemical properties and electrical properties of the products will be reduced, the surface or temporal part of the products will also have pores, bubbles, scars, dimness and other defects, which seriously affect the appearance of the products, such as the gap will affect the dielectric strength of the cable; Bubbles will make the monofilament unable to stretch; The hard pipe containing water will reduce the pressure borne by the hard pipe; Bubbles and scabs in the plate will cause waste products in vacuum forming. It is generally believed that the content of these ingredients in raw materials before extrusion shall not be greater than 0.2%, and in some cases, for example, when polyester film is drawn, it shall be at least less than 0.02%.
On an ordinary screw, the air brought in by raw materials and the moisture absorbed can escape from the feeding port when the plastic is extruded, or be removed by drying before being added to the feeding port. This process is called pre drying. However, pre drying requires additional drying equipment and consumes considerable power and labor, so the cost will inevitably rise, and the removal effect of some monomers and some high boiling point solvents is not good enough. For some transparent products, the pre drying process increases the chance of raw material pollution. In addition, with the development of extrusion, for plastics (such as polyethylene) with low exhaust requirements in the past, as the screw speed increases, the air entrained by raw materials cannot escape from the feed opening in time, which will also affect the quality of products.
Practice shows that the effect of exhaust extruder is superior. Table 11-1 lists the comparison of exhaust effect between extruder and exhaust extruder.

Sharing the Economic Factors of Extruder Screw Design

For any technical problem, it is totally wrong to ignore the economy of design. In some cases, the rationality of screw design must be analyzed more comprehensively, that is, from the perspective of economy.

Determination of screw groove depth and pump ratio of exhaust screw

Among the parameters of the exhaust screw, the screw groove depth H1 and H2 are the most important, because these two values directly affect the working state of the exhaust screw

Parameters of extruder screw exhaust section

The exhaust performance of the exhaust screw of the extruder is mainly determined by the parameters of the exhaust section, and there are many factors that affect the exhaust effect. The simulation device shown in Figure 14-2 is used to study the exhaust effect of the exhaust screw of the exhaust extruder. The results show that the length of the exhaust section L, the residence time of the molten material in the exhaust section t, and the shear rate of the molten material in the exhaust section γ, Finally, the filling degree of the plastic in the screw groove of the exhaust section (expressed by the filling coefficient F) is directly related to the exhaust effect

Surface treatment and service life of injection molding machine screw

We have emphasized many times that the screw barrel is the most critical and soul part of the injection molding machine. During the injection molding process, plastic raw materials enter the barrel of the injection molding machine from the tail. The screw rotates in the barrel, extrudes and pushes the plastic particles and their fillers, blends and plasticizes in the advance, and injects the screw head into the mold cavity. At this time, the barrel and screw bear certain high temperature and high pressure of different plastics, and the working temperature of the screw of the injection molding machine is also different.

Introduction to the principle of ball screw

Ball screw has been widely used in all electric servo injection molding machine because of its high mechanical efficiency and high compliance performance. The ball screw is a motion pair that uses the ball as the power transmission interface between the screw and the nut to roll. Ball screw is mainly developed for the purpose of machine tool driving device, and its development purpose is to achieve position accuracy and smoothness. Ball screws have been successfully used in precision machinery, automation, various power transmission, semiconductor, medical and aerospace industries.
