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.

Boronizing treatment of steel screw barrel surface
Screw and barrel are mostly scrapped due to large gap caused by wear, which can not be extruded and injected normally. Few of them fail due to insufficient strength. Especially, in addition to strength, more consideration should be given to structural commonweal and thermal inertia in the design of barrel, and the wall thickness determined by the latter two factors should be far greater than the calculated value of strength conditions

Extruder Screw Design and Repair Process
The extrusion system consists of screw and barrel, which is the "heart" of extrusion work. The screw completes the continuous conveying, plasticizing, homogenizing, constant pressure and quantitative extrusion of plastics in the barrel. The types of screws are: constant pitch gradual change screw, constant pitch depth abrupt change screw, variable depth variable pitch screw, etc. The structure of constant pitch progressive screw is studied as an example. Its main features: the thread pitch of the screw thread is equal, while the depth of the thread groove remains unchanged in the feeding section and homogenizing section, while the depth of the thread groove in the plasticizing section gradually becomes shallow from the depth, which is suitable for extrusion plasticization of various plastics. The progressive screw divides the working length of the screw into three basic functional segments,

How to judge the output of extruder screw?
The output is a main index to evaluate the performance of extruder screw. However, it is not significant to only emphasize the percentage increase in the output of the improved screw compared with the original screw, because the benchmark for comparison is not clear. From the theory of fluid dynamics, we know that the output will be greatly improved if the worn screw is replaced by the screw with smaller screw clearance. In order to accurately reflect the performance of the screw, the following four aspects can be compared.

Share standards for extruder screw performance
Extrusion process is a complex process, which involves many factors. Facts show that it is one-sided to evaluate the performance of extruder screw only according to the productivity. As we all know, if the colleague with high output has high capacity consumption, the screw is not desirable. For another example, if the extrudate has a high temperature rise at the same time of high output, the cooling burden of the main and auxiliary engines will increase. In fact, such screws cannot be used at high speed, and their performance is not much better than that of ordinary screws at low speed.
