Twin screw extruders intermeshing counterrotating

The closely intermeshing twin-screw extruders, both counterrotating (e) and corotating (f), can best be modeled as series of C-shaped chambers. Due to the rotation of the screws these chambers transport the material from hopper to die, while...

The twin-screw injection molding extruder is an injection molding machine that is capable of both blending/compounding and extrusion in one step. Because it is a one step process, the fibers never go through the entire extrusion process as well as the pelletization that limits the fiber size, but are blended into the molten plastic before injection. The screw part of this machine is based on a non-intermeshing, counterrotating twin-screw extruder (Chapter 5). One of the screws in this machine is capable of axial movement and has a non-return valve on the end. This action enables the screw to inject and mold parts.
