Do / Di = Major diameter of the screw sleeve / Minor diameter of the screw sleeve

Do / Di = Major diameter of the insert / Minor diameter of the insert


Do / Di = Major diameter of the insert / Minor diameter of the insert
Do / Di = Major diameter of the insert / Minor diameter of the insert
Do / Di = Major diameter of the insert / Minor diameter of the insertIn the extruder process, a higher torque factor is not necessarily better. Through in-depth research, Koah Equipment found that although extruders with high torque factors have higher screw fill rates and production capacity, as well as lower specific mechanical energy, they may also have adverse effects on mixing quality and devolatilization efficiency. Therefore, in equipment design, Koah Equipment focuses on balancing the torque factor with process requirements to ensure that products can still maintain excellent mixing quality and devolatilization efficiency under conditions of low shear rate and low-temperature melting.
