Sichuan Zhongwang Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology-oriented enterprise formed by a group of technicians who were among the first in China to manufacture and apply twin-screw extruders. Over nearly 30 years of manufacturing and applying co-rotating parallel twin-screw extruders, the company has accumulated a wealth of valuable experience. Through its own exploration and by referencing advanced foreign technologies, it has overcome the bottleneck issues in extruder transmission technology. As a result, Zhongwang Technology's extruder products boast advantages such as high torque, high efficiency, low energy consumption, high cost-effectiveness, and low overall production costs. Their main technical indicators far exceed those of domestic peers. Since commercial production began, the company has maintained its leading position in domestic technology as one of the leaders in the field of domestic extruders and has kept in sync with the technical standards of top international extruder equipment manufacturers.

Since the 1990s,Sichuan ZhongwangThe equipment has already been applied in different fields, primarily involving rubber and plastics, petrochemicals, chemicals, sheet and film, composite materials, etc. According to the different requirements of customers regarding output and process flow, we customize models suitable for customers, thus producing higher quality products! Through continuous research and practice, the torque has increased from 8.0 Nm/cm³ in the 1990s to the current 18 Nm/cm³, achieving 18 Nm/cm³ Pro. The minimum clearance on one side of the screw can reach 0.1mm, enabling precision extrusion, and the core technology has reached the world's top level.

Main products

01Large petrochemical complete set extrusion granulation unit

Since 2017, clients such as Dongfang Hongye, Luqing Petrochemical, Hongji Petrochemical, and Haiwei Petrochemical have continued to repurchase our company's large-scale petrochemical extrusion granulation production lines.

02China National Petroleum Jilin Petrochemical Chlorinated Sulfonated Polyethylene Project

Model: YRT-450/20 counter-rotating differential thickener (screw diameter 480mm) + counter-rotating twin-screw (screw diameter 120mm) + co-rotating twin-screw extruder combination for continuous devolatilization, extrusion, and granulation, to reduce the raw material with a solid content of 8% to a final product at PPM level.

03Devolatilization Equipment--Co-rotating Twin-screw Reactive Extruder

Applied to: polymer solvent devolatilization, maleic anhydride grafting, reactive extrusion of special engineering plastics (PI, PPA, PMMA, POE, etc.).

04The processing and manufacturing of large mandrels and barrels is jointly produced by Lanzhou Lanshi Group, a renowned enterprise in China.

Our company uses electroslag remelting (ESR) deoxidized steel ingots to forge with a ten-thousand-ton hydraulic press, employing a flexible forging process to manufacture spindle shafts up to 20 meters in length, thereby solving the issue of spindle strength.

Material benchmarking against German grades, with the most advanced forging process, mandrel specific torque ≥13.6 N·m, performance comparable to German ZSK and Japanese CMP series.

05The processing and manufacturing of large machine barrels

Our company's barrels can use high-quality nitrided steel combined with the laser cladding technology from YaShen University of Technology, with a cladding wear-resistant alloy layer of over 2mm, ensuring a service life of more than 20 years.

06The processing and manufacturing of large imported extruder threaded components and wear parts.

Our company can undertake the processing of threaded blocks with a maximum diameter of 500mm and the localization of imported extruder vulnerable parts. The selection of materials and forging standards (ring forging process) for screw elements are benchmarked against German standards to prevent abnormal wear and extend service life.

07A well-known domestic petrochemical company

The imported ZSK320 large extruder unit had been experiencing gearbox noise and vibration issues, which remained unresolved despite repeated repairs by the original manufacturer and other domestic companies over a period of two years. This resulted in long-term low production capacity. Upon receiving the maintenance task, our company responded immediately and completely resolved the issue in just 13 days, restoring production capacity to normal levels.

08A large foreign petrochemical enterprise

Due to the failure of the imported ZSK177 gearbox which was beyond repair, a special trip was made to China to commission our company to manufacture a replacement gearbox in situ. We formed a professional technical team for design and manufacturing, and dispatched experienced assembly personnel to provide on-site guidance for installation and commissioning. After the equipment was started and put into operation, it achieved 100% of the original factory's production capacity, earning high praise and recognition from the customer.
