Good question! Increasing plastic extrusion output has always been a focus of the industry. The following directions can significantly improve extrusion efficiency and output:

1️⃣ Equipment and screw optimization
Optimization of length-to-diameter ratio (L/D): Increase the screw length-to-diameter ratio (such as from 24:1 → 30:1), increase plasticization and mixing effects, and increase output.

Screw design: Use barrier screws, mixing screws or special screw groove designs (such as corrugated, split flow, etc.) to enhance mixing and material conveying efficiency.

Barrel temperature control: Optimize heating and cooling control, maintain the optimal temperature gradient, and reduce the risk of material decomposition.

2️⃣ Die and die improvement
Flow channel optimization: Reasonable design of the flow channel inside the die to reduce dead corners and pressure loss and avoid dead material accumulation.

Uniform die heating: Prevent the temperature difference of the die from causing unstable flow and ensure uniform extrusion thickness.

3️⃣ Increase screw speed and torque
Select high-torque motors and gearboxes: increase screw speed, thereby increasing production.

Speed ​​increase needs to be cautious: the shear rate needs to be balanced to avoid excessive decomposition of the material.

4️⃣ Material and formula optimization
Optimize the amount of lubricants and processing aids: improve material fluidity, reduce melt viscosity, and increase extrusion rate.

Control moisture and impurities: reduce bubble and impurity blockage, and maintain continuous and stable extrusion.

5️⃣ Intelligent control and monitoring
Introduce PLC and automatic monitoring system: real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure, torque, and fine-tuning of the production process.

Quickly switch formulas: automatically adjust process parameters according to different material requirements to reduce downtime.
