Working Principle

Material Feeding

Raw materials such as polymer pellets, additives, fillers or reinforcing materials are continuously fed into the twin screw extrusion system.

Plasticizing and Mixing

The intermeshing twin screws transport, compress and melt the materials while generating intensive mixing and dispersion effects.

Compounding Process

Additives, fillers or modifiers are uniformly distributed throughout the polymer matrix to achieve the required material properties.

Extrusion Forming

The homogeneous molten polymer is continuously pushed through the die head to form stable extruded strands.

Cooling and Pelletizing

The extruded material is cooled and pelletized into uniform granules for further processing.
