The extruder manufacturer generally requests a sample needed for laboratory testing using your product material. This information is vital when determining the right feed requirements, die and screw design, and equipment size.
After the extruder size is determined, the drive options must be considered. A compact design ensures more flexibility when fitting new lines or designing a new facility. Multiple drive options also add to the flexibility. Utilizing a gear motor requires less maintenance and ensures compact designs. Factors like space constraints often dictate drive designs.
Ancillary equipment is crucial for bringing out desired characteristics within the end product. In certain pelletizing applications, extruding onto conveyor belts proves sufficient; however, in other cases, it... less
