Precise extruder temperature control is the backbone of high-quality extrusion. Learn how barrel zone management affects polymer melting, prevents material degradation, and ensures consistent output.
Uneven mixing and poor dispersion in PVC compounding can compromise product quality and increase waste. Learn how proper screw configuration, optimized barrel temperatures, and precise feeding rates can make a dramatic difference.
If your extruder motor amps are dropping, it could be a sign of feeding issues, screw wear, or electrical faults. This step-by-step guide explains the root causes, troubleshooting methods, and preventive practices to keep your twin-screw extruder running smoothly in PVC and UPVC production.
An extruder surge can be a critical and costly problem for any plastic manufacturing plant. This guide explores the root causes, from inconsistent feeding and screw wear to faulty temperature controls, and provides a clear, step-by-step troubleshooting checklist to help you safely get your production line back on track.
