The sheet extruder screw is a core component of plastic sheet production equipment. Its design directly affects the plasticization of the material and the quality of the finished product. The following is a summary of key information:

1. Screw Structure and Function

（1）Three-Stage Design

• Feeding Section (Conveying Section): Equally spaced and equal-depth screw threads are responsible for material conveying.
• Compression Section (Transfer Section): The screw grooves feature a gradually varying depth, achieving material compression and melting.
• Homogenizing Section (Metering Section): Equally spaced shallow grooves ensure uniform melt extrusion.
• Some models utilize a twin-screw design, which enhances mixing efficiency through counter-rotation and is suitable for high-viscosity materials (such as TPE and EVA).

（2）Material and Processing:

• Commonly used is 38CrMoAlA nitrided steel, which is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Some models feature a dual-alloy surface treatment for extended life.
• Conical twin-screw designs (such as those used in PE sheet extruders) forcefully extrude powders, reducing the risk of material decomposition.
  

2. Technical Parameters and Model Selection

• Compression Ratio: 3-4:1 is recommended for polyolefins (such as PP and PE) and amorphous materials (such as ABS).
• Temperature Control: The mold temperature must be 5-10°C higher than the barrel temperature. The working surface roughness of the three rollers must be ≤0.2μm to ensure sheet surface quality.
• Application Scenarios:Single-screw extruders are suitable for conventional sheet materials (such as PP and PS). Twin-screw extruders are suitable for high-performance compounding (e.g., EVA automotive interior parts and PLA, a biodegradable material).

3. Maintenance Tips

• Regularly check the screw for wear and avoid scratching the roller surface with hard objects.
• When cleaning, use copper tools to prevent scratching the nitrided surface.
