Screw extruder is a common plastic processing equipment, widely used in many fields such as plastic molding and food processing. Visualizing the application cases of screw extruder can help us better understand its working principle and application scenarios. Below I will describe a typical application case of screw extruder in plastic product production and provide some visualization concepts.
Plastic pipe production
- Process flow
Raw material preparation: plastic granules or powders are used as raw materials.
Heating and melting: the raw materials are melted by the heater.
Extrusion molding: the rotation of the screw is used to push the molten plastic through a mold (die) of a specific shape.
Cooling and shaping: the extruded plastic passes through a cooling water tank to fix its shape.
Traction cutting: the traction device is used to maintain a constant speed, and the pipe is cut into the required length using a cutter. - Visual example
flow chart: Draw a complete process flow chart from raw material preparation to the final product, clearly showing the location and relationship of each step.
3D animation simulation: Make a 3D animation to simulate the entire extrusion process, including the rotation of the screw, the melting of the plastic, and the extrusion through the mold, so that you can understand the working principle of the screw extruder more intuitively.
Interactive interface: Develop an interactive interface where users can observe the impact on the final product by adjusting different parameters (such as temperature, pressure, screw speed, etc.). - Key technical points
Screw design: The screw’s geometry, aspect ratio, compression ratio and other parameters are crucial to the melting and conveying efficiency of the material.
Temperature control system: Accurate temperature control is the key to ensuring uniform melting of plastics.
Mold design: The shape of the mold directly affects the appearance and dimensional accuracy of the final product. - Actual effect
quality control: Through visualization tools, key indicators in the production process can be monitored in real time, such as temperature distribution, pressure changes, etc., to ensure product quality.
Fault diagnosis: If a problem occurs during the production process, the cause of the fault can be quickly located and corresponding solutions can be taken.
The application of screw extruder is very wide, not only limited to the production of plastic pipes, but also can be used in the manufacture of various plastic products such as films, plates, profiles, etc. Through the above visualization cases, we can better understand and optimize the extrusion process and improve production efficiency and product quality.
