During the extrusion process, the speed and feed rate of the screw and barrel need to be coordinated to ensure the stable operation of the extrusion system and the product quality. This coordination is usually adjusted and optimized according to the requirements of the extruded product, the properties of the plastic material, and the performance characteristics of the extruder.
The speed of the screw needs to match the feed rate to ensure smooth conveying and uniform melting of the plastic particles in the screw thread. Generally speaking, when the feed rate increases, the speed of the screw also needs to increase accordingly to maintain a good match between the screw and the plastic particles.
The coordination of the speed and feed rate also needs to consider the molding requirements of the extruded product. For different types of extruded products, the speed and feed rate of the screw need to be adjusted to control parameters such as extrusion output, product thickness and shape, and ensure that the product quality meets the requirements.
Different types of plastic materials have different melting temperatures and fluidity, and the speed and feed rate of the screw need to be adjusted according to their characteristics to ensure that the plastic particles can be fully melted and extruded evenly. The performance characteristics of the extruder will also affect the coordination of the speed and feed rate of the screw and barrel. Some advanced extruder equipment may have an automatic adjustment function, which can automatically adjust the rotation speed and feeding speed according to the requirements of the extruded product and the characteristics of the plastic material, so as to achieve more precise extrusion control and optimization.
