Extruder Processing: Comparison of Single- And Twin-Screw Extruders for Optimal Solids Conveying, Melting, and Mixing

by Gregory A. Campbell and Paul G. Andersen

Single-screw or twin-screw extruder? When the need to produce a homogeneous polymer melt occurs in the industrial environment, both product attributes and equipment cost must be evaluated. For many applications both the single and twin-screw extruder will produce the desired homogeneous melt needed to form the product through an extrusion die. Some applications such as dispersive mixing of solids in a polymer matrix are best accomplished in a twin-screw...
