Co-rotating extruders feature screws that rotate in the same direction. This configuration allows for a high degree of shear and intense mixing, making them ideal for processes where uniform dispersion and homogeneity are critical. The co-rotating design also facilitates self-cleaning, reducing the risk of material build-up and ensuring consistent quality.
Advantages of Co-Rotating Extruders
Enhanced mixing and material dispersion. Self-cleaning capabilities reduce contamination. High throughput and efficiency. Better control over residence time.
