Counter-rotating extruders have screws that rotate in opposite directions. This configuration is particularly beneficial for processes requiring gentle mixing and low shear, such as the processing of heat-sensitive materials or polymers. Counter-rotating extruders provide a more stable and controlled environment, making them suitable for specific catalytic applications.
Advantages of Counter-Rotating Extruders
Gentle mixing for heat-sensitive materials. Lower shear forces prevent material degradation. Better control over the flow dynamics of materials. Suitable for specific applications requiring precise control.
