In twin screw extrusion, screw elements are not only conveying components but functional process tools. Different element geometries provide different roles in material transport and processing:
Right-hand conveying elements transport material forward
Left-hand elements generate reverse conveying and backflow
Neutral elements provide no conveying force and mainly affect residence time and filling behavior
Each element type influences filling ratio, residence time, and pressure distribution differently. Especially in kneading zones, material compression directly affects processing performance.
ZHITIAN designs screw element systems based on functional zoning rather than isolated elements, ensuring that each section of the screw performs a clear and controlled role.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|

| Materials | Tool steel, PM-HIP alloys, corrosion-resistant alloys |
| Heat Treatment | Wear and fatigue optimized |
| Configuration | Modular and interchangeable |
| Customization | Available based on process requirements |

Forward, reverse, and neutral elements are combined to control material flow direction, filling degree, and pressure build-up.
Element geometry and combination regulate material residence time, avoiding under-processing or thermal degradation.
Shear intensity varies significantly with element design and arrangement. Optimized forming geometry ensures process stability and material integrity.
Kneading elements play a critical role in mixing efficiency. Parameters such as:
Disc thickness
Disc-to-barrel clearance (gap)
Number of kneading discs
directly influence dispersive and distributive mixing performance.
Only rational combination of different functional elements can achieve optimal processing performance, rather than relying on a single element type.
Functional screw elements are widely used in:
Polymer compounding and modification
Masterbatch production
Reactive extrusion
High-performance mixing processes
Chemical material processing
Food and feed extrusion
They are suitable for both development lines and industrial continuous production systems.
Selection should be based on required conveying behavior, shear intensity, and residence time rather than machine size alone.
Right-hand elements convey material forward, while left-hand elements generate reverse flow and pressure build-up.
Parameters such as disc thickness, clearance, and disc number directly determine dispersive and homogenizing mixing performance.
Yes. Functional design allows precise control of flow, shear, and mixing, ensuring stable product quality.
