[0003] As a traditional plastic processing method, extrusion technology has gone through decades of development. The earliest extruder was a single-screw extruder, which transported the plastic raw materials from the feeding section to the extrusion head through a screw and formed the required cross-sectional shape at the extrusion head. With the growing demand for plastic products, twin-screw extruders came into being. Compared with single-screw extruders, twin-screw extruders have higher production efficiency and wider applicability, so they have been widely used.

[0026] PVC counter-rotating twin-screw extruder is an important plastic processing equipment. Its working principle involves complex mechanical operation, thermodynamic process and plastic processing technology. The following will introduce its working principle in detail.

[0027] 1. Plastic raw material supply: The operation of the extruder starts with the supply of plastic raw materials. After pretreatment, the plastic particles are input into the feeding section 6 of the extruder through the feed pipe 3.

[0028] 2. Heating and melting: When the plastic particles enter the feeding section 6, the heating inner barrel 4 begins to work, and the heating system in the heating inner barrel 4 softens the plastic particles and gradually melts them; in the melting section 7, under the rotation of the twin screws, the plastic particles gradually form a uniform melt. This process is called plastic melting.

[0029] 3. Plastic mixing and homogenization: Next, the molten plastic passes through the homogenization section 8, where the design and structure of the twin screws allow the plastic to be evenly mixed and heated. During this process, high-pressure gas is discharged to the outside through small holes, which are set above the front ends of the protective upper barrel 2 and the heating inner barrel 4.

[0030] 4. Extrusion formation: After the plastic melt passes through the homogenization section 8, it enters the extrusion head of the extruder and is output to the outside.

[0031] 5. Cooling and solidification: Once extruded, the plastic product enters the cooling area, where cooling water or other cooling media are usually used to quickly cool the plastic to promote its solidification and stabilization. At this stage, the size and shape of the product are basically finalized, but still require further handling and processing.

[0032] 6. Product cutting and processing: Finally, the extruded product is cut by cutting equipment or other subsequent processing equipment to meet the final product requirements. This may include steps such as cutting to length, surface treatment, packaging, etc., and finally obtain plastic products that meet the requirements.

[0033] Summary: PVC counter-rotating twin-screw extruder converts raw materials into plastic products of desired shape through continuous processing steps such as heating, melting, mixing and extrusion. Its working principle includes heating and melting of plastics, stirring and conveying of twin screws, molding of extrusion heads and subsequent cooling and processing. These steps cooperate with each other to ensure the smooth operation of the extruder and the stability of product quality.
