[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of twin-screw extruders, in particular to a high-efficiency cooling device for a twin-screw extruder. Background Art

[0002] The twin-screw extruder is developed on the basis of the single-screw extruder. Due to its good feeding performance, mixing and plasticizing performance, exhaust performance, extrusion stability and other characteristics, it has been widely used in the molding processing of extruded products.

[0003] The temperature of the material extruded by the twin-screw extruder is very high and needs to be immersed in the water cooling pool for cooling in time. However, as the heat exchange between the material and the water body occurs, the temperature of the cold water in the water cooling pool rises, resulting in low cooling efficiency. In addition, the surface of the material is relatively moist after coming out of the water cooling pool, which is not conducive to subsequent granulation. Utility Model Content
