At present, the structure of the conditioner for the extruder is basically a single-axis fin type, a double-axis differential fin type, a quality preservation device, etc., to achieve continuous pre-maturation or pre-gelatinization of the material. The common disadvantages of the existing conditioner are: the feeding of the material depends on frequency conversion speed regulation, and the instantaneous hourly production, shift production and production loss cannot be accurately measured.
