Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of twin-screw extruders, and particularly relates to a feeding assembly for a twin-screw extruder. Background Art
[0002] A screw extruder relies on the pressure and shear force generated by the rotation of the screw, enabling the material to be fully plasticized and evenly mixed, and formed through the die. Plastic extruders can be basically classified into twin-screw extruders, single-screw extruders, and rarely seen multi-screw extruders and screwless extruders. Twin-screw extruders are often used in the production process of wire and cable to mix their raw materials.
[0003] However, in the existing twin-screw extruders, plastic raw material particles are generally directly added to the hopper above. Not only does it require operators to manually lift the plastic raw material particles to a certain height, but also adding too many plastic raw material particles at one time will cause blockage, affecting the extrusion efficiency of the plastic.
