Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of plastic production. Specifically, it relates to a feeding device for a twin-screw extruder used to produce white masterbatch with a very high titanium dioxide content. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of a twin-screw extruder, the feeding system plays a crucial role. Especially when dealing with materials with a high titanium dioxide content, the feeding process directly affects the production quality and capacity. Usually, during the material aggregation and transportation process, we often encounter the problem of material accumulation. This accumulation phenomenon is particularly obvious in materials containing a high amount of inorganic substances, bringing many challenges to production.

[0003] The main reason for material accumulation lies in the floating dust and air pressure problems during the material feeding process. Specifically, a certain amount of floating dust is generated when the material is fed. These floating dust may cause the air pressure of the material to be unable to be discharged in time during the aggregation process. The accumulation of air pressure makes the material present a floating state, making it unstable and uneven when transported into the twin-screw extruder body. Such a situation not only affects the material transportation speed but also may have a negative impact on the quality of the final product. With the increasing market demand for materials with a high titanium dioxide content, relying solely on the feeding method of the main machine can no longer meet the requirements of production speed and dispersion. The processing of materials with a high titanium dioxide content requires a more precise and efficient feeding system to ensure that the materials can be evenly and quickly transported into the extruder, thus ensuring the production stability and the quality of the final product.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing feeding system of the twin-screw extruder to meet the production requirements of a very high titanium dioxide content. Through these improvements, the problem of material accumulation can be effectively reduced, and the production efficiency can be improved, thus meeting the market demand for high-quality products. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a feeding device for a twin-screw extruder used to produce white masterbatch with a very high titanium dioxide content, which can reduce material accumulation and accelerate the processing speed.

[0006] The utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] The utility model provides a feeding device for a twin-screw extruder for producing white masterbatch with ultra-high titanium dioxide content. The feeding device includes a twin-screw extruder body, a main feeding port, side feeding ports, and a first stirring assembly. The main feeding port is arranged on the upper top surface of the twin-screw extruder body. Two side feeding ports are arranged side by side on the side wall of the twin-screw extruder body. A side feeder is arranged at the side feeding port. The side feeder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the twin-screw extruder body. The inside of the side feeder is communicated with the inside of the twin-screw extruder body through the side feeding port. A hopper is fixedly connected to the side feeder. The inside of the hopper is communicated with the inside of the side feeder. Another hopper is arranged at the main feeding port. The hopper arranged at the main feeding port is fixedly connected to the upper top surface of the twin-screw extruder body and is communicated with the inside of the twin-screw extruder body. The twin-screw extruder body is fixedly connected with the first stirring assembly. The first stirring assembly is used for stirring the materials entering the inside of the twin-screw extruder body. The side feeder is used for feeding materials from the side of the twin-screw extruder body.

[0008] The technical effects of the feeding device for a twin-screw extruder for producing white masterbatch with ultra-high titanium dioxide content provided by the utility model are as follows: By setting the main feeding port and two side feeding ports to carry out cooperative feeding at the same time, the mixing process of the materials in the extruder is more uniform. The twin-screw extruder body can make the materials be strongly sheared and mixed in the extruder. The cooperative use can reduce the loss caused by uneven distribution of the materials, improve the utilization rate of raw materials. The cooperative feeding of the main feeding port and the side feeding ports can avoid the accumulation of materials and speed up the processing speed. The side feeder can provide more feeding space and mixing opportunities. Two side feeders can balance the material flow in the twin-screw extruder body and reduce the problem of unstable flow caused by single feeding at the main feeding port. By setting the twin-screw extruder body, it can avoid the floating and accumulation of materials, and can ensure the large-scale, rapid and uniform transportation of materials. The side feeder has a certain length-diameter ratio, which ensures that the materials are evenly mixed and has a partial shearing and mixing effect, effectively improving the dispersion effect of titanium dioxide.

[0009] On the basis of the above technical solution, the feeding device for a twin-screw extruder for producing white masterbatch with ultra-high titanium dioxide content of the utility model can be further improved as follows:

[0010] Wherein, the first stirring assembly includes a first motor and a screw rod. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod. The first motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the twin-screw extruder body. The screw rod penetrates through the outer wall of the twin-screw extruder body and extends into the inside of the twin-screw extruder body. The screw rod is rotatably connected to the twin-screw extruder body.

[0011] Further, the side feeder includes a feeding extruder and a second stirring assembly. The feeding extruder is fixedly connected to the twin-screw extruder body through the side feeding port. The interior of the feeding extruder is in communication with that of the twin-screw extruder body. The second stirring assembly includes a second motor and a stirrer. The second motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding extruder. One end of the stirrer is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. The stirrer penetrates through the feeding extruder and extends into the interior thereof. The stirrer is rotatably connected to the feeding extruder. A plurality of stirring blades are provided on the stirrer.

[0012] Further, the hopper includes a hopper body, a feeding pipeline, and a first exhaust pipe. The lower bottom surface of the hopper body is fixedly connected to the feeding extruder. The feeding pipeline and the first exhaust pipe are fixedly connected to the upper top surface of the hopper body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above improvement scheme are as follows: By providing the first exhaust pipe, the air in the hopper can be discharged, avoiding the floating of materials, which can ensure that the materials will not be stratified or uneven due to the presence of air during the transmission and processing, thereby improving the overall processing quality and efficiency. In addition, the exhaust pipeline can also reduce potential problems caused by gas accumulation, such as material blockage or poor flow.

[0014] Further, the hopper body is of a funnel-shaped structure.

[0015] Further, a heat insulation sheath is provided at the connection between the side feeder and the twin-screw extruder body.

[0016] Further, two second exhaust pipes are fixedly connected to the upper top surface of the twin-screw extruder body. The two second exhaust pipes respectively correspond to the positions where the two side feeders are installed. A filter element is provided inside the second exhaust pipe. One end of the second exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the twin-screw extruder body. The other end of the second exhaust pipe is sleeved with a stainless steel straight tube. The suction device is connected to the second exhaust pipe through the stainless steel straight tube.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above improvement scheme are as follows: By providing the second exhaust pipe, the volatile substances generated during the extrusion process can be effectively discharged, making the molding of the materials more uniform, avoiding the floating of materials, and thus improving the physical and mechanical properties of the final product.

[0018] Further, the length-diameter ratio of the side feeder is 12:1 - 16:1.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above improvement scheme are as follows: A higher length-diameter ratio ensures sufficient mixing of materials in the side feeder, thereby improving the uniform dispersion of titanium dioxide. The length-diameter ratio design provides a longer mixing channel, enabling more thorough dispersion of titanium dioxide in the material flow and reducing the agglomeration phenomenon. The increased shearing effect helps break up the aggregates of titanium dioxide, promotes better dispersion, and enhances the smoothness and uniformity of the final product.

[0020] Further, a cooling water channel is provided on the side wall of the feeding extruder.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above improvement scheme are as follows: By setting up the cold water pipeline, the temperature of the side feeder can be maintained, preventing local overheating and avoiding premature melting of the materials during the feeding process.

[0022] Further, the heat insulation sheath is made of silica gel.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of a twin-screw extruder feeding device for producing white masterbatch with ultra-high titanium dioxide content provided by the present utility model are as follows: By setting up the main feeding port and two side feeding ports for collaborative feeding, the mixing process of materials in the extruder is more uniform. The twin-screw extruder body can subject the materials to strong shearing and mixing. The collaborative use can reduce the losses caused by uneven distribution of materials, improve the utilization rate of raw materials, and the collaborative feeding of the main feeding port and the side feeding ports can avoid the accumulation of materials and accelerate the processing speed. The side feeder can provide more feeding space and mixing opportunities; the two side feeders can balance the material flow in the twin-screw extruder body and reduce the flow instability problem caused by single feeding at the main feeding port. By setting up the twin-screw extruder body, the virtual floating and accumulation of materials can be avoided, ensuring a large amount, rapid, and uniform transportation of materials. The side feeder has a certain length-diameter ratio, ensuring uniform mixing of materials and having a partial shearing and kneading effect, effectively improving the dispersion effect of titanium dioxide.
