Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of equipment for biodegradable tableware, specifically a twin-screw extruder for biodegradable tableware. Background Technology

[0002] Biodegradable tableware refers to tableware that can decompose into harmless substances such as water, carbon dioxide, and biomass in the natural environment through the action of microorganisms. These products aim to reduce the long-term environmental pollution caused by traditional plastic tableware. With technological advancements and increased societal emphasis on sustainable development, biodegradable tableware is gradually becoming an important option in the disposable products sector.

[0003] Twin-screw extruders are highly efficient plastic processing equipment capable of handling a variety of materials, widely used in the manufacture of biodegradable tableware. These machines have two meshing screws rotating within a common barrel, providing superior mixing, plasticizing, and conveying performance. Twin-screw extruders are one of the ideal choices for producing high-quality biodegradable tableware, not only improving production efficiency but also ensuring product uniformity and consistency. With increasing environmental awareness and technological advancements, this type of equipment will play an increasingly important role in the field of sustainable materials processing.

[0004] In existing twin-screw extruders, the internal screw is usually a single piece. While this meets the usage requirements to some extent, it has been found in actual use that once the design of the integral screw is determined, it is difficult to change. When it is necessary to adjust the process parameters or adapt to different material characteristics, the entire screw needs to be replaced, which is not only costly but also time-consuming.
