Technical Field

[0002] Extruders are used for the extrusion of polymer materials. During extrusion, the temperature drops, which can cause PET materials to solidify. Therefore, heat preservation and heating devices are often required. Extruders include extrusion screws, but existing screws have a uniform pitch, which cannot meet the requirements of the extrusion process. For example, the screw pitch at the feed point of the extruder should be larger to obtain more space, while the screw pitch at the outlet can be smaller to increase the extrusion speed. Therefore, obtaining a PET extrusion screw is very important. Utility Model Content

A drive gear is fixed on the outer wall of the connecting column. It also includes an external drive motor.
