Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of single screw feeders, specifically a single screw feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Single-screw feeders are commonly used material conveying equipment in industries such as plastics processing, chemicals, and food. They are mainly used to uniformly and continuously transport granular or powdery materials to downstream production equipment (such as extruders and injection molding machines). Their core components are the screw and the feed tube. The rotation of the screw propels the material to move directionally along the feed tube, achieving precise feeding.

[0003] However, existing single-screw feeders typically employ a fixed feed pipe design, where the angle and outlet height of the feed pipe cannot be adjusted. In actual production, the fixed-height feed pipe leads to poor adaptability due to potential changes in the inlet height of downstream equipment or process requirements (such as mold replacement or production line layout adjustments).

[0004] Therefore, we propose a single screw feeder. Utility Model Content
