Frequently asked Questions

What does L / D ratio mean in extruder machines?
L / D ratio is an important parameter for barrel-screw systems used in extruders. (D) is the barrel diameter and (L) is the effective machining length. The effective machining length refers to the length from the barrel feed window to the hive outlet. L / D ratio varies according to the raw material and the end product.
What does the square body motor and squirrel cage AC motor used in the extruder mean?
Square body motors are preferred in situations where high performance at low revs is required. Squirrel cage AC motors, on the other hand, are generally preferred in extruders with easy fluidity.
What is the function of the pressure sensor at the barrel outlet?
The pressure sensor measures the pressure generated in the barrel outlet and head area and provides parameter information. It is also an important safety equipment that enables the extruder to operate within the safe pressure values allowed.
