Regarding the way of maintenance and cleaning, through this article you will be able to fully understand - the major ways of cleaning extruder screws.

 

How to clean extruder screws

 

Fully automatic screw cleaning machine applies the world's first innovative technology of cold process water stripping, which can be programmed according to different extruder models and different residuum through intelligent control system.

 

Utilizing hydrodynamic rotational kinetic energy, together with the reaction force of screw rotation to realize 360-degree cleaning without dead angle. High working efficiency and does not hurt the screw surface coating, suitable for a variety of polymer material stripping and removal, in an environmentally friendly, efficient, energy-saving way to realize screw cleaning.

 

Fully automatic screw cleaning machine using advanced cleaning technology and intelligent control system, can complete the screw cleaning work in a short time, greatly improving the cleaning efficiency. Not only reduces the cleaning cost, but also improves the production efficiency.

 

Fully automatic screw cleaning machine is suitable for cleaning extruder screws in a variety of industries, such as modified plastics, color masterbatches, rubber, powder coatings and so on. At the same time, it can also effectively clean the screw of PEEK (polyether ether ketone) and other high-performance engineering plastics, solving the problems of screw carbonization, black spots can not be cleaned.
