Application of the experimental line of desktop extruder

Desktop Extruders can form various experimental lines by changing different dies and combining downstream auxiliary equipment to meet different experimental needs. Below are some common experimental lines and their applications:

Blown Film Experimental Line The blown film experimental line is mainly used for testing and developing various film materials, such as plastic packaging films. By using a single or twin-screw extruder, the plastic melt is extruded and blown into a film, testing the film’s strength, transparency, and durability.

  • Application Examples:
    • Packaging Materials: Development of high-performance packaging films for food, pharmaceuticals, etc.
    • Agricultural Films: Research on the performance and durability of agricultural mulches and greenhouse films.
    • Industrial Films: Testing the performance of protective and isolating films for industrial use.

Single/Twin-screw Pelletizing Experimental Line The pelletizing experimental line is used to convert plastic raw materials into pellets for subsequent processing. This experimental line can extrude and cut the mixed plastic melt into pellets using a single or twin-screw extruder, used to study the processing performance and stability of materials.

  • Application Examples:
    • New Material Preparation: Development of new plastic pellets for the production of various plastic products.
    • Additive Research: Testing the effects of different additives on plastic properties, such as antioxidants and flame retardants.
    • Recycling: Research on the recycling of waste plastics and the development of environmentally friendly recycled materials.

Wire Experimental Line The wire experimental line is used to test and develop various plastic wires, such as wire and cable sheaths. The plastic melt is extruded to form wires and then tested for strength, wear resistance, and flexibility.

  • Application Examples:
    • Wires and Cables: Development of high-performance wire and cable materials, testing their electrical and mechanical properties.
    • 3D Printing Filaments: Research on high-performance plastic filaments for 3D printing, testing their printing performance and product quality.
    • Medical Wires: Development of special plastic wires for medical devices, testing their biocompatibility and durability.

Desktop extruders play an important role as a key tool for experiments and research in materials science, engineering development, and education and training. Single-screw and twin-screw extruders each have their unique features, meeting different experimental needs. Experimental lines formed by combining with other equipment, such as blown film experimental lines, pelletizing experimental lines, and wire experimental lines, provide strong experimental support for researchers and engineers, promoting the development and application of new materials and processes.

With continuous technological advancement and increasing demand, the application scope and functions of desktop extruders will further expand, providing more diverse and reliable experimental methods for the development of materials science and engineering technology. In the future, desktop extruders will demonstrate their unique value and potential in more fields, contributing to technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
