A major automotive parts supplier wanted to develop TPU materials for automotive interior components with the goal of lightweighting, high abrasion resistance and impact resistance. Faced with the challenge of improving material production efficiency and ensuring consistent product quality, the company introduced a solution combining a water drawbar phase cooling system with a twin-screw machine.
The company adopted our twin-screw extruder because our twin-screw fast-screw machine has an advanced common screw design, which is capable of efficiently mixing TPU raw materials at high temperatures and ensuring their uniform plasticization. Immediately after screwing, the material enters the water slat cooling system, which guides the cooling of the TPU strips to a cured state. The precise control and high-speed cooling of the water slider system ensures the stability and smoothness of the strips and effectively avoids quality problems caused by temperature fluctuations.
After the project was put into operation, the production line ran smoothly, the production efficiency of TPU strips was significantly improved, and the dimensional accuracy and consistency of the finished products were greatly improved. In the end, the enterprise successfully launched TPU automotive parts with excellent abrasion resistance, elasticity and impact resistance, which met the strict quality standards of automobile manufacturers, while reviewing the production cycle and reducing production costs.
The excellent performance of the water drawbar cooling system and the twin-screw screw machine in the production of TPU materials has been fully demonstrated, which has won the company greater competition in the market of high-performance elastomer materials.
