The plastic extrusion industry is experiencing a significant breakthrough with the launch of a new dual-screw extruder designed specifically for processing polyoxymethylene (POM). This innovation not only enhances production efficiency but also achieves significant advancements in precision manufacturing and environmental sustainability, setting a new standard in plastic processing.
Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal or Delrin, is a high-strength, rigid engineering plastic widely used in automotive components, electronic parts, and precision instruments. Due to its sensitivity to moisture, thorough drying of POM pellets is essential before processing. Moisture can lead to hydrolysis during heating, which deteriorates material properties and affects the quality of the final product.
POM melts within a temperature range of 170℃ to 190℃. At these temperatures, POM pellets undergo melting, which involves primarily physical changes. However, POM is prone to thermal degradation at high temperatures, releasing formaldehyde gas that can negatively impact product quality and pose environmental and health risks. Our dual-screw extruder is equipped with a precise temperature control system that monitors and adjusts the heating process in real-time, preventing overheating and decomposition, thus ensuring stable production quality and safety.
The new dual-screw extruder features cutting-edge screw design and modular barrel structure tailored for POM processing. This technology excels in mixing and shear control, delivering exceptional material uniformity even at high speeds. The modular design allows for flexible adjustment based on different POM formulations, ensuring optimal physical performance and appearance for each batch. This precision makes our extruder particularly suitable for producing high-precision engineering plastic products.
Our dual-screw extruder stands out not only for its efficiency but also for its environmental and energy-saving benefits. It incorporates a low-energy heating system that maintains stable performance while reducing energy consumption. Additionally, the extruder is equipped with an advanced gas treatment system that captures and decomposes formaldehyde gases produced during processing, minimizing environmental impact and meeting stringent environmental standards.
The demand for high-performance engineering plastics, including POM, continues to grow across various industries such as automotive manufacturing, precision instruments, and electronics. The new dual-screw extruder is set to become a standard in the industry, offering efficient and eco-friendly processing solutions. This innovation not only provides a superior production tool but also drives the industry towards higher precision and quality standards.
The latest advancement in POM extrusion technology represents a significant step forward in precision manufacturing and environmental sustainability. With its exceptional performance and eco-friendly design, the new dual-screw extruder is poised to become a key player in the future of plastic processing. We look forward to its widespread adoption and the continued evolution of the industry towards greater innovation and excellence.
