Iranian Company Manufactures Twin-Screw Extruder to Make Polymer Nanocomposites
“The high-torque twin-screw extruder has been designed and built for the first time to produce polymer nanocomposites. The device can make polymer nanocomposites and polymer granules on a nanoscale,” Ali Honarian, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“This device is used in the compound and masterbatch industries,” he added.
“This device, the prototype of which we have now built, is a heavy and complex device and requires a high level of working capital, which is why countries that own this technology only build a limited number of these devices per year,” Honarian said.
Twin screw extruders are used to transform plastic polymers and food components into a desired form, shape, and product.
The possible products to be manufactured can be pipes, technical profiles, pellets, medical devices and pet food.
Twin screw extruders offer numerous advantages over single screw extruders. Firstly, they provide excellent mixing and compounding capabilities, making them suitable for applications that require precise material blending. They also have a higher throughput capacity, allowing for increased productivity.
