The final product is typically a pellet to facilitate accurate/consistent feeding into an injection molding machine or single screw extruder. HSEI twin screw extruders utilize segmented screws that are assembled on high torque splined shafts. Barrels are also modular and utilize liquid cooling. The motor inputs energy into the process via rotating screws that impart shear into the materials being processed. Segmented screws/barrels, in combination with the controlled pumping and wiping characteristics of the co-rotating, self wiping screws, allows screw/barrel geometries to be matched to the process tasks. Solids conveying and melting occurs in the first part of the process section. Screw elements for mixing and devolatilization are then utilized as dictated by the process. Discharge elements finally build and stabilize pressure to the die or front-end device.
