PRODUCTS / TRIPLE-SCREW EXTRUDERS

Triple-Screw Extrusion Line

A co-rotating, intermeshing triple-screw platform — the same building-block approach as our twin-screw machines, with a third screw shaft adding mixing surface and residence-time control for demanding compounding duties.

Overview

The triple-screw line extends our co-rotating, intermeshing extruder platform to a third screw shaft. The operating principle is the same as the SJSH twin-screw series: screw elements and barrel sections are assembled from a building-block system, so the process length can be arranged into conveying, melting, mixing, dispersing, homogenizing, devolatilization and pressure-building zones, and rebuilt when the product changes.

The machine is configured for a specific combination of mixing, plasticizing, pigmentation, filling, reinforcement and reclamation — matched to the material and the process at hand rather than supplied to a fixed template.

Where it sits in the range

The triple-screw line runs alongside the rest of our extrusion platforms, and the right choice depends on the compound and the duty rather than on screw count alone:

PlatformCharacterTypically specified for
SJSH twin-screwModular, self-wiping, widest configuration rangeGeneral compounding, masterbatch, filled and reinforced compounds
DY high-torque twin-screwHigher specific torque at the same screw sizeVery high filler loadings, high-viscosity compounds, high output
Triple-screwAdditional screw shaft — more mixing surface per unit lengthCompounds needing intensive distributive mixing and controlled residence time
SHJ two-stageTwin-screw mixing, single-screw pressure build-upHeat- and shear-sensitive materials, PVC and XLPE cable compound
SJ single-screwLow shear, steady conveying and pressure build-upFilm and scrap reclamation, tandem second stage

Line configuration

As with every line we build, the equipment around the extruder is selected for the material and the required output:

  • Feeding — metering, loss-in-weight, side, force and bi-directional feeders
  • Filtration — hydraulic and manual screen and net-exchange devices
  • Pelletizing — water-cooled strand, air-cooled strand or chain, air-cooled hot-face, water-ring hot-face, eccentric fog-jetting or underwater cutting
  • Downstream — cooling, dewatering, vibrating sieve classification, air drying and packing
  • Control — from a standard operator panel through to full PLC control with lubrication, feeding, pressure and over-current interlocks

Wear parts follow the same specification as the rest of our range: 45CrNiMoVA core shafts, W6Mo5Cr4V2 screw elements vacuum hardened to HRC 62–64, and barrels lined with a-101 wear-resistant alloy at HRC 60–64.

Technical data

Screw diameter, L/D, screw speed, drive power and output for the triple-screw line are confirmed against your compound and target throughput. Send us your polymer, filler loading and required kg/h and we will return the model, screw configuration and pelletizing method with the quotation.
