PIPLL EPE Foam Extrusion Screws & Barrels
PIPLL EPE foam extrusion screw and barrel solutions are designed for stable and efficient production of expanded polyethylene (EPE) foam sheets and other PE foam products. Optimized screw geometry and precise melt control help achieve uniform plasticization, stable foaming conditions, and consistent product quality.
Our EPE extrusion screws and barrels can be customized according to the extruder model, LDPE formulation, foaming process, product thickness, and production requirements.
EPE foam extrusion requires effective melting, mixing, cooling, and pressure control to achieve a uniform cellular structure. The screw and barrel are critical components for maintaining stable melt conditions throughout the extrusion process.
· Optimized Screw Design: Customized screw geometry for efficient conveying, melting, mixing, and metering of PE foam materials.
· Uniform Plasticization: Designed to provide stable melt quality and consistent processing conditions.
· Long L/D Applications: Screw designs can be customized for EPE foam extrusion lines requiring extended processing and cooling sections.
· Wear-Resistant Construction: Nitrided screw and barrel options are available for long-term production.
· Customized Cooling Design: Barrel configuration can be adapted to the temperature control requirements of the extrusion process.
· OEM Replacement: Manufactured according to original drawings, extruder models, or existing screw and barrel dimensions.
