CHANGE SCREW SEQUENCE (for co-rotation extruder)

Product catalog summary
Procedure for Changing Screw Sequence in Co-Rotation Extruder
1. Initial Setup:
  • Set the temperature and extrude material at a low speed of 50 rpm for several minutes.
2. Heater and Sensor Removal:
  • Switch off the heaters for the die head, filter, and last barrel zone. Confirm the switch-off with an electrician.
  • Remove the temperature sensor and heater from the last barrel.
3. Disassembly:
  • Loosen connecting bolts between the barrel and filter, then remove the filter and die head without disconnecting wires.
  • Remove the plug block on the barrel.
  • Remove the coupling cover and ring lock, then loosen the coupling.
4. Screw Removal:
  • Remove the feeding hopper and use a screwdriver to move the screw out of the barrel. If difficult, use additional tools from the venting port.
  • If still hard, remove screw tips and use special tools to pull screws with assistance.
5. Cleaning and Preparation:
  • Place the screw on a wood stick, clean with a steel brush, and remove screw tips. Lightly hit the screw out of the shaft using a copper or aluminum stick. Use heat if necessary to melt material inside the shaft.
  • Do not loosen the last element as it serves as a benchmark for refitting.
6. Reassembly:
  • Clean each screw section with fine sandpaper and install screws according to the drawing.
  • Apply heat-resistant grease on shafts when installing screw elements.
  • Insert one screw into the barrel for cleaning, then blow out dust with compressed air.
  • Ensure the last screw element is about 10mm longer than the shaft, then tighten screw tips and adjustable pads.
7. Final Assembly:
  • Align two parallel screws with a 90-degree center line and rotate together for three circles to ensure smooth operation.
  • Fix the screw coupling, rotate the main motor coupling slightly, and ensure smooth rotation for eight circles.
  • Secure the ring lock and coupling, ensuring all components are tightly fixed.
8. Final Steps:
  • Clean all sections of the die head and barrel.
  • Reattach the filter, die head, heater, and temperature sensor.
  • Switch on the heaters.

After fix on all the screw elements, the last screw element should be about 10mm longer than shaft, then tight the screw tips. Put one screw into the barrel to clean the barrels. Then blower the dust out of the barrel by compress air. (cover the coupling by clothes, make sure no dust go into the coupling) Tight the adjustable pads.
