A multi-shaft extruder has between an exterior housing (9) and an interior housing (10) at least six worm shafts (4) disposed in a circle (7). The drive (1) of the multi-shaft extruder has two pinion shafts (2) which are partitioned into groups of identical design and disposed on a circle (7), the pinion shafts being radially driven from the inside and from the outside at equal forces and in the same direction and in diametrical opposition and coaxially connected to the worm shafts (4) of the process part (5) via couplings (3), the worm shafts (4) having a feed length (L) of at least six Do and a Do/Di ratio of 1.5 to 1.93, wherein Do is the outside diameter and Di is the inside diameter of the feed screws (11, 12, 13) and the torque density of the extruder is at least 50 Nm/cm3. |
