KNEADING DISC SEGMENT AND TWIN-SCREW EXTRUDER

摘要

The kneading disc segment according to the present invention comprises plural disc sets each comprising two kneading discs and mounted on a kneading screw (3) which is for kneading a material while feeding the material to a downstream side. Disc sets each comprising a first kneading disc positioned on an upstream side and a second kneading disc, the second kneading disc being mounted continuously with and downstream of the first kneading disc so as to have a phase difference delta of an acute angle relative to the first kneading disc, are disposed continuously in the axial direction of the kneading screw. The first kneading discs in two continuous disc sets have a phase difference of 180°. With this construction, it is possible to attain a higher degree of kneading than in the conventional neutral kneading disc segment.
