Twin-screw extrusion device

摘要

An extrusion device comprises feed means and extrusion means. The feed means comprises a feed hopper having a feed aperture formed therein, said feed aperture feeding material into a hollow barrel in which a single screw rotates. The single screw conveys the material to the extrusion device. The extrusion device comprises twin screws rotating in a further barrel. The two barrels are co-axial with one another and are in series with one another. The diameter of the single screw is at least twice the diameter of each of the twin screws.
