SCREW EXTRUDER WITH AN ENLARGED FEED SECTION

摘要

SCREW EXTRUDER WITH AN ENLARGED FEED SECTION Disclosed is a screw extruder having an upstream feed section in which the bore and screw is of substantially larger diameter than that in a downstream melting section. The two screws are structurally separable and may be operably independent of each other. The extruder is constructed for removal of the smaller screw outwardly through the downstream end of the extruder. Various arrangements for driving the two screws are disclosed herein.
