The classification of extruders by model involves process, selection, or operational management issues related to food processing and production equipment.The actual solution should be confirmed based on raw material characteristics, target product specifications, production scale, and on-site conditions, and should not be determined solely by single equipment parameters.

Key Points for Categorizing Extrusion Puffing Machines by Model

For extrusion puffing equipment, model specifications are classified based on screw diameter.For illustrative purposes, the following discussion uses plastic as an example, but the classification principles for food extrusion and puffing machines are equally applicable.

In other words, the screw diameter of the extrusion puffing equipment represents the model specification of the equipment.For example, the screw diameter of the 90-type extrusion puffing equipment is 90 mm.Therefore, it can be concluded that the larger the model and specifications of the extrusion puffing equipment, the higher the output per unit time.

When selecting extrusion puffing equipment, choose a model and specification that is appropriate for the product size.Commonly used extrusion puffing equipment includes the 65, 75, and 90 models. For instance, the production of automotive hoses, certain door and window sealing strips, building door and window sealing strips, and cabinet sealing strips typically employs these types of equipment.For the production and manufacturing of some small plastic products, we typically use 30-type, 45-type, or 50-type extrusion puffing equipment.

We typically refer to extrusion puffing equipment with models smaller than 65 as small-scale extrusion puffing equipment, because these machines have very low output and are usually used as auxiliary equipment for composite plastic products or for the production of small plastic items such as cables and wires.For some relatively large products, such as waterstops and plastic tire treads, large-scale extrusion puffing equipment is required for production.

What conditions should be considered during implementation or selection?

First, it is essential to clarify the product type, raw material state, formulation direction, and expected finished product requirements.For projects involving extrusion, forming, drying, frying, conveying, seasoning, or packaging, the processing capacity and cycle time of each stage must be matched to avoid discrepancies between individual equipment capacity and the overall line requirements.

Secondly, the installation plan should be evaluated in conjunction with the workshop's spatial layout and utility conditions, including power supply, water supply, steam, or gas.Equipment configuration should also take into account long-term operational factors such as cleaning, maintenance, safety protection, spare parts supply, and operator training.Any process or equipment capabilities mentioned in this document are for reference only in the context of solution discussions and preliminary assessments.Specific model numbers, power ratings, production capacities, temperatures, and times shall be subject to the formal technical proposal and the results of trial runs or on-site verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the equipment be determined directly based on the standard configuration?

Not recommended.Different raw materials, product structures, target production capacities, and downstream processes can affect the equipment configuration.It is more prudent to confirm the product and process conditions before proceeding with the configuration assessment.

How to obtain more targeted advice?

It is recommended to prepare product images or sample information, raw material and formulation guidelines, target production capacity, existing workshop conditions, and planned downstream equipment configurations.Dayi Machinery can further discuss the applicable process routes and equipment configuration options based on this.
