General information about extruder heads
The purpose of the extrusion tool s to form the polymer melt from the extruder into the homogeneous product with a constant cross-section of the defined form.
The head design must conform to the following requirements:
- It provides deformation of the flow to shape according to the cross-section of the product.
- The head channel configuration should avoid dead spots inside it.
- The mould must have sufficient resistance to create the opposite pressure at the extruder outlet. It ensures high-quality mixing and homogenization of the polymer.
- The design of the shaping part of the head must be sufficiently rigid, so as the cross-section of the flow channel doesn’t change at any operating pressure.
Q&A for extruder head
What are extruder heads and what are they used for?
Extruder heads are special devices, that used to form a polymer melt into the defined shape during the extrusion process.
What is the role of the heads in the polymer extrusion process?
The heads play a major role in ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface quality of extruded products.
Why do extruder heads need the mould?
The mould creates the backpressure at the extruder outlet, ensuring high-quality mixing and homogenization of the polymer.
What factors can affect on the extrusion quality during using heads?
The extrusion quality depends on the head construction, polymer properties and operating parameters.
