Product Overview
Equipped with a φ65 mm twin-screw extruder (L/D ratio 36:1) with intermeshing screws, it achieves exceptional melt homogeneity (viscosity variation ≤3%) and output (100-300 kg/h) for thermoplastic polymers. Its multi-layer co-extrusion capability (up to 5 layers) enables complex insulation structures, while precision vacuum calibration (±0.1 mm tolerance) ensures dimensional stability across 0.5-8 mm cable diameters. Compliant with IEC 60228 and ASTM D2122, this line reduces scrap rates by 25% through advanced process control, making it ideal for high-performance insulation applications.
Product Specifications
Process Technology
Extruder Performance: φ65 mm co-rotating twin-screw with 8 heating zones and kneading blocks, processing PPR (MFR 1.0-3.0 g/10min), PERT (density 0.92 g/cm3), PB (melting point 124°C), and PEX with cross-linking agents.
Material Handling: Supports 30% recycled content with dual-screen changer (60/120 mesh) and devolatilization port for moisture/volatile removal (vacuum 0.08 MPa).
Temperature Control: Electric heaters with water cooling (flow rate 10-20 L/min), maintaining barrel temperatures at 180-250°C (±1°C accuracy) via PID control.
Mechanical Design
Die Assembly: Spiral flow die with computer-optimized channel design for uniform material distribution, featuring quick-change inserts for diameter adjustments (5-50 mm).
Calibration System: Vacuum sizing tank (length 3-5 m) with multi-zone pressure control (0.02-0.08 MPa) and adjustable spray nozzles for even cooling.
Hauling Unit: Servo-driven caterpillar with precision-machined rollers (Ra ≤0.4 μm), providing traction force 5-50 kN and speed synchronization ±0.5% with extruder.
Control System
Automation Interface: Allen-Bradley Micro800 PLC with 10-inch HMI, offering real-time process visualization and data logging (1-year storage) for quality traceability.
Quality Control: Integrated laser micrometer (±0.005 mm accuracy) and melt flow meter that trigger alerts for thickness deviations >5% or pressure fluctuations >10%.

FAQ
Q: What is the maximum number of layers for co-extrusion?
A: It supports up to 5 layers (e.g., core + barrier + adhesive + color + protective layer) with layer thickness ratios adjustable from 5% to 60%.
Q: How does the system handle high-viscosity materials like PPR?
A: The high-torque gearbox (11 kW motor) and optimized screw geometry generate sufficient shear (200-500 s?1) to melt high-viscosity polymers without degradation.
Q: What maintenance is required for the twin-screw extruder?
A: Screws and barrels require inspection every 1,000 operating hours, with bearing lubrication (synthetic grease NLGI 2) every 500 hours and screen changer cleaning after 20 tons of material processed.
