Why Parallel Twin Screw Is the First Choice for High-Output Processing
In the world of plastic extrusion and compounding, "output" isn't just a number—it’s the pulse of your profitability. As manufacturers scale up to meet global demands, the machinery they choose determines whether they lead the pack or struggle with overhead. While various configurations exist, the Parallel Twin Screw (PTS) has solidified its position as the premier choice for high-volume, high-precision processing. Unlike its counterparts, the PTS system is engineered specifically for the rigors of 24/7 industrial scaling, offering a unique blend of modular flexibility and thermodynamic efficiency. Geometric Superiority: Parallel vs. Conical To understand why the parallel design wins at high output, we must look at its geometry compared to a Conical Twin Screw (CTS). Constant Diameter: In a Parallel Twin Screw system, the screw diameter remains constant from the feed zone to the discharge. This allows for a much longer effective processing length, often measured by a ...
