1. Single-Screw Extruders
These extruders use one rotating screw to melt and convey material through the die.
They are widely used for manufacturing plastic films, pipes, and sheets.
Simple design, cost-effective, and ideal for smaller production tasks.
Limited mixing capability, unsuitable for composite materials.
2. Twin-Screw Extruders
Featuring two intermeshing screws, these offer superior mixing and processing capabilities.
Commonly used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and advanced plastics manufacturing.
Better mixing, higher throughput, and adaptability for complex recipes.
3. Ram Extruders
Ideal for high-pressure extrusion of metals, ceramics, and viscous materials.
Commonly used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and advanced plastics manufacturing.
Can handle heavy-duty applications like aluminum or steel profiles.
4. Cold Extruders
Process materials at room temperature, avoiding heat-based transformations.
Frequently used for cold metal forming in automotive and aerospace industries.
Preserves material integrity and reduces energy consumption.
