KTD High Volume Series

How does the specific torque of the KTD high volume extruder production line improve production efficiency?
The specific torque of the KTD high volume extruder production line is important for improving production efficiency. The specific torque of 11N.m/cm³ means that the KTD extruder can exert greater force to handle and convey materials during the production process. This is important for highly filled materials, reactive materials, heat-sensitive materials, and shear-sensitive materials, which often require more delicate control and stronger mixing capabilities. High torque helps to achieve a more uniform mixing of materials in the extruder, ensuring that each part of the material is fully handled and processed, thereby improving product quality and consistency.
With the same power input, extruders with higher specific torque can more effectively convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, thereby increasing extrusion speed and production efficiency. In the same time, KTD extruders can produce more products. Because KTD extruders have stronger material handling capabilities and higher reliability, downtime caused by material blockages, uneven mixing or equipment failures is reduced, further improving production efficiency.
The specific torque of the KTD extruder enables the machine to meet the processing challenges of a variety of complex materials. Highly filled materials, such as composites with a large number of additives or fillers, usually require higher torque to ensure that all components are evenly mixed and flow smoothly during the extrusion process. The strong torque of the KTD extruder ensures stable product quality. For reactive materials, such as certain thermoset plastics or chemically cross-linked materials, the temperature, pressure and speed need to be precisely controlled during processing to avoid premature curing or uneven reaction. The deep groove design of the KTD extruder not only enhances the mixing effect of the materials, but also optimizes heat transfer and dispersion, which helps to achieve continuous and stable extrusion while maintaining the reactivity of the materials. In addition, heat-sensitive and shear-sensitive materials also place stringent requirements on processing conditions. The KTD extruder ensures that these materials will not be damaged by overheating or excessive shearing during processing by finely controlling temperature, pressure and shear rate, combined with its efficient energy conversion and material handling capabilities.
High specific torque not only improves the processing capacity of the KTD extruder, but also provides operators with greater room for adjusting process parameters. In actual production, different materials and production goals may require different combinations of parameters such as temperature, pressure, and speed. The design of the KTD extruder allows operators to fine-tune according to specific needs to optimize production efficiency and product quality. For example, for materials that require higher shear rates, this can be achieved by increasing the speed and reducing the screw gap; for materials that require lower temperature processing, the extrusion temperature can be reduced by adjusting the cooling system.
The KTD extruder focuses on durability and reliability in structural design, using high-strength materials and precision manufacturing processes to ensure that the equipment maintains stability and accuracy during long-term operation. This design reduces downtime and maintenance costs caused by equipment failure, improves production efficiency and overall economic benefits. At the same time, the efficient production process also reduces the cost of raw materials and energy consumption, further enhancing the competitiveness of the enterprise. The KTD high volume extruder production line significantly improves production efficiency through its specific torque in optimizing material handling, increasing production speed and output, enhancing adaptability, and reducing energy consumption and costs.
