Effects Of Screw End Face Structural Parameters On Polylactic Acid Flow Field In Meshing Counter Rotating Twin Screw Extruder, Zhang Yi-Wei, Huang Zhi-Gang, Shang Jia-Wei, Liu Zhong-Yao, Yang Ya-Nan

Food and Machinery

Objective: To investigate the effect of the screw configuration on the polylactic acid flow field on the structural parameters of the screw on the end face of the screw in the meshing counter rotating twin screw extruder. Methods: The theoretical model of the heterodirectional double-ended threaded element was established by Solidworks software and the geometry of the threaded element after adjusting the structural parameters in two different ways. The established three-dimensional model was imported into Gambit software for meshing, and then Polyflow software was applied to the flow field simulation calculation. Finally, the flow field distribution results were extracted by …

Food and Machinery

Objective: The flow channel distribution of polylactic acid in four screw extruder with different screw arrangement was studied. Methods: The three-dimensional modeling software Solidworks was used to establish the screw model and the corresponding fluid region model under the arrangement of one-word screw, four-square screw and encircle screw. Numerical simulation was carried out by the simulation software Polyflow. Results: The screw arrangement of monotype and surround type had better pressure building ability and distribution mixing ability than the square arrangement, and the square arrangement had weaker transport ability of polylactic acid. Conclusion: The four-screw extruder with one-line screw arrangement has …
