What is the role of feeders in industrial production?

Feeders are the link between raw material supply and processing flow. Their role is not just simple material transportation, but also the precision, efficiency and intelligence of the production process through technological innovation. Single-screw and twin-screw feeders are the core technology carriers in this field. Single-screw feeders adopt the traditional screw propulsion principle and realize material transportation through the mechanical thrust generated by the rotation of the screw. They perform well in the processing of materials with good fluidity such as plastic particles and calcium carbonate. Twin-screw feeders form forced transportation through two counter-rotating screws, showing unique advantages in the transportation of powder raw materials in the pharmaceutical industry.

When supplying materials, the feeder realizes material transportation under the joint action of the screw, sensor and control system. When transporting complex materials, the feeder breaks through traditional limitations through modular design. By adjusting the blade spacing and speed, it can process granules, powders and short fiber mixtures at the same time to meet the multi-formula production needs of the plastic modification industry.

From the perspective of production efficiency, the continuous operation capacity of the feeder reduces the production cycle of goods. Taking the twin-screw feeder as an example, its H-type transition body docking design with the extruder expands the cross-sectional area of ​​the material channel by 40%, and cooperates with the hydraulic screen changing system to achieve long-term uninterrupted production, doubling the production capacity compared with traditional equipment.
