Bimetallic twin barrel and screw

A bimetallic twin barrel and screw is a component used in plastic extrusion machines. It consists of two barrels and two screws that are made of different metals or alloys.

The purpose of using bimetallic materials in the barrel and screw is to enhance the wear resistance and durability of the components. The inner surface of the barrel and the surface of the screw that comes in contact with the plastic material are usually made of a high-wear-resistant alloy, such as a bimetallic alloy containing tungsten carbide particles.

The outer layer of the barrel and screw is typically made of a high-strength steel material that provides structural integrity and support. The bimetallic construction allows for the use of a more wear-resistant material where it is needed most, while still maintaining the strength and rigidity of the component.

The bimetallic twin barrel and screw are designed to work together to melt, mix, and transport the plastic material through the extrusion process. The twin screw design provides better mixing and homogenization of the plastic material, resulting in improved product quality and consistency.

Overall, the use of a bimetallic twin barrel and screw in plastic extrusion machines helps to extend the lifespan of the components and improve the efficiency of the extrusion process.
