Wenger Twin Screw Extruder

The MAGNUM Twin Screw Extruder is co-rotating, fully intermeshing, self-wiping in design. Due to the Magnum's modular design  length-to-diameter ratios are 7.5:1 to 25.5:1 are available.  Barrel segments are each equipped with cavities for circulating thermal fluids for heating and/or cooling. The ratio of area of thermal fluid contact to the area of extrudate contact provides the highest thermal heat transfer rates possible-- improving process control by assuring precise control of product temperature/time history.

Many significant design and metallurgical advances are featured in these extruders. Improvements include totally re-engineered screws and barrel components resulting in larger dies, longer life and lower replacement costs of all wearing parts. A more efficient preconditioner increases extruder capacity, efficiency, and product quality.

Wenger extruders assure greater production capacity with less energy consumption. This lower specified mechanical energy input is the result of the unique design of the screw flighting and the barrel ribbing. The combination of flight depth, pitch profile, and equivalent helix angle optimize the conversion of mechanical energy into heat through friction while minimizing shear damage.

Barrel components - screws, barrel sleeves, and shearlocks--are proprietary stainless steel alloys. The result is greater resistance to wear, increased barrel life, and significant reductions in extruder maintenance and operating costs.
