Being competitive in today's challenging business
environment requires a best possible production
process. The screw, and in particular its design,
influence the overall productivity to a significant
degree.
A custom designed feed screw, taking all your
unique processing factors into consideration,
typically outperforms any "off the shelf" screw
design.
P.E.M. combines latest scientific screw performance
modeling with extensive experience of in-house
engineers to design screws for a wide variety
of applications.
Screw performance modeling includes prediction
of:
- Maximum Screw Pressure and Pressure Distribution
- Melting Start, End, and Solid Bed Deformations
- Final Melt Temperature and Local Temperatures
along the Screw Axis
- Screw torque and motor horsepower requirements
Screw wear and wear patterns can be estimated
based on the results above. |
