polymer
Dear sir/madam
Our company is active in the field of polymers. The company have several twin screw extruder line that make PEX or XLPE granules by the raw material HDPE. We also add silane and other materials as an additives materials.
L / D unit and has 44 Screw diameter is 95 mm
After producing and when we need to remove material from the Screw, remained material are a kind of gel. Up until now we use direct heat for purging the screw. But this method cause to damage the screws.
Now we are trying to find a new method for purging the screws. If you could suggest a new method, instead of direction heat, please send your information for me. We investigate your method and call you.
Best regard
