The Production Line Consists Of

Single Screw Extruder

The SJ120/38 features a single screw design known for simple and effective melting and mixing. The 120mm screw diameter and 38:1 L/D ratio provide excellent processing capability for a wide range of polymers.

Vacuum Loader

The integrated vacuum loader system automatically conveys raw materials from storage bins to the extruder hopper, minimizing manual handling and reducing dust or moisture contamination.

Hopper Dryer

The 600 KG hopper dryer removes moisture from hygroscopic materials before they enter the extruder. Temperature control and airflow management help maintain stable material condition and final product quality.

Gravimetric Weighing System

The TW-1400 gravimetric weighing system provides accurate material feed rate measurement and control. It helps maintain precise dosing, product consistency and real-time linkage with the extruder control system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the model of your single screw extruder? What does SJ120/38 mean?

SJ120/38 means the screw diameter is 120mm and the L/D ratio is 38:1. This long L/D design is suitable for large diameter HDPE water and gas pipe production.

Q2: What materials can this extruder process?

It is mainly used for HDPE, MDPE, PE100 and PE80 raw pellets. It is also compatible with PP, clean recycled PE scraps and PE with carbon black or calcium carbonate filler. It is not suitable for PVC without a special vented barrel.

Q3: Which pipe sizes match the SJ120/38 extruder?

It is suitable for HDPE pipe OD 250mm to 630mm water supply and gas pipeline production, and can also be used for thick PP sheet and hollow grid board production.

Q4: What is the maximum output capacity of SJ120/38?

Stable continuous output is 1200-1400 kg/h for HDPE PE100 virgin material.

Q5: How do you guarantee stable melt pressure and pipe wall thickness?

The screw ensures uniform plasticization with stable melt pressure. The system can support online gravimetric wall thickness control linkage and closed-loop automatic screw speed adjustment when pressure changes.

Q6: Does the long L/D 38:1 screw cause material degradation?

No. The barrier screw uses a mild shear design with slow temperature rise, supporting low-temperature extrusion and helping avoid yellow streaks, inner surface pits and PE pipe stress cracking.
