The threaded element is a functional component fitted onto the mandrel that directly contacts the material. These elements perform various processing tasks through different geometric configurations (including thread count, pitch, and rotation direction). This modular design is commonly referred to as a "building block" screw.
The mandrel, also known as the screw mandrel or main shaft, is a central shaft constructed from high-strength alloy steel. It serves as the structural foundation and power transmission axis for the entire screw system.
Together, the threaded element and mandrel form the core functional components of twin-screw extruders, determining the quality and efficiency of material plasticizing, mixing, and conveying. These precisely engineered components work in tandem to enable complex processing functions.
