What is a Single Screw Extruder?
Single-screw extruders were introduced to the plastics and rubber industries in the 1870s. Originally screw extruders were simply used as pumps. However, in the second decade of the 20th century, there were efforts to use single screws extruders as continuous mixing machines. this trend became clear.
As the name suggests, single-screw extruders have only one screw located inside the cylindrical barrel. They are primarily used for extruding granules and pre-prepared compounds. The single screws extrusion machinery is considered a very basic form of extruder that simply melts and forms the material.

A typical construction of a single screws extrusion machine is shown in. Together, they are responsible for conveying the solids, melting and pumping the melt through the die.
