New concepts for the active grooved-feed section extruder

  • 1 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering –Lublin University of Technology, the Poland

Abstract

The article discusses the current state of knowledge about the active grooved feed section of an extruder and presents its new constructional solutions. The grooved feed has been known for thirty-five years; there are not so many constructional solutions, and most of them come from the United States and Poland. Unlike the passive grooved feed section, the active grooved feed section has not, as yet, been used in industrial processing machines.
