A method of extruding a material including a binder and one or more energetic fillers and using an installation including an extruder including a sheath having at least one extrusion screw present therein, the extruder having at least one acoustic sensor fastened on the sheath, and a monitor system suitable for detecting an anomaly as a function of the acoustic signal picked up by the acoustic sensor, the monitor system being configured to measure variations in the amplitude of the acoustic signal picked up by the acoustic sensor, the method including an extrusion step for extruding the material through the extruder during which the acoustic signal picked up by the sensor is analyzed by the monitor system, and a detection step for detecting variation in the composition of the extruded material from variation in the amplitude of the acoustic signal.

A device for checking the construction of an extruder screw having a shaft and screw elements that are to be pushed or have been pushed one after the other onto the shaft in a defined sequence. Each screw element has an element-specific external geometry. A recording device being provided for determining information concerning the sequence of the screw elements that are to be pushed on or have been pushed on and for comparing the information determined with target information, which directly or indirectly describes the target sequence.

A signal acquisition unit of an abnormality detection device for a twin-screw extrusion molding machine, when the twin-screw extrusion molding machine that melts and kneads a fed resin raw material is in operation, acquires an AE output of an AE sensor installed on a surface of a housing of the twin-screw extrusion molding machine. A determination unit determines whether an abnormality occurs in the twin-screw extrusion molding machine, based on a relationship between the AE output and a first threshold and a second threshold.
