A single-screw extruder for changing a morphology of a superabsorbent polymer, specifically a polymer gel. The single-screw extruder has an input aperture, a channel, a screw and an output aperture. The screw has a pitch value of a pitch of the screw flights along the conveying zone of the channel, where the channel has a mixing-element arrangement with at least one mixing element which protrudes into the channel of the single-screw extruder and which is configured for the mixing of the SAP polymer gel.

Disclosed are additively manufactured extruder components including a surface layer configured to contact extrudable material. The surface layer has a first additively manufactured metal composition. A base support for the surface layer has a second additively manufactured metal composition that is different from the first additively manufactured metal composition. A functionally graded material (FGM) is formed from the first and second additively manufactured metal compositions connecting the surface layer to the base support.

Disclosed are additively manufactured extruder components comprising a lattice structure formed within a structural support frame that defines an impervious surface and an axial aperture. An axial aperture of a screw segment is configured to couple to a drive shaft, and its impervious surface is configured to contact extrudable material. An axial aperture of a barrel segment is configured to contact extrudable material.

An extruder screw includes a screw body. The screw body is rotated about an axis parallel to a direction of conveyance of a raw material. A conveyance portion having a flight is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the screw body. The flight is configured to convey the raw material along the axis of the screw body when the screw body is rotated. A passage for permitting the raw material fed by the flight to pass therethrough to the outer peripheral surface of the screw body is provided in the screw body in a position deviated from the axis of the screw body.

An extrusion cylinder has a cylinder body for accommodating an extruder worm and is characterized in that an outer wall of the cylinder body has at least one depression which can be covered and which in the covered state is suitable for conducting a cooling or heating medium for controlling the temperature of the cylinder body.

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.

A screw with a spiral blade for extruding a plastic elastomer while kneading the plastic elastomer, the screw includes a kneading region where the spiral blade is provided with cutout portions being configured to pass pins, and a plasticizing region being arranged on a downstream side in an extrusion direction of the kneading region. The plasticizing region includes a barrier extending between portions adjacently in the extrusion direction of the spiral blade.
