Hot-melt extruder principle
l Hot-melt extruder technology : Two or more of the samples were placed in a temperature controlled barrel,together heated to a molten state.Under the action of the screw, the samples were cut, mix, and finally through a die under a certain pressure,become dispersed uniformly shaped product
l Hot-melt extruder basic idea:Place multiple segments threaded element within different functions in the axial space.So that multiple samples size decreases, and mutual penetration and exchange,eventually achieve molecular level mixing。
