According to a recent market study published by Growth Market Reports, titled, “Global Twin-screw Extruders Market By Type, By End-Use Industry, By Sales Channel, and By Region: Size, Share, Trends, and Opportunity Analysis, 2015-2030”, the market was valued at US$ 1,128.1 Million in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at a growth rate of 4.5% by 2031.
Twin-screw extruders enable efficient material mixing and shaping processes. Various types of powder mixtures that need to be combined, melted, and shaped are processed using these extruders.
Twin-screw extruders are highly efficient devices that are capable of processing several tons of plastic per hour. The flexibility of twin-screw extrusion equipment allows for the design of operations, specifically, for the formulation being processed. The two screws are co-rotating or counter-rotating, intermeshing or non-intermeshing. Varied configurations of the screws use forward conveying elements, reverse conveying elements, kneading blocks, and other designs to achieve particular mixing characteristics.
