Overview

The SJSZ series conical twin screw extruder is purpose-built for direct PVC powder extrusion — no pre-granulation required. With six models spanning 60 to 800 kg/hr output capacity, the SJSZ line serves manufacturers producing PVC pipes, window/door profiles, WPC decking, foam boards, sheets, and PVC compound pellets. The conical screw geometry generates high compression ratio and large surface area in the feed zone, making it the industry-standard design for processing heat-sensitive PVC formulations at low screw speeds (1–45 rpm) without thermal degradation.


Chenxing Machinery has manufactured and exported conical twin screw extruders to PVC processors across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America for over 15 years. From a single SJSZ-45 for a startup pipe workshop to a bank of SJSZ-92 machines feeding a high-output corrugated pipe line, every extruder is factory-tested with your formulation before shipment.

Key Features

Conical Twin Screw Geometry — The PVC Standard

Why conical and not parallel? PVC is shear-sensitive — it degrades above 200°C. The conical design achieves three things in one geometry: large intake volume at the feed end to accept low-bulk-density PVC dry-blend powder; progressive compression along the tapered screw length (typically 1:2.5–1:3) to compact and plasticize without excessive shear; and high discharge pressure at the smaller-diameter metering end to push melt through the die head. The result: gelation rates above 95% with melt temperature held at 170–185°C — well below the degradation threshold. For manufacturers already producing PVC corrugated pipes or WPC profiles, the SJSZ conical extruder is the natural choice.

Counter-Rotating Outward — Self-Cleaning and Low Residence Time

Both screws rotate outward (away from each other at the intermeshing apex), creating a continuous C-shaped melt channel that advances material forward with minimal backflow. This counter-rotating outward configuration provides: (1) positive displacement conveying — output is proportional to screw speed, making throughput highly predictable; (2) self-wiping action — screw flight tips continuously scrape the barrel wall and the mating screw, preventing PVC stagnation and black-spot contamination; (3) narrow residence time distribution — every particle spends approximately the same time in the barrel, eliminating over-cooked material that causes surface defects on the finished product.


Segmented Screw Elements — One Barrel, Unlimited Formulations

The SJSZ screw shaft accepts interchangeable conveying, kneading, and mixing elements in a segmented design. For rigid PVC pipe: a deep-feed conveying section followed by a long compression zone with narrow-pitch kneading blocks to maximize gelation at 80–120 kg/hr. For PVC foam board: a shorter compression section with wider-pitch mixing elements to retain blowing agent dispersion. For PVC compound granulation: reverse-flighted elements after the metering zone to create back-pressure and dispersive mixing. Chenxing Machinery provides screw configuration drawings for each application — you do not need to guess element placement. Our hot-cold mixing units are designed to feed directly into the SJSZ hopper with automatic vacuum loading.


PID Multi-Zone Temperature Control

Each barrel heating zone is independently controlled by a PID temperature module with ceramic band heaters and air-cooling fans for active cooling when barrel temperature overshoots the setpoint. Typical zone settings for rigid PVC pipe: Zone 1 (feed): 160°C → Zone 2: 165°C → Zone 3: 170°C → Zone 4 (metering): 175°C. The melt thermocouple at the adapter flange reads actual melt temperature within ±1°C, and the system automatically adjusts cooling fan speed to maintain setpoint regardless of ambient factory temperature — critical for factories in hot climates like West Africa and the Middle East.


Torque-Limiting Coupling and Overload Protection

The main motor drives the screw pair through a hardened gearbox with crowned-tooth helical gears and a torque-limiting safety coupling. If a foreign object enters the barrel, the coupling disengages before screw or gearbox damage occurs — a feature that has saved Chenxing customers thousands of dollars in avoidable repair costs. An ammeter on the control panel provides real-time motor load readout, allowing the operator to adjust feed rate before overload conditions develop.



Production Process

Step 1: PVC Dry-Blend Preparation

PVC resin is pre-mixed with stabilizers (calcium-zinc or lead-based), lubricants (paraffin wax, calcium stearate), impact modifiers (CPE or acrylic), fillers (calcium carbonate, 5–30 phr), and processing aids in a Chenxing hot-cold mixer. The high-speed hot mixer heats to 110–120°C, at which point the compound is automatically discharged to the cold mixer and cooled to below 40°C before feeding into the SJSZ extruder hopper.


Step 2: Gravimetric Feeding and Barrel Feeding

The cooled PVC dry-blend is transferred by vacuum loader into the extruder hopper. A gravimetric feeder (optional, recommended for SJSZ-65 and above) doses material into the feed throat at a controlled rate, maintaining a consistent fill level in the feed zone — this eliminates output fluctuation caused by irregular bridging of low-bulk-density powder in the hopper.


Step 3: Plasticizing and Homogenizing

As the conical screws convey material forward through 4–8 heating zones, PVC particles undergo compaction in the feed zone, transition to a gel state in the compression zone, and reach full melt homogeneity in the metering zone. The counter-rotating outward screw motion generates gentle but thorough kneading action — all particles experience uniform shear history, and melt temperature at the screw tip remains at 170–185°C for rigid PVC formulations.


Step 4: Melt Filtration and Die Head Extrusion

The homogeneous melt passes through a screen changer (80/100/120 mesh depending on product surface quality requirements) to remove any unmelted particles or contaminants, then enters the die head. Die head design — pipe die, profile die, or pelletizing die — is custom-configured per your product. The extruder's high discharge pressure (12–25 MPa) ensures consistent die flow without pulsation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why choose a conical twin screw extruder over a parallel twin screw for PVC?

Conical screws have larger intake volume at the feed end to accept low-bulk-density PVC powder, and progressive compression without excessive shear — preventing thermal degradation. Parallel twin screws with smaller feed-end diameter struggle with powder bridging and require a crammer feeder. For PVC dry-blend direct extrusion, conical geometry remains the industry standard.


2. What PVC products can the SJSZ extruder produce?

With appropriate downstream tooling: rigid PVC pipes (16–400 mm), window/door profiles, WPC decking, PVC foam boards, PVC sheets, and PVC compound pellets. The extruder handles formulations with 5–30 phr calcium carbonate filler and up to 8 phr impact modifier without screw configuration changes.


3. What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ is 1 complete SJSZ extruder with standard screw configuration for your application. Screw elements, barrel bushings, heating bands, and gearbox spare parts can be reordered individually with no minimum quantity. A complete PVC pipe extrusion line including downstream equipment can be ordered as a turnkey package.


4. What certifications does the SJSZ series hold?

All SJSZ extruders are CE certified, manufactured under ISO 9001:2015. Motors are Siemens/ABB IEC-compliant. Electrical cabinet meets IP54 protection rating. For regional certifications — UL, SASO, SONCAP, GOST — we configure compliant components during order specification. Full certification documentation is included with shipment.


5. How long does delivery and commissioning take?

Standard delivery: 55–70 working days. On-site installation and commissioning by Chenxing Machinery engineers: 7–10 working days. Free remote video guidance is available for buyers using local teams. A complete PVC pipe extrusion line including downstream equipment adds approximately 10–15 working days to delivery time.


6. What warranty is provided?

24-month warranty on the extruder mainframe — gearbox, screw pair, barrel, and thrust bearing assembly. 12-month warranty on electrical components, heating bands, and temperature controllers. Lifetime free online technical support. Paid on-site service is available within 7 working days globally. Spare parts ship within 48 hours.


7. How much does an SJSZ conical twin screw extruder cost?

FOB price depends on model, screw configuration, motor brand, and optional accessories (gravimetric feeder, vacuum loader, screen changer, melt pump). Contact our sales team with your product type, target hourly output, and PVC formulation for a detailed quotation within 24 hours. Every quotation includes a free CAD factory layout drawing.


8. What utilities and floor space are required?

Floor space: approximately 4–10 m × 2–3 m depending on model. Power: 15–110 kW at 380V/50Hz three-phase. Cooling water for the feed throat: 0.5–1.5 m³/hr at 15–25°C. Compressed air: 0.6 MPa. No special foundation — a level concrete floor with vibration-damping pads is sufficient.


9. How do I switch between rigid PVC pipe and PVC foam board production?

The screw configuration may need adjustment — foam formulations typically require wider-pitch mixing elements and a shorter compression section. Screw element changeover takes 4–6 hours. Additionally, the downstream equipment (pipe die/tank vs. sheet die/calender) must be swapped. Chenxing provides screw configuration drawings for each application.


10. What is the typical energy consumption per kilogram of PVC processed?

For rigid PVC pipe production on SJSZ-65 at 250 kg/hr: approximately 0.15–0.18 kWh/kg including barrel heating. The SJSZ-92 at 700 kg/hr achieves approximately 0.14–0.16 kWh/kg due to higher throughput efficiency. Energy consumption is documented in the factory acceptance test report provided with every machine.


11. How is quality verified before shipment?

Every SJSZ extruder undergoes a factory acceptance test at our Zhangjiagang facility: screw assembly inspected for runout, gearbox tested under load for 4 hours, all heating zones and PID controllers calibrated, and a full production run using your specified PVC formulation (or a standard rigid PVC reference compound). Test reports and video documentation are included with shipment.


12. Can the SJSZ extruder process recycled PVC?

Yes, with limitations. The SJSZ handles up to 30% recycled PVC regrind blended with virgin compound. For higher recycled content (50–70%), we recommend pre-compounding the recyclate through our pelletizing system before feeding into the SJSZ extruder. This ensures consistent melt quality and prevents contaminants from reaching the die head.
