Extruder Type | High-volume standard profile production | Single-screw design (ISO 1584:2018) | Cost-effective for consistent output in basic extrusion tasks | Limited to simpler material blends compared to twin-screw systems |
Material Compatibility | Diverse production needs | Processes 5+ materials (PE/PVC/PU/EVA/PA) (ASTM D3295) ▲▲ (Industry: 3-4 materials, Base: 4 materials) | Flexibility for medical tubing, packaging, and industrial parts | Requires frequent material changeovers for mixed production runs |
Screw L/D Ratio | High-precision extrusion | 28:1 (ISO 1584) ▲▲ (Industry: 20:1, Base: 24:1) | Enhanced melt quality and output consistency for complex profiles | Longer screw increases energy demand and maintenance complexity |
Screw Material | Abrasive material processing | 38CrMoAlA alloy (ASTM A228) ▲ (Industry: 4140 steel, Base: 42CrMo) | Superior corrosion resistance and durability for harsh chemicals | Higher upfront cost compared to standard alloys |
Warranty Period | Long-term investment planning | 5 years (ISO 14971) ▲▲ (Industry: 2 years, Base: 3 years) | Reduced downtime risks and lower long-term maintenance costs | Requires adherence to strict service agreements for full coverage |
Safety Features | Regulated manufacturing environments | Guarded extrusion area + emergency stop (ISO 13849-1) ▲ (Industry: Basic guards, Base: Partial guards) | Compliance with OSHA standards and reduced operator injury risks | Increased upfront cost for advanced safety components |
Control System | Automated production lines | PLC-based touchscreen (IEC 61131-3) ▲▲ (Industry: Manual controls, Base: Basic PLC) | Precision temperature/pressure control for repeatable quality | Requires operator training for advanced features |
Noise Level | Noise-sensitive environments | 72 dBA (IEC 60704-1) ▲ (Industry: 85 dBA, Base: 78 dBA) | Ideal for open-plan factories or medical device production facilities | May require additional soundproofing for ultra-quiet settings |
Modular Design | Custom profile production | Adjustable die mounts + interchangeable components (ISO 9283) | Rapid reconfiguration for varied product dimensions and shapes | Initial setup time increases with customization complexity |
