Abstract

The surface temperature of the root of the screw is an important factor for solids conveying, melting, and the conveying of molten resin in a single-screw extruder. Screw temperature data, however, are rarely available due to the difficulties in sensor placement and the transfer of electrical signals through rotating shafts. This study measures the surface temperature of the screw as a function of the axial position during operation.
