A Conical Twin Screw Barrel is one of the most critical components in PVC extrusion and granulation lines. Its design directly influences plasticizing efficiency, material stability, output performance, and service life. When I evaluate extrusion equipment, I often find that the screw barrel structure determines more than 70% of the machine's final processing results. So, what makes this component so important? How does it improve production? And why do so many manufacturers trust E.J.S Industry Co., Ltd. for customized solutions? Let's explore these questions in detail.
A Conical Twin Screw Barrel is engineered for excellent shearing performance, stable feeding, strong mixing ability, and precise melting control. Its conical shape creates a gradual compression ratio, allowing PVC powder and additives to be plasticized evenly without degradation.
Main advantages include:
High torque transmission
Strong material conveying capability
Uniform melting and mixing
Extended wear and corrosion resistance
Improved output and product consistency
Long service life with reduced maintenance
This design is especially critical for PVC pipes, profiles, boards, granules, and WPC products.
At E.J.S Industry Co., Ltd., every Conical Twin Screw Barrel is produced using premium alloy materials such as 38CrMoALA, SKD61, or bimetallic layers. These materials undergo deep nitriding, vacuum quenching, and high-frequency hardening to ensure excellent durability.
Typical Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Screw Diameter | Ø45/90, Ø51/105, Ø55/110, Ø65/132, Ø80/156, Ø92/188 |
| L/D Ratio | 16–22:1 (customizable) |
| Material | 38CrMoALA / SKD61 / Bimetallic Alloy |
| Hardness (Nitrided Layer) | 700–900 HV |
| Nitriding Depth | 0.5–0.8 mm |
| Alloy Layer Hardness | > HRC 60 |
| Surface Roughness | Ra 0.4–0.6 μm |
| Straightness | 0.015 mm/m |
These parameters ensure high wear resistance, smooth surface finishing, and excellent torque support.
The geometry of the screw and barrel determines material flow, mixing intensity, and extrusion pressure. A well-designed Conical Twin Screw Barrel ensures excellent PVC processing results.
Core Structural Features
Conical screw design: Enhances compression stability
Optimized pitch: Boosts feeding capacity
Deep channel geometry: Improves melting efficiency
High-precision barrel: Prevents material leakage and backflow
Perfect intermeshing: Creates strong shearing and mixing actions
Key Benefits in Real Production
Faster plasticizing at lower temperatures
Stable extrusion pressure for consistent output
Smooth surface finish of extruded products
Higher resistance to wear when processing CaCO₃-filled PVC
Lower energy consumption and longer component lifespan
Production lines equipped with high-quality screw barrels experience significantly higher efficiency and lower defect rates. Based on feedback from global customers of E.J.S Industry Co., Ltd., the improvements include:
10–25% higher output due to better feeding and compression
Reduced color difference thanks to more uniform mixing
Longer service life, especially when using bimetallic alloys
Smoother pipe and profile accuracy due to stable pressure
Optimized processing temperature, protecting PVC resin from degradation
These advantages directly enhance factory profitability and product competitiveness.
A Conical Twin Screw Barrel is suitable for a wide range of PVC processing equipment:

1. What makes a Conical Twin Screw Barrel better than a parallel type?
A conical design provides higher torque, better feeding of PVC powder, and stronger compression. This results in more stable production, making it ideal for pipes and profiles that require strong extrusion pressure.
2. How long does a Conical Twin Screw Barrel typically last?
Service life depends on material and formula. Nitrided screws last around 1–3 years, while bimetallic Conical Twin Screw Barrels can last 3–5 years or more, especially when processing CaCO₃-filled PVC.
3. Can a Conical Twin Screw Barrel be customized for my extruder model?
Yes. E.J.S Industry Co., Ltd. provides full customization, including diameter, L/D ratio, compression section, and alloy layer thickness, ensuring optimal performance for your production line.
4. What should I consider before choosing a Conical Twin Screw Barrel?
Key factors include material formulation (PVC, WPC, filled compounds), expected output, machine type, and wear resistance requirements. Providing these details helps us recommend the most suitable screw barrel design.
