In order to improve upon the | Despite this friction force being essential to moving the material down the barrel of the extruder, the creation of this force requires a large amount of energy and can have ill effects on the part's properties. In order to improve upon the energy efficiencies of the extrusion process, the twin-screw extruder will be discussed as a more efficient improvement on this single-screw extruder. | ||
