What are the screw profiles for the MDPE10?

Standard Screw - Mixer Element (EX6-625-ME): Our stock general purpose screw profile with an additional mixer element for mixing and compounding extrusion applications. Works well for mixing additives, fillers, and co-polymer formulations.

Standard Screw (EX6-625): Our standard screw is designed for most PLA and ABS grades typically used for 3D printing, as well as other polymers with a similar melt viscosity. Our standard screw works best with pellets and granules in the 2-5mm size range.

Standard Profile for High Abrasion Materials (EX6-625-N): Standard screw with a nitrated surface for high abrasion material extrusion.

Standard Higher Shear (EX6-120-C2): This screw is the same spec as our Standard Screw, only shallower (high shear). This design can improve performance when using powders and smaller pellets (3mm and under).

High Compression Screw (EX6-120-C3): Best for pellets/granules in the 3mm and under range. This screw offers a higher compression than our Standard Screw.

Low Compression Screw (EX6-145-C125): This screw can improve performance with higher melt viscosity polymers which require less compression. Pellets and granules in the 2-4mm size range work best with this screw.

No Compression Screw (EX6-145-C0): This screw can improve performance with higher melt viscosity polymers which require no compression. Pellets and granules in the 2-4mm size range work best with this screw.
