What factors should be considered when setting parameters for the extruder of WPC decking production line?

When setting the parameters of the extruder of WPC decking production line, the following factors usually need to be considered:

1. Raw material characteristics: including the type of plastic, melt flow index, wood powder particle size, moisture content of wood powder, etc. Different characteristics will affect the extrusion process.
2. Product specification requirements: The thickness, width, shape, etc. of the floor determine the settings of parameters such as extrusion volume and extrusion speed.
3. Extruder performance: such as screw diameter, aspect ratio, speed range, etc., should be reasonably set according to the equipment capacity.
4. Temperature control: It is necessary to consider the melting point, softening point, etc. of plastic and wood powder, and set the appropriate temperature distribution in the heating zone.
5. Extrusion pressure: Ensure enough pressure to achieve good extrusion molding, but not too high to overload the equipment.
6. Cooling requirements: Determine the appropriate cooling method and cooling rate based on the extrusion speed and product characteristics.
7. Production efficiency needs: balance quality and efficiency, set appropriate parameters to achieve the desired production speed.
8. Mold characteristics: Different molds also have specific requirements for extrusion parameters.
9. Process stability: Consider the impact of parameter settings on the stability of the production process to avoid fluctuations and defects.
10. Energy consumption: On the premise of meeting production requirements, energy consumption should be reduced as much as possible.
