Manual cleaning method for disassembling screw and barrel
This method is to manually or automatically push out the extruder after the extruder is heated to working temperature to push out the screw to remove easily removed materials while it is hot. After cooling, it is put into an organic solvent tank containing cyclohexanone and soaked. When the molten deposit attached to the screw swells, the deposit is manually removed. The soaking time of the screw depends on the amount of attachment and the thickness of the gel. In order to reduce the use of solvents and facilitate the sealing of the container, use steel pipes or stainless steel pipes that are slightly thicker than the screw diameter, and one end of the welded seal can be used as a soaking tank. For safety reasons, the container for immersing the screw must be stored in a cool place away from fire and power sources. At the same time, the container must be sealed to prevent the solvent from evaporating, and a safety mark must be attached.

If the machine needs to be cleaned thoroughly, the extruder barrel can also be manually or solvent wiped to remove the glue attached to the inner wall of the barrel after it is opened while it is hot.
