FOOD EXTRUSION PROCESSING: AN OVERVIEW
pubs.cahnrs.wsu.eduThe most common extruder types used in food processing are single-screw extruders and twin-screw extruders. A single-screw extruder consists of only one screw housed in the barrel that often has a fluted or grooved design. Additionally, the screw in a single-screw extruder is usually designed with a decreasing pitch to create compression.
Introduction to Extrusion - Dynisco
www.dynisco.comWith a single screw extruder the hopper is filled and the screw takes in the material at the rate it wants. Such a scheme, called flood feeding, is often not possible with twin screw machines. This is because the very positive feeding characteristics of twin screw machines may result in very high forces being generated.

SCREW DESIGN BASICS - TAPPI
www.tappi.orgThe single screw extruder is basically a volumetric pump. It is not a positive displacement device. Variations in feeding result in variations in output. Solid conveying, melting, pumping and mixing occur simultaneously and are inter-dependent.
