Optimized Auxiliary Systems Engineered for Custom Screw Extrusion Configurations
BAOD EXTRUSION (Jiangsu Baodie Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.), established in 2002, stands as a premier authority in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of custom plastic extrusion equipment.
Building on over 25 years of accumulated engineering expertise from our original Taiwan parent company (KINGSWEL GROUP)—which set up its core extrusion manufacturing base in Shanghai in 1999—we have dedicated our research to refining precision melt dynamics, screw geometry optimization, and specialized metallurgy. Today, BAOD delivers complete extrusion lines powered by custom-tailored screw geometries that serve critical sectors worldwide, including medical catheters, multi-layer automotive hoses, and high-performance industrial profiles.
Our long-term R&D initiatives focus heavily on the mechanical and thermodynamic factors that dictate the quality of extruded polymer products. We concentrate specifically on:
Achieving Thermal Homogeneity and Precise Shear Control for Advanced Polymers
In high-performance extrusion, a standard "one-size-fits-all" screw is a major source of inefficiency and material failure. To maximize output and quality, the screw geometry must be engineered in direct alignment with the polymer's unique rheological profile. At BAOD Extrusion, we analyze the specific behaviors of target resins—such as PA12, PU, TPU, PVC, and HDPE—to optimize the thermodynamic transitions inside the barrel.
A typical high-performance single screw features three distinct functional zones, each designed with unique channel volumes to compress, melt, and pump polymer materials:
Receives the solid polymer pellets. We customize the depth of the feed zone to accommodate the bulk density of the specific resin, ensuring consistent, uniform intake without bridging or starvation.
The channel depth decreases progressively, forcing the solid pellets against the heated barrel walls. The compression ratio (the ratio of feed depth to metering depth) is precisely selected between 1.5 and 4.0 depending on whether the polymer is crystalline or amorphous.
Delivers the molten polymer to the die head under constant pressure and flow rate. This zone is calibrated to eliminate pressure oscillations and ensure uniform wall thickness of the extruded tube or profile.
To eliminate unmelts and achieve complete color masterbatch distribution without over-shearing the polymer, BAOD integrates specialized mixing elements. We leverage Maddock mixers to apply high-shear rates across narrow clearances, filtering out unmelted gel particles, and pineapple mixers (distributive mixers) to break up flow channels and distribute pigments uniformly.
Additionally, our barrier screw designs isolate the melted film from the solid bed via a secondary flight. This configuration prevents the solid polymer bed from breaking up prematurely, leading to a massive increase in output efficiency and thermal homogeneity at high line speeds.
Advanced Production Lines Configured with Proprietary Screw Designs
Leveraging Modern Manufacturing Ecosystems for Uncompromising Reliability
By locating our heavy-duty manufacturing base in Jiangsu, BAOD gains immediate access to the world's most robust industrial supply chain. From high-grade raw metals like 38CrMoAlA (the gold standard for nitrided nitriding steel) to specialized bimetallic casting houses, our physical proximity to high-capacity metalworking hubs reduces lead times significantly. This enables us to source, heat-treat, CNC-machine, nitride, and test high-precision extrusion screws in a fraction of the time required by European competitors.
Additionally, BAOD maintains full internal quality control over every manufacturing stage. We utilize advanced multi-axis CNC thread grinders and precise inspection equipment to ensure flight profile deviations are kept under 0.01mm. This combination of localized supply chain cost-efficiencies and rigorous Taiwanese engineering principles delivers high-performance machinery at highly competitive total costs of ownership.
For multinational corporations and global manufacturers, sourcing extrusion hardware is not just about the purchase price; it requires strict adherence to international operational compliance, machine life expectancy, and ease of maintenance. Key purchasing parameters include:
Operating a global production network demands compliance with local health, safety, and operational regulations. BAOD designs all extrusion lines to meet international safety criteria, including:
The plastic extrusion industry is undergoing a digital revolution. Future-proof screw designs are transitioning toward smart manufacturing systems:
Custom Screw Configurations Designed for Industry-Specific Extrusion Challenges
For precision medical tubing (e.g., multi-lumen tubes, IV catheters), polymer stability is critical. BAOD designs specialized low-shear, high-output single screws that process PVC and TPU without causing shear heating or polymer breakdown, guaranteeing exceptional dimensional accuracy.
Automotive fuel systems utilize multi-layer PA12 tubes with protective barrier layers to prevent vapor emissions. Our custom co-extrusion screw configurations ensure perfect adhesion between the distinct polymer layers by precisely controlling melt temperatures at the die entry.
Processing PE and PP for flexible single-wall and double-wall corrugated pipes requires high melt capacity. We implement high-speed compression screws coupled with specialized cooling systems to maximize throughput while preventing thermal fluctuations.
