In today’s industrial production, extruder, as an important processing equipment, is widely used in the production of plastics, rubber, fiber and other materials. However, with the intensification of market competition and environmental protection requirements, how to improve the production efficiency of extruders, reduce energy consumption and improve product quality has become an urgent problem. And the emergence of permanent magnet synchronous motor provides a new solution for the upgrading of extruders.

 

Operating Principle and Characteristics of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

Permanent magnet synchronous motor is a kind of motor driven by using permanent magnets to generate magnetic field, and its working principle and characteristics are different from the traditional asynchronous motor. The operating principle of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is mainly based on the interaction between the magnetic field and the electric current. When a permanent magnet is placed in a magnetic field, it is subjected to magnetic force and rotates. At the same time, when the current passes through the stator windings, it also generates a magnetic field, and this magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnet, causing the rotor to continue to rotate. Since the rotor of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is driven by the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets, it does not require an excitation current, which reduces energy loss and improves efficiency.

Compared to asynchronous motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors have their own unique advantages and characteristics:

High efficiency

The efficiency of permanent magnet synchronous motors is very high, usually more than 10% higher than asynchronous motors. This is due to the fact that the rotor of a permanent magnet synchronous motor is driven by a magnetic field generated by permanent magnets, which does not require an excitation current, thus reducing energy losses. In addition, the control system of permanent magnet synchronous motors is more advanced, and precise control of the motor can be achieved through vector control technology, further improving efficiency.

High torque density

Permanent magnet synchronous motors have a higher torque density than asynchronous motors. This is due to the higher magnetic field strength of the permanent magnets, which can produce greater torque. As a result, permanent magnet synchronous motors are able to meet the demands of heavy-duty applications such as extruders.

Precise control

Permanent magnet synchronous motors have a more advanced control system that allows for precise control of the motor through vector control technology. This control method can realize precise control of speed, torque, current and other parameters, thus meeting the special needs of extruders and other equipment for drive motors.

High Reliability

The structure of permanent magnet synchronous motor is relatively simple, which reduces mechanical friction and wear, thus improving the reliability of the motor. In addition, because the control system of permanent magnet synchronous motors is more advanced, it can reduce the incidence of malfunctions, further improving reliability.

Low Noise

Permanent magnet synchronous motors operate with low noise, which can reduce noise pollution and improve the quality of the production environment. This is due to the simple structure and stable operation of permanent magnet synchronous motors, which reduces mechanical friction and vibration.

 

Extruder working principle and requirements

Extruder is a kind of mechanical equipment which makes materials into continuous profiles with certain shapes and sizes by extruding and plasticizing them. Its working principle is mainly through the rotation of the screw and the friction of the material between the screw and the barrel, the material will be pushed to the front end of the barrel to form a certain density of material mass. When the material mass reaches the front end of the barrel, due to the increase of pressure and temperature, the material starts to melt and be compressed, forming a high-density melt. Then, the melt passes through the head and the mouth mold, and is extruded into a continuous profile with the required shape and size.

The selection of a suitable drive motor is important for the normal operation of the extruder and the improvement of production efficiency. To maximize the effectiveness of the extruder, the following requirements are placed on the drive motor:

Stable material transportation

Extruders require stable material conveying to ensure uniform material flow and stability of the production process. Therefore, the requirement for the drive motor is to be able to provide stable torque and speed to ensure stable rotation of the screw.

Precise temperature control

Extruders require precise temperature control of the material to ensure smooth plasticization and melting. Therefore, the drive motor needs to have precise temperature control to ensure that the barrel and screw temperatures are stabilized within the required range.

Precise flow control

Extruders require precise flow control to ensure that the profiles produced are of a consistent size and shape. Therefore, the drive motor needs to be equipped with precise flow control functions to realize accurate control of material flow.

Energy efficient

Extruders need to be energy efficient in order to reduce production costs and increase productivity. Therefore, drive motors need to have energy efficient features to reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency.

Application of permanent magnet synchronous motor in extruder

As an efficient and energy-saving drive device, permanent magnet synchronous motor can be applied in the drive system of extruder. By connecting the permanent magnet synchronous motor with the screw of the extruder, stable rotation and precise control of the screw can be realized. At the same time, the control system of the permanent magnet synchronous motor can be precisely controlled according to the actual needs of the extruder to achieve precise control of material flow and temperature.

Not only that, the application of permanent magnet synchronous motor in extruder can realize energy saving and consumption reduction. Compared with asynchronous motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors have higher efficiency and lower energy consumption. At the same time, the control system of permanent magnet synchronous motor can be precisely controlled according to the actual demand, which further reduces the energy consumption. In addition, the structure of permanent magnet synchronous motor is simple and easy to maintain, which can reduce mechanical wear and failure and extend the service life of the equipment.
