Twin Screw Extruders Features
All B&P Littleford twin-screw extruders – the BP, CT, and Specialty - have two intermeshing, co-rotating screws mounted on splined shafts in a closed barrel. The screws are tight and self-wiping, which eliminates stagnant zones over the entire length of the process section. This results in high efficiency and perfect self-cleaning.
Sized to operate for small-scale runs in the lab to large-scale manufacturing.

Modular segmented barrel sections
Various sized screws for maximum flexibility
Specially adapted upstream equipment for feeding
Touch display process control system that regulates and monitor the mixing process in real time
Productive - 30% greater intake capacity over traditional extruders
