Extruder screw torque

Andrea Roberto Calore

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all. I made a model of the screw of an extruder and I would like to estimate the torque needed to extrude a polymer melt of a certain viscosity but I cannot find anything about it besides the number of rpm that can be set for the rotating wall.
How could I do this?
Thank you in advance!
