Neutral kneading elements provide strong mixing with minimal conveying effect, ensuring stable residence time and high mixing efficiency.

Best suited for:

• High mixing zones

• Sensitive formulations

• Residence time control

SME elements introduce shallow reverse grooves on conveying flights, generating controlled melt backflow and improving distributive mixing.

Best suited for:

• Melt stage mixing

• General distributive mixing

• Applications requiring good self-cleaning

Single flight conveying elements provide higher conveying efficiency than standard double flight elements. Their wider flight design reduces leakage flow and increases pressure-building capability.

Best suited for:

• Feeding sections

• Extrusion zones

• Applications requiring strong conveying force

Transition elements are designed to connect different screw element geometries while minimizing dead zones and material retention.

Best suited for:

• Transition between single and double flight elements

• Connection between SK and standard conveying elements

• Geometry change zones within complex screw configurations

ZME elements combine reverse conveying structure with forward teeth, creating intensive cutting and recombination of melt flow.

Best suited for:

• High mixing intensity applications

• Difficult-to-disperse materials

• High-performance compounding

CKE elements combine conveying and mixing functions, providing gentle material exchange with low shear and reduced energy consumption.

Best suited for:

• Heat-sensitive materials

• Low-shear compounding processes

• Applications requiring stable conveying with mild mixing
