Practical Guide to Exhibiting | 3 Key Changes to Watch for at Chinaplas 2026

01、High torque is becoming the industry "default."

An increasing number of twin-screw extruders are evolving toward high-torque specifications (torque density: 15+).

This entails:

· Higher throughput requirements;

· More complex material systems;

· Greater mechanical loads.

Consequently, there are higher demands regarding the strength and stability of screws and shafts.

02. Shifting from "Price" to "Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)"

More and more customers are focusing on:

· Service life;

· Stability;

· Costs associated with downtime.

rather than just the initial purchase price. A more stable system often translates to lower long-term costs.

03、The true point of differentiation is shifting back to the "manufacturing process itself."

Against a backdrop where mechanical structures and materials are increasingly converging,

manufacturing capabilities have become the core source of differentiation. Examples include:

· mandrel machining methods;

· material heat treatment;

· machining precision and consistency.

These factors determine product performance under high-load operating conditions.
