For rubber extruders, based on their feeding method, they can be classified into cold-feed rubber extruders and hot-feed rubber extruders. Cold-feed rubber extruders use forced feeding, where the rubber is conveyed through side pressure rollers into the extruder’s screw barrel for processing. After the extruder’s temperature control system raises the rubber’s temperature, its flowability within the screw barrel is enhanced, allowing the rotating screw to extrude and shape the rubber through the die. The key difference between cold-feed and hot-feed rubber extruders lies in the fact that cold-feed extruders employ forced feeding and incorporate a temperature-control system to regulate the equipment’s temperature.

For rubber extruders, based on their feeding method, they can be classified into cold-feed and hot-feed types. A cold-feed rubber extruder employs forced feeding, using side pressure rollers to propel the rubber into the extruder’s screw barrel for processing. After the extruder’s temperature‑control system raises the rubber’s temperature, its flowability within the barrel is enhanced, enabling the screw’s rotation to extrude and shape the material through the die. The key difference between cold‑feed and hot‑feed extruders lies in the feeding mechanism: the cold‑feed model uses forced feeding and incorporates a temperature‑control unit to regulate the equipment’s temperature. Its temperature‑control system can maintain a constant operating temperature even as the self‑generated heat rises. In contrast, a hot‑feed extruder cannot sustain continuous production; after operating for a certain period and reaching a specific internal temperature, it must be shut down to allow the equipment to cool naturally before resuming operation.
