Extruder with Auger Capacity

[jemstone]

Good day everyone,

Is the flowrate of the extrusion always equal the capacity of the auger inside? Or are there calculations for extruder hole and auger capacity?

Cheers!

Depends on what you are extruding - pasta dough? wood chips for briquettes? plastic pellets? 60xx Aluminum? But yes, generally the flow rate will be some function of the extruder rpm or ram linear velocity (there are many different types of extruders...)

Thank you, the material is dough, do you have recommendations where I can find the relationship between auger capacity and extruder outlet size?

Hey! I guess the flow rate isn’t always equal to the auger capacity. You might need to consider things like dough consistency and hole size too. Have you looked into any specific guides or resources for dough extrusion?
