The Principle of the Auger Extruder

  • John Bridgwater
Chapter
Part of the Engineering Materials and Processes book series (EMP)

Why is the extrusion of ceramics using an auger such a widespread and successful technology? Why is it that the auger extruder is of such interest to industry? What do we know about it? When will it work? How does it happen that the auger, a type of well-established equipment that certainly still lacks a complete scientific basis for its design, finds itself as the technology of choice in business for so many established and new products? Questions such as these underlie the discussion here.
