This device can also be used in industries requiring precise heating and material processing, such as in the production of composite materials.


Original Abstract Submitted

a plasticizing device includes a flat screw that has a groove formation surface formed with a groove and is rotated about a rotation axis, a barrel that has a facing surface facing the groove formation surface and is formed with a communication hole, and a heating unit configured to heat a material supplied between the flat screw and the barrel. the barrel has a separate structure including a first member having the facing surface and a second member separated from the facing surface, a space is defined between the first member and the second member, and the heating unit is disposed in the second member.
