I'd like to know if there is an alternative solution to the feed screw in the extruders. We are investigating the potential application of a new kind of pump in place of the screw inside the extruders.

Although a lot of alternatives have been tried, the only commercially successful plastication and pumping methods involve a screw or screws.
