We have several presses that have various designed screws. I told the head engineer that I needed to know which screw was in what press. He asked "w

It's possible that the problem may be the design of your boss, wall thickness, and coring for the screw hole.

Most screws have these three zones:
Feed zone. Also called solids conveying. This zone feeds the resin into the extruder, and the channel depth is usually the same throughout the zone.
Melting zone. Also called the transition or compression zone. Most of the resin is melted in this section, and the channel depth gets smaller and smaller.
Metering zone. Also called melt conveying. This zone, in which channel depth is again the same throughout the zone, melts the last particles and mixes to a uniform temperature and composition.
In addition, a vented (two-stage) screw will have:
Decompression zone. In this zone, about two-thirds down the screw, the channel suddenly gets deeper, which relieves the pressure and allows any trapped gases (usually moisture or air) to be drawn out by vacuum.
Second metering zone. This zone is like the first metering zone, but with greater channel depth, and repressurizes the melt to get it through the resistance of the screens and the die.
Often screw length is referenced to its diameter as L:D ratio. For instance, a 6-inch (150 mm) diameter screw at 24:1 will be 144 inches (12 ft) long, and at 32:1 it is 192 inches (16 ft) long. An L:D ratio of 24:1 is common, but some machines go up to 32:1 for more mixing and more output at the same screw diameter. Two-stage (vented) screws are typically 36:1 to account for the two extra zones.
Each zone is equipped with one or more thermocouples or RTDs in the barrel wall for temperature control.

RE: Screw design
I think your idea is right. I've read som book, each machine such as food machine, plastic machine...have its screw type. but i don't know more about them. maybe, you should find more information on OWC, ect. sory if my english skill is bad.good luck
RE: Screw design
because you want to know!
