WE PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR EXTRUDER SCREW BY 6-8 TIMES LONGER THAN OEM
WE ARE THE SCREW AND BARREL REPAIR AND REBUILD EXPERTS
WE CAN REPAIR & RECONDITION ALL TYPES OF SCREWS AND BARRELS
When we receive your screw for rebuilding, our team performs a thorough inspection of the overall condition of your screw which will help us locate and determine the main cause of component failure. Repair and rebuild services include flight repairs, root and radius repairs, and also screw tip repairs. When a screw is rebuilt properly, without narrowing flight widths, the screw can be rebuilt time and time again, resulting in massive savings for your company.
With almost 50 years of screw rebuilding experience, we have developed many of the standard screw building and rebuilding processes used in the industry today. Trust the experts in screw rebuilding with your production.
Screw Wear
The performance of a given plasticating unit is defined by the feed screw’s ability to melt and convey the desired rate and quality of polymer to the die or mold. As the screw flights, channel geometry, and surface treatment wear, performance and quality degrades while energy consumption soars. The overall screw design and material(s) processed has a major impact on the wear-life of the plasticating unit, so it is vital to monitor screw wear and performance, regardless of application. Minor wear will have little effect on the overall performance – as machine parameters can be adjusted to maintain productivity. As the radial clearance gap between the screw and barrel increases, energy costs and cycle times rise while rate and quality plummet.
To avoid costly downtime it is important for every company to have a robust maintenance program in place. When screw wear isn’t monitored, the overall wear on the screw can become so severe it is no longer economical to rebuild – leaving you with crippling downtime that can ultimately cost more than the components you attempted to salvage.
