Services
Vent Port Stuffers
Our vent port stuffers prevent material loss during extrusion processes using self-wiping twin-screw designs. These components maintain vacuum integrity while removing air and moisture, improving production capacity and reducing downtime. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel with precision tolerances, they ensure compatibility with various twin-screw and single-screw extruders across demanding industrial applications.
Screw Elements
Custom screw elements are produced from corrosion-resistant steels with optional nitriding or stainless steel alloys. Designed for plastic and food production industries, these components feature precision engineering to withstand high wear environments. We offer standard ex-stock items alongside bespoke configurations to meet specific client requirements for performance and longevity.
Barrels & Liners
Parallel barrels and liners manufactured up to 400mm lengths with tailored modifications. Our precision-machined components ensure optimal extruder performance, available in materials suited to high-pressure environments. Bespoke designs and adaptations are supported through our engineering expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
Shaft Stripping
Professional shaft stripping service removes worn elements while preserving shaft integrity. Our engineers handle complete rebuilds or configuration changes, acknowledging potential element breakage during removal. This service minimises production downtime by efficiently preparing shafts for new component installations with minimal disruption to client operations.
On-Site Fitting
Experienced engineers provide on-site installation of barrels, shafts, and elements. This service supports clients with resource constraints, ensuring correct component fitting and optimal machine performance. Rapid deployment teams address maintenance needs promptly, reducing downtime and maintaining production efficiency across industrial facilities.
