Services
Vent Port Stuffers
Our Vent Port Stuffers prevent material leakage during extrusion processes using a self-wiping twin-screw design. These components enable full vacuum operation, moisture removal, and reduced downtime through precision engineering. Clients benefit from extended component lifespan in high-pressure environments across twin and single-screw extruders.
Twin Screw Elements
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant steels and custom alloys, our twin screw elements ensure durability in industrial applications. Nitriding and stainless steel options accommodate specific operational demands. These precision-engineered components maintain exact tolerances for optimal extrusion performance in plastics and food production sectors.
Shafts & Tips
We produce a comprehensive range of shafts and tips engineered for industrial extrusion equipment. Components are manufactured to exact specifications using advanced machining techniques. Our services include on-site shaft stripping and element replacement to maintain operational efficiency for clients.
Barrels & Liners
Parallel barrels and liners are precision-manufactured in lengths up to 400mm using wear-resistant materials. Bespoke designs and modifications are available to meet specific client requirements. Our capabilities include adapter integration for enhanced extruder performance and compatibility.
Dies & Moulds
Utilising advanced 3D CAD software, we design and produce custom dies and moulds for industrial extrusion processes. Components are engineered for precision tolerances and material efficiency. Our digital design capabilities ensure rapid prototyping and accurate production specifications.
