Single screws

We can supply a complete range of extrusion screws. Based on our large experience we can recommend the proper type of steel and surface treatment to minimize wear. According to customer’s needs we can propose nitriding steel, stainless steel, tool steel and also sintered steels (CPM/PM).

[ 02 ]
Screws according to OEM’s specifications

We deliver screws according to OEM’s specification.A screw is the heart of the process and determines the the productivity and the quality of the molded parta. For this reason we can deliver screws with a Maxi Melt design that can help you to optimise your production.

[ 03 ]
Deliver better surface

Our screws can be delivers with all kind of treatmenst to improve surface conditions and to improve plasticizing. A beter surface finish will improve plasticizing and reduce reject rate. All these improvements are just standard for us, so that we can bind the fulfilment of these objectives to the purchase of the screw.

The advantage of our extrusion screws

Up to date machinery and CAD CAM facilities make it possible to manufacture high quality complex products with tight tolerances from different kind of materials to be selected from case to case with a high surface finish suitable to withstand wear and or corrosion conditions

The modification of the screwprofile can improve the plasticizing process.

Improved durability by using hardened, powder metallurgical materials and welding with tungsten carbide alloys on the flight-tops.

Optional we can use coatings to reduce friction.
