Materials

We can supply a complete range of parallel twin 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 eventuallly welded with tool steel or other materials.

Screws according to OEM’s specifications

We deliver screws according to OEM’s specification.The screws are the heart of the process and determines the the productivity and the quality of the product.

[ 03 ]
Profiles

Maxi Melt can make screws with all kind of profiles which are in use with the customer.

[ 04 ]
The advantage of our 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.

High tensile strength material is used to withstand the high proces work and requirements.

Improved durability to weld the flight-tops with high abrasive resistant material.

High surface finish to reduce friction.

Materials for plasticizing screws

Choosing the right screw material is important to have the right performance in order to reduce wear and corrosion problems

Welding materials for the screw flights

For larger screw sizes we often use nitrided materials with the flighttips welded welded with different materials options. This creates wear/corrosion protection or improves friction/lubrication.
