barrels & liners for
plastics extruders
Our solid/clamshell replacement barrels are supplied in either nitrided or through hardened tool steels with corrosive or abrasive resistant properties for the plastics industry.
In cases of extreme abrasive wear, (e.g. highly loads of abrasive fillers, glass or carbon fibres) your barrel liners can be manufactured from a high vanadium powder-metallurgy HIP’d steel.
Using our specialist knowledge, gained over many years of designing and manufacturing twin screw extruders with a number of major OEM's, as well as working closely with our valued customers, we can offer advice and Engineering solutions to your wear or corrosive problems on any APV / Baker Perkins, Coperion W&P, Leistritz, OMC or Theysohn extruder.
Xtrutech can clean out blocked water channels in barrel housing and circulation blocks (APV Machines) in most cases without any machining required – Acid washing can be done either in situ subject to local H&S requirements, or in Xtrutech’s workshop where we can also refurbish or change the liner if required
