barrels & liners for
powder coating compounders
Our solid and clamshell replacement barrels are supplied in either nitrided or through hardened tool steels with corrosive or abrasive resistant properties for the powder coating industry.
In cases of extreme wear, (e.g. highly filled powder coatings) 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 Engineer solutions to your wear problems on any APV / Baker Perkin, Coperion W&P, 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
