Bimetallic Extrusion Barrel Screw for Plastic Processing

Bimetallic construction combines a hard wear-resistant liner with precision honed close tolerances, providing superior wear resistance and significantly extended service life compared to standard single-material screws. This durable design reduces downtime and replacement costs while maintaining consistent processing performance.

Yes, our bimetallic barrel screws are designed as direct drop-in replacements for most OEM screw and barrel assemblies, making retrofitting to existing equipment straightforward without requiring major modifications to your current injection molding or extrusion systems.

Our bimetallic barrel screws are compatible with all major thermoplastics including PP, HDPE, LDPE, PS, PET, ABS, LCP, PC, and Rigid PVC across various processing applications, ensuring versatility for diverse manufacturing requirements.

Posi-Melt™ technology increases plastic exposure to the barrel wall by up to 60% through its patented MB Barrier Geometry and single-channel design, delivering superior mixing performance, enhanced melt quality, and faster color changeovers compared to conventional screw designs.

Our barrel screws are available in diameters ranging from 14mm to 250mm, with custom sizes available upon request to meet specific processing requirements, accommodating everything from small-scale precision molding to large industrial extrusion applications.

Industries requiring precise tolerances and consistent quality benefit most, including automotive manufacturing for component production, medical device manufacturing requiring sterile conditions, consumer electronics needing superior surface finishes, and heavy-duty industrial processing applications demanding enhanced durability and performance.

Yes, MD Plastics provides direct consultation with founder Mike Durina and uses proprietary design software to ensure optimal barrel and screw configurations tailored to your specific processing requirements, backed by 25+ years of industry expertise and eight patents including revolutionary plasticating technologies.
