Industrial Extruder Screws and Barrels | Manufacturing Solutions

An extruder barrel is the cylindrical housing that works in conjunction with the screw to process plastic materials. Our plasticating barrels feature bimetallic construction for durability, precision honed tolerances for optimal performance, and can be manufactured up to 260 inches in length. We also provide comprehensive repair, relining, and custom boring services to extend barrel service life.

Posi-Melt™ technology features patented flight geometry that increases plastic exposure to the barrel wall by up to 60% compared to conventional designs. This proprietary design delivers superior homogenization, faster material changeovers, and reduced manufacturing costs through enhanced dispersive mixing performance.

The selection depends on your specific application requirements. Mixing Screws are ideal for applications requiring superior material blending, Barrier Screws work best when fast purging is critical, Extrusion Screws suit continuous processing needs, and Multipurpose Screws offer versatile performance across injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Owner Mike Durina personally designs solutions with direct technical consultation to match your exact processing needs.

Our extruder components serve demanding applications across Automotive Manufacturing for injection molded components requiring consistent quality, Medical Device Manufacturing for sterile plastic production, Consumer Electronics for precise housing components, and Industrial Processing for continuous heavy-duty production. Any industry requiring superior mixing, faster changeovers, or improved product quality can benefit.

Yes, custom flight geometry design is available to address specific processing challenges. With 25+ years of engineering excellence and 8 patents in plasticating technology, our team provides custom design solutions with direct technical consultation. Contact our technical team for specific project timelines and quotes based on your unique requirements.

Bimetallic construction in our plasticating barrels provides superior wear resistance and extended service life compared to standard barrels. Combined with precision honed tolerances, this construction ensures consistent processing performance and reduced downtime. We also offer relining services to restore worn barrels to like-new specifications.

Cost reductions come from multiple performance improvements: the patented Posi-Melt™ technology delivers 60% increased plastic exposure for faster, more uniform melting which reduces cycle times; improved mixing quality decreases material waste and scrap rates; faster purging performance minimizes material loss during changeovers; and extended barrel service life through bimetallic construction and relining services reduces replacement frequency.
