Extruder Screw and Barrel Manufacturing Costs

Bimetallic barrels combine hard wear-resistant liners with high-strength steel backing, significantly extending service life in abrasive applications and reducing replacement frequency and downtime costs.

Most processors see ROI within 6-12 months through reduced scrap rates, faster changeovers, improved throughput, and extended equipment life compared to conventional screw designs.

Yes, our Posi-Melt™ screws and Inject-EX™ systems are designed as drop-in replacements for most OEM injection molding and extrusion machines, avoiding costly equipment replacement.

Custom-engineered screws optimize performance for your specific materials and applications, reducing energy consumption, cycle times, and material waste—often offsetting higher initial costs through operational savings.

Our precision-engineered components require minimal maintenance. Proper operation and periodic inspection extend service life. We offer comprehensive repair and relining services to further reduce lifecycle costs.

Larger diameter screws (up to 250mm) require more material and machining time, increasing costs. However, they also deliver higher throughput, making cost-per-pound of processed material competitive for high-volume applications.
