When your injection molding equipment underperforms, precision repair and refurbishment can restore optimal plasticating performance without the cost of complete replacement. Md Plastics Inc specializes in comprehensive screw and barrel repair services backed by advanced engineering expertise, proprietary diagnostics, and over two decades of industry innovation to maximize your equipment life and production efficiency.
Comprehensive repair and refurbishment solutions engineered to restore peak plasticating performance and extend equipment life.
Complete screw restoration including flight repair, wear compensation, and precision re-machining to original specifications. We utilize advanced surface treatments and hardening processes to restore and enhance screw performance and longevity.
Expert barrel restoration through precision boring, liner replacement, and advanced surface treatments. Our barrel repair services eliminate wear patterns, restore dimensional integrity, and apply protective coatings to resist future abrasive and corrosive damage.
Specialized repair and replacement services for check valves and non-return mechanisms. We restore proper sealing, eliminate backflow issues, and improve shot-to-shot consistency with precision-machined components including our MDP™ Performance Non-Return Valves.
Advanced protective coatings including nitrided tool steel, PTA welding, Colmonoy or Stellite overlays, Armoloy XADC coatings, and HVOF Tungsten carbide applications. These treatments dramatically extend component life when processing abrasive, corrosive, or adhesive materials.
Comprehensive component evaluation using advanced metrology and process analysis. Our engineers identify root causes of wear, assess material compatibility issues, and recommend targeted repairs or upgrades to resolve process inefficiencies and improve melt quality.
Injection unit modifications to optimize equipment for different applications or materials. Convert existing machines to handle new material requirements or production volumes without purchasing entirely new equipment, maximizing your capital equipment investment.
At Md Plastics Inc, screw and barrel repair isn't just about fixing wear—it's about engineering better performance. Our team combines proprietary diagnostic tools like the Melt-Profiler™ system with decades of plasticating expertise to analyze your components, identify process inefficiencies, and implement precision repairs that restore optimal melt quality. Whether addressing abrasive wear, corrosive damage, or material adhesion issues, we apply advanced surface treatments and precision machining to extend equipment life and improve production consistency, helping you avoid costly downtime and maximize ROI on existing equipment.

Founder
Mike Durina founded Md Plastics Inc in 1999 after a distinguished 16-year career at Spirex, where as VP of Sales & Service he grew the company from $1.8 million to $22 million in revenue. With an AAS in Plastic Engineering from Ferris State University and a BS in Industrial Engineering from Kent State University, Mike has dedicated over four decades to advancing plasticating technologies. His deep technical knowledge and innovative mindset have resulted in eight granted patents, including revolutionary technologies like the Melt-Profiler™, Inject-EX™, Mini-Shut™, and MDP™ Performance Valve. Mike's philosophy centers on engineering better solutions rather than incremental improvements, combining rigorous analytical methods with practical manufacturing experience to help injection molders achieve greater profitability through superior plasticating performance.
How do I know if my screw and barrel need repair or replacement?
Key indicators include increased shot-to-shot variation, visible wear on screw flights or barrel interior, longer cycle times, degraded melt quality, material drooling or stringing, and difficulty maintaining process temperatures. Our diagnostic engineering analysis can definitively assess component condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
