From old to new
A second life for your extruder barrel
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”7808″ img_size=”large” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]Extruder barrels generally have a long service life, but internal wear eventually necessitates replacement. For full-body barrels, this means the entire housing must be replaced, even if the outer casing and cooling are still in excellent condition.
SPS | Solids Process Solutions, in partnership with Extruder Experts, offers an innovative revision process for worn extruder barrels in co-rotating twin-screw extruders.
40% Cost Savings
This revision method delivers up to 40% cost savings compared to purchasing a completely new barrel and supports a more sustainable operation by giving high-quality machine components a second life instead of discarding them.
The revision process includes the following steps:
- Inspection of the used extruder barrel
The process begins with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of wear and assess the cooling channels. - Sandblasting and removal of the liner
The worn liner is removed with a hydraulic press, and the barrel is sandblasted to clear old coatings and contaminants, creating a clean base for the new liner. - Production of the new liner
A new liner, custom-made from wear-resistant special steel, is then manufactured to exact specifications. - Insertion of the new liner
In the heated barrel, the cooled new liner is carefully and precisely inserted to ensure optimal fit and functionality. - Grinding the liner
Finally, the barrel is ground to achieve a smooth surface, giving the entire unit a renewed, “like-new” appearance.
