Extruder service at the customer

Keep the quality and productivity of your extrusion line at a consistently high level

The condition of your extruder has a major impact on the quality and productivity of your film extrusion. Therefore, in addition to the regular maintenance of your die head, it is important to maintain the plasticizing units on a regular basis.

During the extrusion process, impurities can occur which deposit on the feed screws and affect the flow behavior of the melt negatively. This results in pressure fluctuations that strain the feed screws and extruder cylinders mechanically and thermally. Worn components and a loss of performance of the entire system can be the result. Furthermore impurities in your plastification units will also impurify your die head faster.

Professional maintenance of the individual components of the plastification units ensure a longer lifetime of your extrusion machine. That´s why we highly recommend to clean and inspect the components of the extruder like feed screws, extruder cylinders, screen pack changers and flanges regularly in order to maintain a consistently high quality of your produced film. In addition to the extruder, our service also includes maintenance of the vacuum conveying system and gravimetric metering system.

The measurement of the feed screws and extruder cylinders is also part of our extruder service. Special tools are used to determine the current condition of the components and discussed with you to help you make the right decisions.
