High-Wear Screw Elements for Glass-Fiber Compounding
2017-12-12
Customer Challenge
The customer used a twin screw extruder for glass-fiber reinforced polymer compounding. The abrasive material caused rapid wear on conventional screw elements, especially in high-wear processing zones.
CONLIN Solution
CONLIN reviewed the application and identified the high-wear sections of the screw configuration. We recommended a suitable wear-resistant material and manufactured the required screw elements with controlled dimensions and spline profiles.
Supply Scope
- High-wear screw elements
- Wear-resistant material options
- Precision CNC machining
- Spline profile control
- Dimensional inspection
Result
The customer received screw elements designed for demanding abrasive compounding conditions, providing a more suitable replacement solution for high-wear extrusion zones.
