Twin screw extruder performance heavily relies on the quality and design of its screw elements. Standard components may not meet unique production demands, making custom and OEM screw elements essential for optimized extrusion. Tailored solutions enhance material processing, reduce downtime, and ensure consistent product quality.

Custom and OEM screw elements allow manufacturers to:

• Adjust screw geometry for specific materials and processes
• Select high-performance materials for wear and corrosion resistance
• Apply surface treatments to extend service life
• Maintain compatibility with existing extruder systems

These solutions ensure peak efficiency while minimizing operational disruptions.

1. Extended Service Life – Premium materials reduce wear and maintenance frequency.
2. Optimized Production – Tailored geometry improves conveying, mixing, and devolatilization efficiency.
3. Reduced Downtime – High-precision components ensure smooth assembly and operation.
4. Compatibility – OEM replacements fit seamlessly in existing extruder models.
5. Industry-Specific Solutions – Customization addresses plastics, rubber, masterbatch, and high-abrasion applications.
