Extruder Barrels & Screws

Reliable measurement and alignment

• Avoid wear damage

• Measure bore alignment

Why do extruders require precise measurement and alignment?

Extruders are used as conveying equipment in plastic-processing in- of motor and gearbox are important, but also the rotational axes of
dustry segments. In order to keep operating and maintenance costs at extruder bore and gearbox must be aligned to avoid wear damage.
a low level, the system components must be correctly aligned.
If a screw extruder is driven using a gearbox, not only shaft alignment

If extruder bore and rotational gearbox axis are not aligned, mate-

Vertical straightness of the screw cylinder is also an important
criterion for smooth production. External stress can affect the shape
of the extruder bore leading to massive wear and material flaking
on the screw. Metal traces of material flaking are found on the final
product.

After alignment
After the measurement, the extruder support was corrected
and extruder bore straightness measured one more time. The
improvements can be seen clearly.
