We have an experienced and professional staff prepared to assist you with your special needs. Optical alignment of your barrel, whether it be because a barrel has been replaced or for preventive maintenance, is one the most common requests from our customers. Remember, there is typically only .012″ clearance between a 6″ barrel and screw, that’s only .006″ per side, and it does not take much misalignment to cause wear problems. Barrel and screw measurements are usually taken at this time to keep you informed of the condition of your machine. Once the technician has returned, charts of the wear will be sent to you for your records.

Initial alignments of new equipment or equipment being moved are another of the services we offer, ranging from simple wire and cable installations to the very complex cast film and blown film line alignments. We know the importance of a quality installation from the beginning, insuring a smooth start-up and a quality product for your customers.

Stuck feed screws are, unfortunately, a part of the extrusion business. Pieces of steel, wrong blends or power outages create difficult situations and unwanted downtime all too often. Our technicians have removed some of the most difficult all over the country, removing some of the strangest objects you could imagine. Typically in one to two days we can have the screw out, the barrel clean and most important of all, your extruder producing again.
