Screw and Barrel Wear Measurement and Inspection
Extrusion & Injection Screw and Barrel Field Service
We recommend every plastic processor to routinely monitor and measure their screws and barrels for wear. As your equipment wears, you will gradually lose output and part quality while energy consumption soars. By avoiding scheduled shutdowns and inspections, companies lose major profits. The SpiraMelt team is here to help you stay ahead of the wear! When our technicians thoroughly inspect your screws and barrels, we provide you with a detailed report and recommendations for when and if you should rebuild or replace your equipment. This saves you substantial costs associated with catastrophic failures, long downtime, lost efficiency, and potential delivery time delays for replacement parts.Â

What to Expect
When your company suspects that your extrusion or injection molding screw and/or barrel is worn, we can send a SpiraMelt field service technician to your plant to perform a thorough, detailed inspection of your equipment on-site. Our team of experts will evaluate the overall condition of your screw and barrel.
We will evaluate your screw’s root wear and damage, OD wear and damage, the structural integrity of the base material, wear patterns, etc. Our team will also bore gauge your barrel ID throughout to determine the severity of the wear and whether your screw and/or barrel is a suitable candidate for screw and barrel rebuilding or relining/refurbishment.
If your screw and/or barrel can be reliably remanufactured, the SpiraMelt engineering department will assess the detailed inspection report and generate recommendations and pricing/lead times to rebuild your screw and/or barrel to like-new condition or to replace the equipment with new.Â
