CASE 165
Screw configuration with parts
The Challenge
- Avoiding premature wear of extruder parts (screw elements & barrels)
- Deliver 4 times faster than the 4-month delivery time for new parts from the manufacturer
- No wear materials available from the manufacturer
Solution
- 3D scanning and creation of new engineering plans
- Producing new parts and treating them with a wear-resistant Durallco® coating
Production Profits
- Faster delivery of new parts, made in-house, dramatically reduces machine downtime and production losses.
- Within a predictive maintenance plan, as parts wear, they can be recoated each time, keeping the basic equipment intact. This eliminates the need for new parts and positively adjusts the R.O.I. of the plant.
- Technical plans are again available, allowing future interventions to be carried out more efficiently with secured data.
- Optimization of process operation, by adjusting screw configuration improves production capacity significantly.
All these measures ensure higher production gains.
