We Can Repair & Recondition All Types Of Industrial Screws

Is your equipment in need of immediate attention? When we receive your screw for rebuilding, our team performs a thorough inspection of the overall condition of your screw which will help us locate and determine the main cause of component failure.


We consider things like how worn the screw flights and root are, what the wear characteristics are, whether or not surface treatment can be improved, SBR’s E.M.T.P (Electro Metal Treating Process) to eliminate wear and pro-long wear life by 6-8 times longer versus OEM, and more.


Repair and rebuild services include flight repairs, root and radius repairs, and also screw tip repairs. When a screw is rebuilt properly, without narrowing flight widths, the screw can be rebuilt time and time again, resulting in massive savings for your company.

About Screw Wear & Our Repair Services

The performance of a given plasticating unit is defined by the feed screw’s ability to melt and convey the desired rate and quality of polymer to the die or mold. As the screw flights, channel geometry, and surface treatment wear, performance and quality degrades while energy consumption soars. The overall screw design and materials processed has a major impact on the wear-life of the plasticating unit, so it is vital to monitor screw wear and performance, regardless of application.


Minor wear will have little effect on the overall performance – as machine parameters can be adjusted to maintain productivity. As the radial clearance gap between the screw and barrel increases, energy costs and cycle times rise while rate and quality plummet. To avoid costly downtime it is important for every company to have a robust maintenance program in place. When screw wear isn’t monitored, the overall wear on the screw can become so severe it is no longer economical to rebuild – leaving you with crippling downtime that can ultimately cost more than the components you attempted to salvage.
