Considerations for choosing plasticating cylinders

Consider the importance of using the correct barrel and screw for your plastic processing application!

 
Then consider:

  • The "quality" aspects of plasticating barrels: What to look for....

  • When do you select nitrided barrels, when bimetallic barrels, when "tool steel" barrels?

  • The "right" protection for the barrel bore: What bore inlay is appropriate for my application if I process abrasive and/or corrosive resins?

  • Repair, re-sleeve, or replace worn barrels? What makes sense?
