How we can help you!

 
 


If you need knowledgeable assistance with selecting the proper plasticating cylinder for your specific application, call WEXCO!

             Why?

Selecting a bimetallic plasticating cylinder for your extruder or injection press is not always as easy as selecting from a catalog. Different plastic resins require different bore alloys. Difficult-to-feed resins and varying screw types may require special cylinder design considerations. 

WEXCO provides complete service and customer support- before, during, and after cylinders are installed. Our many years of experience can help you to anticipate and possibly prevent problems before they occur. 

We are not just any supplier!  

We want to be your business partner!

The injection molding or extruding process is a sensitive, balanced system, and each system component, such as the plasticating cylinder, contributes a critical function. 

You can rely on us for service, information, and technical support necessary to ensure that our cylinders deliver the performance you expect. And in case you have problems with the plasticating screw or other system components, we will gladly refer you to qualified screw experts in the industry.  

We will do our utmost to help solve your plasticating problems or provide competent advice. We are your partner, whether you want to buy one barrel or one hundred, or just want knowledgeable advice. 

How we can help you:

1.     Cylinder selection:  We can recommend the most effective cylinder lining alloys for the types of resins you are processing, and we will gladly cross-reference competitors’ inlay designations to our own superior inlay products. You probably already know our inlay designations: WEXCO 555, WEXCO 666, WEXCO 777, WEXCO DurocastTM, WEXCO Tool Steel, and WEXCO BO-22.

3.     Service follow-up:  We provide expert support and assistance  - before, during and after installation. When you have questions or problems related to the cylinder in your plasticating system, feel free to call us; our experienced staff is always willing to assist you.
