Quite often down time is not caused only because of the screw O.D. or barrel being worn out. There are many other situations that can cause production to halt. Broken tips, worn I.D. threads, tip registers worn, broken drives, chipped flights, worn out quills, platen bores worn out, platen surface out of flatness, bent screws, end cap and barrels seating surfaces not square, worn breaker plates, worn out end caps and many other items.

SFM even has a 350-ton horizontal and 200-ton vertical press that can handle any screw and barrel or gear assemblies that needs to be pressed apart.
