NEW EXTRUSION BARRELS

When the time comes to purchase a new plasticating barrel for your extruder, consider these aspects when selecting a barrel brand:

  1. Straightness of the barrel (a straighter barrel reduces screw wear!)
  2. Wear resistance to abrasive resins
  3. Resistance to corrosive resins
  4. Resistance to resins that are both abrasive and corrosive

SFM is proud to offer WEXCO® high-performance bimetallic barrels, "world-class" barrels made right here in the U.S.A.  While most other barrel makers abide by SPI standards for straightness, WEXCO® applies much tighter straightness tolerances to their barrel production.

WEXCO® extruder barrels are available with the following inlays (bore protection):

1. WEXCO® 555 corrosion resistant
2. WEXCO® 666 abrasion resistant
3. WEXCO® 777 corrosion & abrasion resistant
4. WEXCO®Durocast corrosion & abrasion resistant, with a 5 year warranty
5. WEXCO® BO22 highly corrosion resistant

Call SFM to discuss your replacement barrel needs.  We will be glad to help you select the correct WEXCO® extruder barrel for your specific processing requirements, whether you process resins that are corrosive, abrasive, or a combination of both.
