Extruder rebuilding return to “like new” condition
Extruder Rebuilding: Modernize Your Equipment, Optimize Your Operations
At Texas Extrusion Service, Inc., we specialize in breathing new life into existing extruders. We update older equipment into fully functional, modern machines that boost performance and efficiency to help increase your profitability..
Our Comprehensive Rebuilding Process
Our approach involves a thorough process to ensure your extruder is returned in excellent working condition:
- Complete Disassembly and Gearbox Overhaul: We begin by inspecting and then fully disassembling the extruder. The gearbox is then meticulously rebuilt, providing a robust and reliable foundation for the machine.
- New Components for Enhanced Performance: We integrate a new barrel and screw, selected to optimize your specific extrusion process. New heaters and an updated cooling system are also installed to ensure precise temperature control and improved efficiency.
- Updated Controls and Power Systems: The motor and drive are evaluated, and either updated or replaced to meet current performance standards. We also update or replace the control panel, offering improved functionality and user experience.
Quality, Testing, and Cost Effectiveness
Upon completion, each rebuilt extruder undergoes thorough testing to ensure it meets our quality standards and is ready for immediate production upon return to your facility. This service often represents a significant cost advantage, typically amounting to approximately two thirds the investment of a new extruder. This allows for substantial savings, enabling you to allocate resources within your company.
