With 20 years’ manufacturing expertise and technical know-how in the industry, we have the capability to work with your technical team to ensure process optimization. 

When it comes to screw design, screw and barrel wear, maintenance and other processing tips, you’re not expected to know it all. But we are. So if you have questions on whether to repair or replace your screw or barrel, what type of screw design is right for your application, we can help.We are a manufacturing company, but primarily we are a competent consultant. We use our expertise in engineering and metallurgy to find optimal specifications for plasticizing units, select suitable material combinations, and support you in your development of new barrels to improve profitability and functionality.

Wear analysis

 If your plasticizing unit has been used in production for some time, wear may reduce efficiency or degrade the quality of your products. We offer on-site wear analysis to help you maximize the use of your production line. After the analysis we will make suggestions for possible optimization. Our team can provide on site maintenance procedure instruction resulting in increased production and longer screw and barrel life. Let a Plastech Field Service technician show you how you can anticipate trouble, diagnose problems and make the necessary adjustments before performance and profitability are affected.

Improving efficiency

        Benefit from our expertise and experience to boost your efficiency when processing technical plastics or plastics with high filler content. Wear-resistant screws will not just extend the service life, also improve the quality of your products. We manufacture the screw geometries you need for your processes: 3-zone general purpose screws, barrier screws, mixing screws, multi-start screws( multiple thread screws ), vented screws, or twin screws.
We provide expertise in injection molding screws, extrusion screws, screw designs, processing support and push the limits to help injection, extrusion, and blow molding plastic processors reach or exceed their production goals.

Do you have a screw that isn’t performing as expected? Have you made adjustments to your original design? Bring us your most challenging applications - we can help you select the optimal screw and barrel configuration and other key machinery specifications.
