About Our Feed Screw Repair Services

At Screw And Barrel Repair, our feed screw repair process is meticulously designed to restore your essential machinery components to optimal conditions, utilizing industry-leading techniques and technologies. The process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your feed screw, where we use precision measurement tools to gauge wear patterns, damage extents, and geometrical accuracy. Commonly identified issues include flight wear, root wear, and drive-end damage. This initial inspection helps us determine the specific repair needs and tailor our approach accordingly.

Once the assessment is complete, our technicians employ advanced repair techniques. For severely worn screws, we often perform a process known as flight rebuilding, which involves adding weld material to the flights and then precision machining them back to OEM specifications. This is complemented by chrome plating or thermal spraying with tungsten carbide to enhance the wear resistance of the screw surfaces. These techniques not only restore the screw to its original condition but can also extend its lifespan beyond that of its initial fabrication.

The final step involves precision grinding and polishing to ensure the feed screw meets the exact dimensional tolerances required for your specific machinery. This stage is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of the screw in material processing, ensuring smooth, consistent product output with minimal downtime. Throughout the repair process, we maintain rigorous quality control checks to guarantee that each refurbished screw delivers enhanced performance and reliability. This attention to detail ensures that your operations can resume swiftly with improved throughput and reduced material waste.

With nearly five decades of expertise in the field, we stand as pioneers in developing the industry's standard processes for screw rebuilding. When you choose Screw and Barrel Repair, you're not just choosing a service provider; you're partnering with a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about delivering superior quality and unmatched reliability.
