About Our Industrial Barrel Repair Services

At Screw And Barrel Repair, our industrial barrel repair process is rooted in a deep understanding of the mechanics and challenges associated with high-performance extrusion and injection molding machinery. The process begins with a thorough assessment of the barrel’s condition, utilizing precision instruments like bore gauges and ultrasonic thickness meters to evaluate internal wear and structural integrity. This diagnostic stage is crucial for determining the extent of damage and the specific repair techniques required.

Once the evaluation is complete, our skilled technicians employ advanced restoration techniques. For barrels with surface wear or minor damages, we utilize bore welding and resurfacing technologies. Bore welding is an intricate process where specialized welding rods, compatible with the barrel material, are used to fill worn areas. The barrel is then re-machined to its original dimensions, ensuring it meets precise industry standards for clearance and alignment. This step not only restores the barrel but often enhances its wear resistance and longevity.

In cases where the barrel exhibits severe degradation or dimensional instability, a process known as relining may be necessary. Here, a new, custom-fitted liner made from materials like bimetallic alloys is inserted into the barrel. This not only returns the barrel to its optimal functionality but also significantly extends its life by providing an additional layer of wear and corrosion resistance. The integration of these liners is performed with exacting precision to ensure seamless operation within the machinery.

The final stage involves detailed finishing and quality assurance testing. Every repaired barrel is subjected to rigorous inspections and tests to verify its performance characteristics under operational conditions similar to those it will encounter in active use. This includes pressure tests, alignment checks, and surface inspection to ensure the repairs meet our high standards and your specific operational needs. Our commitment to quality and efficiency ensures that your repaired barrel returns to you ready to perform at its best, with minimal downtime and improved production quality.
