Extruder Barrel

The extruder barrels are part of the extruder machines used in the production of profiles and other shapes. They are manufactured using extremely hard-wearing as well as corrosion-resistant materials which are often bimetallic.

The barrel is typically wrapped with heater bands, or with cast-aluminum heaters to provide an improved heat distribution. The lining of the barrel is heat treated and typically lined with a material for increasing the wear as well as resistance to corrosion. Extruder barrels are made with wall thickness of at least 25 mm. This ensures that the barrel is able to withstand pressures generated in the extrusion process. Small clearances are essential between screw flights and the barrel wall for preventing back flow of molten resin and a possible surge in the out put of the extruder.
