Upgrades And Rebuilds
Our comprehensive suite of equipment upgrades, spare parts, and servicing solutions guarantees peak performance for your extrusion machinery.
We facilitate access to the most advanced aftermarket components and expert extruder refurbishment services available in the industry.
By meticulously engaging with our clients, we gain an in depth understanding of their operational processes, production demands, and budget constraints, enabling us to deliver engineered solutions tailored to their specific requirements.
Die and Head Upgrades
Whether employed for crossheads in over sheathing, sheet dies, or blown film dies, our heads and dies are designed to deliver years of reliable performance. Each unit is meticulously engineered and manufactured to align with your specific requirements.
L/D Conversions
If your extruder necessitates an extended L/D ratio, we provide a range of conversion packages designed to upgrade older extruders at a nominal cost. An increased L/D ratio enhances the processors' ability to broaden their technological capabilities.
Extruder Upgrades
Enhancing the capabilities of an existing extruder can significantly improve profitability. We will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your extruder and present tailored solutions aimed at optimising operational efficiency and output. Our upgrade options are designed to modernise outdated machinery in accordance with current industry standards.
Air-To-Water Conversion Packages
Cooling conversion packages are offered for extruders ranging from 1½ inches to 6 inches (40 to 150 mm). Water-cooled extruder conversions deliver superior temperature regulation compared to air cooling alternatives, particularly in scenarios where ambient temperature does not influence the process. In cases where the quality of plant water supplies is inadequate or non-existent, a conversion from water to air is necessary.
Gearcase Retrofit Package
The gearcase constitutes a critical component of the extrusion process, as it delivers the necessary torque for achieving high output levels. We specialise in the refurbishment of gearcases, ensuring that your extruder operates at optimal processing efficiency. Furthermore, we offer the option to upgrade your machinery with modern, high-quality gearboxes that are guaranteed to meet stringent industry standards.
Internal Diameter Increase (IDI) Conversion Packages
By increasing the diameter of your extruder, it is possible to enhance your production capacity. We will conduct a thorough evaluation, design an effective conversion plan, and execute the necessary modifications, including all dismantling and reassembly, to guarantee a seamless installation process devoid of complications.
Process Control Upgrades
We possess the capability to upgrade or replace any type of controller, for your operators panel or drive system, while ensuring minimal downtime. Our services encompass a range of enhancements, from the replacement of heat panels on discrete controllers to the installation of advanced EPIC III® supervisory control systems.
Complete Line Upgrades
We are equipped to upgrade entire extrusion lines, encompassing the extruder and downstream equipment, to accommodate evolving process requirements. Our approach includes the meticulous dismantling, rebuilding, or replacement of each component of the extrusion line. Subsequently, we conduct comprehensive testing of the line prior to dispatch, ensuring a swift and efficient installation of your system.
