Xtrutech | A Leading Supplier of OEM Spare Parts
Xtrutech are a leading independent supplier of OEM spare parts for Twin Screw Extruders. As a result, we strive to work with suppliers who follow our best practices by using quality materials and innovative processes.
When it comes to the manufacture of screws, barrels and shafts quality is our focus, not only as a finished product but throughout the manufacturing process.
For example, our suppliers use ultrasonic testing as a means of evaluating flaws in the material. If the material doesn’t meet the required tolerance then it is recycled wherever possible. This is a longer and more costly process when compared to the common practices of our competitors, but we see the benefits in the final product.
Our OEM parts use powder metallurgy steel, which involves a more refined process for the creation of fatigue resistant materials. The process begins with atomisation, then the materials are subject to Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) and most of the oxygen and sulphites are removed. The aim of this process is to enhance longevity and reduce defects. HIP boosts corrosion resistance and fatigue strength to produce a robust & effective material.
“We address the challenges faced by our customers by offering solutions that can improve every aspect of manufacture…”
