Bore Wear & Dimensional Deviation

Boring, Grinding and Nitriding: Bore and grind the worn inner bore to a uniform dimension, then re-perform nitriding treatment to restore surface hardness.

Bushing Insertion: For severe wear, ream the bore and insert an alloy bushing (e.g., SKD11) with a typical single-side thickness of 5–7 mm.

Objective: Restore the original bore size, tolerance and surface finish, and improve wear and corrosion resistance.

 

2.Screw

Flight Wear & Corrosion

Surfacing and Spraying: Deposit wear-resistant alloy (e.g., tungsten carbide) on the worn flight surface by means of surfacing or spraying, then finish-grind to the required dimensions.

Laser Cladding: Adopt laser remanufacturing technology to clad high-performance alloy powder; the performance after repair can exceed that of new products.

Hard Chrome Plating: Apply hard chrome plating to the root diameter and other parts of the screw to enhance wear resistance.

Objective: Restore the screw outer diameter and flight profile, ensure the fit clearance with the barrel, and the surface alloy layer delivers superior wear resistance.

 

3.Electrical and Control System

Component Aging & Inaccurate Control

Control System Upgrade: Replace or upgrade aging components such as PLCs and temperature control modules.

Electrical System Renewal: Replace circuit breakers, contactors, wiring and other parts.

Objective: Improve control accuracy and production stability, eliminate potential safety hazards, and realize modernized operation.

 

4.Key Auxiliary Systems

Degraded Performance & Low Reliability

Hydraulic/Lubrication System: Inspect and replace pumps, valves, seals and pipelines to ensure stable pressure and zero leakage.

Die Head System: Upgrade to a dual-station hydraulic screen changer or screenless die head to realize non-stop screen changing.

Objective: Ensure the long-term stable operation of equipment, reduce unplanned downtime, and improve production efficiency.
