Extrusion Barrel Reconditioning

Honingcraft Group of Companies: Breathe New Life into Your Extrusion Barrels

Industries that Rely on Extrusion Barrels:

• Plastics: Pipes, sheets, films, profiles, bottles, packaging, and more.
• Rubber: Hoses, seals, tyres, cables, and other industrial components.
• Food: Pasta, sausages, confectionery, and pet food products.
• Medical: Catheters, tubing, and other medical devices.
• Construction: Profiles for windows, doors, and cladding.
• Automotive: Hoses, gaskets, and various trim components.
• Textiles: Yarns, fibres, and non-woven fabrics.

Honingcraft’s Life Extension Processes:

1. Honing: This precise finishing process removes wear marks and imperfections, restoring the extrusion barrel’s original geometry and improving surface finish. This leads to smoother material flow, reduced pressure drops, and improved product quality.
2. Internal Grinding: For deeper wear or damage, internal grinding allows for controlled material removal to achieve the desired dimensions and surface finish. This restores dimensional accuracy and ensures optimal performance.
3. Metal Spraying: In cases of significant wear or damage, metal spraying rebuilds the worn areas with a new layer of material. This can restore the extrusion barrel’s original profile and strengthen its structure, extending its lifespan considerably.
4. Chrome Plating: For applications requiring superior wear resistance and corrosion protection, chrome plating provides a hard, durable surface that minimises friction and wear. This is ideal for demanding environments and abrasive materials.
5. Final Honing: After chrome plating or metal spraying processes are completed, the extrusion barrels are honed in a final process to ensure the geometry of the extrusion barrel is precisely finished and geometrically precise.

Benefits of Reconditioning with Honingcraft:

• Cost-effective: Reconditioning is significantly cheaper than purchasing a new extrusion barrel, offering significant cost savings.
• Reduced downtime: By extending the life of your existing extrusion barrel, you minimise downtime associated with replacements and installations.
• Improved product quality: Reconditioned extrusion barrels restore optimal performance, leading to smoother material flow, consistent dimensions, and better product quality.
• Environmentally friendly: Reconditioning is a more sustainable option than replacing extrusion barrels, reducing waste and energy consumption.
• Expert service: Honingcraft’s experienced team utilises state-of-the-art technology and adheres to strict quality standards, ensuring optimal results.
