Seized or Stuck Feed Screws PDF E-mail
Seized, stuck, or broken feed screws create a difficult situation and unwanted downtime. Uncontrollable situations such as a power outage can shut down your whole operation and re-heating the barrel may or may not release the screw. Another concern is a foreign object getting through the feed chamber or using the wrong blends, all which can cause the feed screw to seize inside the barrel. In addition, we have found some screws that twist and break inside the barrel.

Barrel Wear Inspection PDF E-mail
Maverick Systems Corporation can perform an I.D. measurement (barrel wear inspection) on your barrels and give you a detailed report of the contour inside the barrel. There are several reasons why the barrel may be showing excess signs of wear. These reasons may include alignment issues, causing metal to metal friction, improper screw design for your application, mixture is too abrasive, and so on. With the knowledge of the wear pattern and contour inside the barrel, you will have a better understanding of what's creating the problems and a guide for correcting them.
