Plastics & Food Machinery Thread Whirling Solutions
Solving Extrusion & Conveying Bottlenecks
Forming Deep & Variable Pitches
Extruder screws often feature deep roots and complex variable pitches. Our macro-programmed whirling technology forms these massive, deep-flight profiles in a single pass, drastically reducing the endless cycles of conventional turning.
Achieving Sanitary Finishes
Food processing requires absolute hygiene. Our single-pass whirling creates a burr-free, Ra0.4 mirror finish straight off the machine. This eliminates material stagnation, prevents bacterial buildup, and strictly meets FDA sanitary standards.
Taming Wear-Resistant Metals
Plastics with glass fibers rapidly wear down screws. We excel at hard-whirling highly abrasive nitrided steels and bimetallic blanks, ensuring sharp flight edges and extended tool life without compromising the core's structural integrity.
Proven Expertise in Sanitary & Wear-Resistant Alloys
- Food-Grade Stainless Steels (SUS316L / 304): Flawless, corrosion-resistant thread machining for meat grinders and sanitary augers, completely eliminating built-up edge (BUE) to guarantee absolute food safety.
- Nitralloy & Bimetallic Steels (38CrMoAl): Optimized hard-whirling for injection molding screws, delivering exceptional wear resistance for processing glass-fiber-reinforced plastics.
- High-Strength Tool Steels: Stable, high-feed machining for heavy-duty compounding twin-extruder shafts, maximizing both durability and production ROI.
Rigorous Inspection for Perfect Material Flow
- Deep Profile Verification: Using specialized depth micrometers and optical comparators to verify the exact geometry of deep roots, variable pitches, and complex mixing sections.
- Surface Roughness Testing: Employing high-precision profilometers to strictly monitor Ra values, ensuring the ultra-smooth surfaces required for sanitary and anti-stagnation applications.
- Full Material Certification: Providing complete mill test reports to guarantee compliance with your food-grade (FDA) or high-wear industrial specifications.
