Unexpected wear, unplanned downtime, and high maintenance expenses remain key challenges in extrusion processes. Targeted material selection and engineering therefore play a crucial role in the performance, reliability, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of extruders.
This is stated by Extruder Experts in a recent technical briefing, highlighting the importance of application-specific selection of wear parts.
According to Extruder Experts, achieving optimal wear part lifetime requires an integrated analysis of process parameters and operating conditions. This includes systematic evaluation of mechanical loads, process temperatures, wear patterns, and energy consumption.
Based on this data, engineers select the most suitable material concept from a wide range of alloys and coatings.
In addition, Extruder Experts develops customer-specific material solutions tailored to unique process conditions and product characteristics, ensuring maximum process stability and consistent output.
With this approach, material optimization is positioned as a strategic lever for performance improvement and cost control in industrial extrusion processes.
SPS | Solids Process Solutions, as a partner of Extruder Experts, supports the practical application and implementation of these material solutions in extrusion processes.
