EXTRUDER TECHNOLOGY

New and clean screw elements can be effortlessly mounted onto the screw shaft. Pulling off used components, on the other hand, is challenging. Product residues can get between the screw elements as well as between segment and screw shaft. If this material cokes due to the effect of temperature or solidifies on cooling, enormous forces are often required to remove the screw elements safely.

We avoid this effort: for this purpose C.A.PICARD^® has developed the “FD system”, a specialized hydraulic pulling device. We offer it as a service, and the process could not be simpler for you: you send us your screw shaft with the screw elements mounted. We record the existing configuration, pull off the elements professionally, clean all components and document the exact state of wear. On request, we reassemble the screw elements completely in the original configuration or in a new configuration specified by you, using the necessary new parts.

Also possible: you purchase the complete FD system for your own maintenance.
