Feed Screws for Extrusion and Injection Molding
At American Screw & Barrel, we specialize in designing, manufacturing, and rebuilding feed screws for the plastic, rubber, food, and metal molding industries. We can manufacture and design new screws (12mm to 12″ diameter), and rebuild screws (16mm to 18″ diameter) with a maximum length of 315″ for single-piece construction.
We offer a full range of base materials for your specific processing applications depending on wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and material strength.
