Wayne custom builds new screws and rebuilds worn screws for all makes and models of machines, foreign or domestic. In fact, that is the first product that the company offered to the plastics industry! The primary reasons you might consider buying replacement screws from Wayne instead of the original equipment manufacturer include higher quality, lower price and custom design engineering assistance that OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) usually do not offer. Also, the OEM may be out of business. The Wayne advantage is that Wayne is also a manufacturer of high quality extrusion machinery , so we have the benefit of hundreds of installed extruders running virtually every thermoplastic available. We also have hundreds of screw and barrel drawings from many manufacturers. Other Screw and barrel manufacturers that are only machine shops cannot hope to match our decades and generations of extrusion machine building experience! Wayne can duplicate your existing screws and barrels exactly to your existing specifications, or we can offer a wide variety of different materials, designs and processing information to help solve your problems or achieve your particular objectives. We can help you convert your existing equipment to run highly corrosive polymers like flouropolymers, highly abrasive glass filled resins, solve mixing problems when you need to run colors or eliminate burning when you need to run heat sensitive resins like PVC. To meet the industry's demand for quality, CAD is utilized to achieve cost effective and optimum performance designs. Finally, we are a family owned and operated company that has been under the same management since 1958 with a long proud history of service to our customers. With our decades of experience we can give you sound advice about the best way to deal with your problems. We are at your service, just give us a call.
Any screw or barrel can be manufactured by Wayne from the smallest 1/4" diameter screws used in research to the 8" diameter production size screws. Any L/D can also be accommodated.
