Parts for Extrusion Machines and Testing for Heavy Metals

There are premier manufacturing companies that produce parts for extrusion machines of different makes. Some of these premier companies also have the resources for specialised activities such as melt pump refurbishment, EDM machining and current drilling, heavy metal testing, gearbox repair and laser measuring and extrusion barrel alignment, as well. These companies, such as Precision Products Inc (PPI), are invariably ISO certified and possess excellent quality CNC machines besides suitable backup in terms of metrology and metallurgical analysis.

PPI has the capabilities of large scale manufacture of extrusion parts. These include aspirators and ceramic guides, idler rolls and interlacing jets besides texturing jets and thread up tools. Its capacity in respect of extrusion machines extends to parts for makes that include Barmag, Cognisint Winders, Fare, Filteco and Mackie. PPI also manufactures parts for Neumag, Plantex, Sahm and STP Impianti. This company has been involved directly with the extrusion industry since 1993. PPI refurbishes precision gear driven melt pumps in addition to extrusion parts that include breaker plates and spinerettes.

Precision Products Inc also offers various metallurgical test facilities to customers. These include testing in respect of metals and plastics to determine whether these contain heavy metals such as arsenic or lead among others. Heavy metal testing of this kind is very economical and can be carried out at either the facility of PPI or that of the customer. This of course depends on the size of the part being tested. XRF technology is used for the test procedure and the device is portable. It can test more than 350 standard alloys. The detailed elemental analysis of alloys not in the database is also given. The files are admissible in court and the operators are qualified and certified.
