Screws, barrels, and gearboxes for every major OEM. Single-screw, twin-screw, and conical. Nationwide pickup, 24/7 emergency response, and a 12-month warranty on screw repair.
Extruder repair covers the three wear points that define machine life: the screw, the barrel, and the drive gearbox. Gear Force rebuilds all three in-house for single-screw and twin-screw machines across every major OEM — reverse-engineering obsolete components when OEM replacements are gone.
Most rebuilds ship in two to six weeks, with 24/7 emergency service when a line is down. Every job includes a written condition report, line-item pricing before work begins, and free pickup and delivery nationwide from our Rosharon, TX headquarters.
Screw, barrel, and gearbox — rebuilt under one roof, inspected together, shipped matched. No multi-vendor coordination; no pointing fingers when something doesn't run right.
Worn or damaged screws — single-flight, twin-flight, conical — rebuilt to OEM spec or upgraded with modern coatings. Hardfacing, re-chroming, flight geometry restoration, and dimensional verification on every flight. Backed by a 12-month warranty.
Rebuilding a worn extrusion or injection barrel is dramatically faster and cheaper than replacement — often weeks faster and a fraction of the cost. We re-line, re-bore, and re-nitride barrels up to the largest production sizes.
No extruder gearbox is too big. We rebuild reducers from every major drive OEM, replace bearings and seals, re-cut gears in-house, and pressure-test before the unit ships. Three-year warranty on the gearbox rebuild.
A new extruder on a six- to twelve-month lead time is not a repair plan — it's a capital project. Rebuilding the existing machine is usually 20–40% of replacement cost and measured in weeks, not quarters. We pull the screw, inspect the barrel, tear down the gearbox, and tell you honestly what needs replacement versus what can be rebuilt to spec.
For obsolete OEMs — NRM, Egan, Prodex, legacy Cincinnati Milacron, early Berstorff — OEM parts simply don't exist anymore. We reverse-engineer the screw, barrel, or gear set from the worn part, document the geometry, and manufacture the replacement in-house. Your machine runs again; the line runs again.
On-site or in-shop teardown. We measure flight wear, barrel bore, gearbox backlash, and journal run-out. You get a written condition report with photos.
Line-item pricing — what gets rebuilt, what gets replaced, what it costs, and when it ships. No surprises mid-job.
Screws re-fluted, hardfaced, and re-chromed in our shop. Barrels re-lined or re-bored. Gearboxes torn down to the housing, all bearings and seals replaced, gears re-cut where needed.
Dimensional inspection on every component. Gearboxes get a loaded run-in plus pressure test. Screws get straightness and OD verification to ≤ 0.001".
Free pickup and delivery nationwide. Packaged for the road, documented with the full rebuild report, and warrantied.
When the OEM is gone or the part number has aged out, we reverse-engineer from the component in hand, CAD the geometry, and machine the replacement in our own shop. Single-flight, twin-flight, conical, barrier, mixing — whatever your process needs. We hold straightness to 0.001" per foot on screws up to 30 feet long.
From American Kuhne to Windmoeller & Hoelscher — single-screw, twin-screw, and conical machines across every major OEM.
