Good job! 30 years extruder operator, always hated pulling the screw.

I see you using steel brushes to clean. We were told to use brass to prevent from damaging the screw. Due to the cost of the brass brushes is this a true statement. We use asaclean ex grade to clean screw instead of PVC. With this you don't need a hydraulic screw press because the asaclean make it easy to push out with a steel rod and peels off screw by hand. Another reason we don't use PVC is because we run acetal and those two materials don't mix because it will cause it to gas up

You can use pvc purging compound , high heat resistance material for purging .
So need to open screw and time saving also .

Does that head unit need the oil replaced? if so which type of fluid is used? thank you!

[@miltonsantiago9078]

hi, please can you tell me the name or model of the hydraulic tool you used to push the screw.

[@WireAssociationIntl]

Hi Milton,
The complete unit is available from Davis Standard, but basically, it’s an Enerpac hydraulic jack w/ an adapter Davis makes to fit the shank of the extruder. Unfortunately, Nexans does not have a model number to offer. If you wish to get more information, please call John Doherty @ Davis Standard [phone].
