Barrel Segment

Modular barrel segments and liners for efficient maintenance of compounding lines.

Barrel Segment — Rootier EXTRUSION component

Extrusion Barrel Segment

Extrusion barrel segments are modular open, closed, venting and side-feed barrels for efficient maintenance of compounding lines. With an integrated cooling channel and a choice of C-type or monobloc sleeves, each piece is easily replaceable and the monobloc sleeve offers high strength and wear resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A barrel segment is an individual section of a modular extruder barrel. Multiple segments can be assembled to create different processing zones along the extruder.

  • Modular segments allow the processing configuration to be changed or individual worn sections to be replaced without necessarily replacing the entire barrel.

  • The segment must match the extruder's screw diameter, center distance, connection dimensions, processing zone, and material requirements.

  • Common types include open barrels, closed barrels, vented barrels and side feed barrels.
