Single Barrel

Single-screw barrels with wear-resistant bores and cooling or heating zones to specification.

Single Barrel — Rootier EXTRUSION component

Extrusion Single Barrel

Extrusion single barrels feature wear-resistant bores with cooling or heating zones to specification. Available in nitrided and bimetallic grades, an optimized feeding structure supports high output while tungsten-added and selected alloys suit abrasive and halogen-free flame-retardant processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The single barrel houses the extrusion screw and forms the controlled processing channel through which polymer is conveyed, melted, mixed, and pressurized.

  • Abrasive fillers such as glass fiber, mineral additives, and other wear-producing materials can accelerate barrel wear. High temperature and continuous operation can also contribute.

  • Excessive clearance can reduce conveying efficiency, increase leakage between the screw and barrel, reduce output, and make process control more difficult.

  • Yes. ROOTIER can provide customized single barrels with material and surface-treatment options selected according to the polymer and wear conditions.
