Annual Extruder Barrel Mic'ing
The aim is to accurately measure internal barrel wear to ensure the extruder continues to operate efficiently, safely, and within required tolerances. By monitoring changes in barrel diameter and identifying early signs of erosion, scoring, or uneven wear, this inspection helps prevent product quality issues, energy inefficiency, and potential equipment failure.
