Precision metal machining process for custom screw manufacturing

Custom Screw Design Services

Engineered precisely for your material, your machine, and your production goals.

Tailored Engineering

What Custom Screw Design Means

Off-the-shelf screws compromise on performance. Every polymer, filler ratio, and output target demands a unique screw geometry. Our custom design service starts from your specific process parameters and delivers a screw solution optimized for your exact application.

Our in-house engineering team analyzes your material rheology, barrel specifications, desired throughput, and quality requirements. We then design flight depth progressions, compression ratios, mixing elements, and surface treatments that maximize your production efficiency while extending component service life.

Our Process

From Concept to Delivery in 5 Steps

A structured workflow ensures every custom screw meets your exact specifications with no surprises.

01

Requirement Analysis

We evaluate your material type, output targets, temperature range, and machine specifications to define the optimal screw geometry.

02

Design & Engineering

Our engineers create detailed 3D models with optimized flight depth, compression ratio, and mixing sections tailored to your process.

03

Manufacturing

Advanced CNC and 5-axis machining centers produce your screw with precision machining and dimensional inspection for consistent performance.

04

Testing & QC

Every custom screw undergoes hardness testing, dimensional inspection, and surface finish verification before shipping.

05

Delivery & Support

Fast worldwide shipping with ongoing technical support. We help with installation guidance and process optimization.

Materials

Premium Materials for Every Application

We select the optimal material based on your processing conditions, wear factors, and budget requirements.

38CrMoAlA Nitrided Steel

High nitrogen absorption capacity with excellent wear resistance. Ideal for general-purpose extrusion applications with surface hardness up to HV 950-1050.

  • Surface hardness HV 950-1050
  • Nitriding depth 0.5-0.7mm
  • Good corrosion resistance

Bimetallic Alloy Lining

Centrifugally cast alloy layer provides improved wear and corrosion resistance. Well-suited for processing abrasive or corrosive materials like glass-fiber reinforced compounds.

  • Hardness HRC 58-65
  • Excellent abrasion resistance
  • Enhanced wear resistance depending on application

W6Mo5Cr4V2 Tool Steel

High-speed tool steel with outstanding red hardness and wear resistance. Used for high-performance screws processing demanding materials at elevated temperatures.

  • Hardness HRC 63-66
  • High temperature stability
  • Superior toughness

Alloy Spray Welding

Tungsten carbide or nickel-based alloy spray welding applied to screw flights for maximum abrasion resistance in highly filled compound processing.

  • Hardness HRC 55-72
  • Localized protection
  • Repairable and re-applicable
