Challenges in Extruder Cleaning

The extrusion process often faces multiple challenges when it comes to maintaining equipment cleanliness:


  • Stubborn Residual Plastics:  Plastic residues tend to stick to the screws at high temperatures, which can lead to contamination and discoloration, especially during material changes.
  • Hard-to-Reach Areas: Extruder screws and longer channels are difficult to manually clean, causing material buildup over time.
  • Downtime and Production Losses:  Cleaning often involves taking apart the screw, resulting in significant downtime and extra costs.
  • Use of Chemicals: Aggressive cleaning agents can damage the screws and barrels, leading to corrosion and a shortened lifespan of equipment.
