Barrier Mixing Screws
ETA Barrier Mixing Screws are an excellent solution for the processing of thermoplastic resins with single screw extruders and injection moulding machines.
ETA Barrier Mixing Screws are used for both for new high performance machines as well as for optimisation and upgrading of existing extrusion machinery.
In each individual case the screw design and the screw manufacturing are tailor-made to customer specification.
