ENTEK Adds Additional Aftermarket Capabilities for All Leading Twin-Screw Extruder Brands
To keep up with customer demand, ENTEK has recently added additional aftermarket capabilities for supplying replacement wear parts and other services for all leading twin-screw extruder brands.
Replacement Wear Parts
ENTEK has recently expanded its replacement wear parts offerings for twin-screw extruders to include large-size screws and barrels, at sizes up to 250mm. Common sizes include 133mm, 160mm and 250mm parts. While ENTEK does not currently build twin-screw extruders at these sizes (ENTEK’s largest machine is 133mm), market demand for ENTEK-built parts for other brands of extruders led to this recent expansion.
All parts are designed using the best metallurgy options for running all types of materials. ENTEK’s history of supplying twin-screw extruders for challenging material formulations gives processors the advantage of using the company’s wealth of processing expertise.
“For years now, ENTEK has been providing replacement twin-screw extruder wear parts for both ENTEK and non-ENTEK brands,” said Tammy Straw, ENTEK’s Business Development Coordinator. “We make all our parts here in Oregon and we often can ship them faster than they can get them for their machinery suppliers. We keep many ENTEK and non-ENTEK replacement parts in stock, and some are available for next day shipment.”
Gearbox Rebuilding Services
Another recently added service provided by ENTEK, for its own machinery, is its gearbox rebuilding program. The gearbox is the ‘heart’ of any twin-

At the recent Applied Market Information (AMI) Compounding World Forum, held December 9-10, 2014 in Philadelphia, Al Bailey, ENTEK’s Controls Manager, gave a presentation outlining the company’s recommendations on how to approach and carry out major compounding plant expansions.
Titled “Putting a Compounding Extrusion System Together – An Extruder Manufacturer’s Perspective”, Al’s presentation drew upon ENTEK’s many years of experience helping customers expand their plant operations. Some of these plant expansions involved the addition of new compounding processing lines; others involved the design and construction of completely new manufacturing facilities.
“ENTEK began as a processor, and we know what it takes to plan, design, build, and maintain a world-class manufacturing plant,” said John Gillespie, ENTEK’s Director of Engineering. “We did the majority of the planning and construction of our battery separator production facility here in Oregon, and continue to help numerous compounding customers with their facilities.”
If you are considering expanding your compounding plant operations, contact John Effmann, ENTEK’s Director of Sales & Marketing at (541) 259-1068, or
jeffmann@entek.com, to discuss your plans. If you would like to receive a copy of Al Bailey’s presentation from the Compounding World Forum, e-mail Tammy Straw at

screw extruder, and a major part of the machine’s success. Traditionally, a worn or damaged gearbox meant significant downtime for the extruder, as most gearbox suppliers are overseas and repairs or even new orders could take months. ENTEK can now repair the gearboxes on its extruders in much less time.
In addition to supplying replacement wear parts, ENTEK provides numerous other value-added aftermarket services to processors including:
• barrel and screw measurement • parts stocking programs • in-plant process training • screw layout review and optimization
• machine rebuild services • control system upgrades • remote troubleshooting • maintenance check-ups
