PLASTICIZING UNITS: SMART COMPONENT REPLACEMENT

Pyrolysis cleaning can reveal recoverable components  hidden by polymer

Plasticized, carbonized or degraded polymers can completely cover screws, barrels and complete plasticizing units, making inspections, wear analysis and refurbishment almost impossible.

For this reason, Euroviti offers a dedicated cleaning service through controlled pyrolysis furnaces, suitable for:

• single components,
• complete screw & barrel sets,
• heavily contaminated assemblies.

The process removes polymer residues without aggressive mechanical cleaning, helping preserve geometries and technical surfaces before:

• dimensional checks,
• wear analysis,
• regeneration,
• or refurbishment activities.

Besides the technical advantage, controlled cleaning also helps manage polymer degradation and fumes in a safer and more professional way compared to uncontrolled cleaning methods.

In many cases, components initially considered unusable can return to a condition suitable for inspection, recovery and further service life.

Sometimes, the first step toward reliability is simply removing the plastic hiding the real component underneath.
