Grooved feed section for high-output HDPE pipe extrusion. Machined in our own Henan workshop — to your drawing, or reverse-engineered from your worn parts.
A grooved feed bush grips the pellet instead of letting it slip at the barrel wall. On HDPE pipe extrusion that typically lifts output noticeably at the same screw speed, with lower specific energy.
The grooves take heavy wear, so we build the feed section as a replaceable liner with its own water-cooling circuit. When the liner eventually wears you replace that part, not the whole barrel.

Standard range shown. Every dimension below can be changed to your machine, resin and output — custom manufacturing is our daily business.
| Bore diameter | Ø45–250 mm |
|---|---|
| Feed design | Grooved bush, replaceable liner |
| Cooling | Water-cooled feed section |
| Material | 38CrMoAlA, hardened feed bush |
| Output gain | Depends on resin and line — we calculate per case |
| Liner | Replaceable without scrapping the barrel |
| Lead time | 35–45 days |
The honest answer depends on your resin, not on price. Here is how we advise customers.
| Gas Nitrided (38CrMoAlA) | Bimetallic Alloy Lining | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Unfilled PE, PP, PS, ABS, virgin PVC | Glass-filled, mineral-filled, recycled, corrosive |
| Surface hardness | HV 900–1020, depth 0.45–0.7 mm | Alloy layer 2–5 mm, metallurgically bonded |
| Typical service life | Baseline | 3–5× baseline on abrasive resin |
| Cost | Lower | Higher, recovered through fewer stoppages |
| Certification | MTC with heat number | MTC + hardness records, third-party on request |
It depends on resin, screw speed and head pressure. Give us your current kg/h and we model it before quoting.
Yes — that is the point of the design. You replace the grooved bush when it wears rather than the whole barrel.
Grooved feed raises drive torque. We check your gearbox rating before recommending it — we would rather say no than sell you a stalled line.
