Nitrided General-Purpose Screw

The workhorse screw. Three zones — feed, compression, metering — with a polished flight profile that keeps material from hanging up and degrading. Gas nitrided to HV 900–1020 for a hard, low-friction surface.

This is what we recommend when you run unfilled commodity resins and want a dependable replacement at a sensible price. Available in standard sizes from stock steel, or machined to your dimensions.

Common Questions

Questions Buyers Ask About This Product

Is GP enough for my resin?

For unfilled PE, PP, PS and ABS, yes. Add glass fibre or mineral filler and we would steer you to a bimetallic barrel instead.

Can I order just the screw?

Yes — screw only, barrel only or a matched set. For a set we machine both together and set the clearance ourselves.

Do you hold stock?

We hold semi-finished steel in common diameters, which shortens delivery. Finished screws are made to order — we do not keep a shelf of finished random sizes.
