XPS Foamed Screw & Barrel Set

XPS foaming depends on dissolving the blowing agent into the melt under pressure and then letting it expand in a controlled way. The screw has to build that pressure smoothly and the barrel has to hold temperature precisely — together, not separately.

We build complete sets for XPS board lines, nitrided or bimetallic, sized to your line's output.

Common Questions

Questions Buyers Ask About This Product

CO₂ or HFC blowing agent?

Tell us which — the pressure profile and screw design differ. We design for the agent you actually use.

What output can the set handle?

We size the screw to your target kg/h and board width. Give us both and we calculate it.

Nitrided or bimetallic for XPS?

Nitrided for standard virgin PS. Bimetallic if you run recycle content or mineral additives.
