DERC Automatic Extruder Screw Cleaner

The innovative solution for automatic cleaning of extruder screws

This cleaning system is designed for cleaning long extruder screws, used in barrels, for example, with high pressure waterjetting. The closed system is a fully automatic, PLC-controlled system.

After the extruder screw is placed in the system, you close the covers. The extruder screw is rotated by the electric driven bundle rollers. The cleaning steps and speed of the car can be set by the operator. The nozzles, in this case 2 Monro-Jets, are mounted on an electrical driven car, which drives back and forth over a guide rail. On a safe distance, the operator programs and follows the whole cleaning proces. The system works in combination with your own high pressure unit and vacuum truck.
