We
manufacture fully wiping (self cleaning), Twin
Screw Compounding Elements using high
technology CAD/CAM facilities. The designs of
the elements are made from basic compounding
machine parameters such as barrel-diameter,
center distance and constant clearance, and
are completely interchangeable. The computer
aided engineering methods developed by Dr. Babu
Padmanabhan, CEO of STEER, ensure a fully wiping
profile for any lead of screw, any number of
starts and any machine parameter.
The company also specializes
in the manufacture of high-free volume elements,
transition elements and various types of kneading
blocks.
The manufacturing challenges
are, working on tough-to-machine tool steels,
achieving several geometric accuracy's with
complex shapes, dealing with a very large number
of different elements and producing made-to-order
parts with small lead-times. |
