[ Corrosive Resistant Extrusion Barrels ]

Corrosive Resistant Extrusion Barrels

Corrosive environments can significantly degrade plastic manufacturing processes and equipment. With over 25 years of engineering and industry expertise, Canterbury Engineering provides two solutions to improve performance when operating within high temperature, severely corrosive environments.

Solution #1
555 with Inconel Protection – For use in standard corrosive environments.
The 555 with Inconel Protection is our most cost-effective solution for improving performance within standard corrosive environments. Iron is a major contributor to corrosion from chlorine and fluoride based acids. The 555 with Inconel protection solves this problem with an extremely low iron content of less than 1%, thus, minimizing the corrosive effects of these acids.

Solution #2
BO22 Iron Free Barrel – For use in highly corrosive environments.
The BO22 is our superior solution for highly corrosive environments. With Zero Iron Content, the BO22 offers 3 to 4 times longer service life creating a strong ROI for the investment. It is the only Iron-Free liner available on the market today.

Benefits – Corrosive Resistant Barrels

Both the 555 with Inconel Protection and the BO22 offer great performance solutions to corrosive Fluoropolymers, food grade processing equipment, and severely corrosive plasticizing environments. With low iron and iron free content, both screw and barrel assemblies provide strong benefits.

• Superior Performance in corrosive or abrasive environments.
• Resistant to Corrosion from attack by corrosive acids found in Fluoropolymers processing.
• FDA Recognized and Approved as suitable bore materials for processing plastics in food, medical and pharmaceutical applications.
• Compatibility - Compatible with many screw flight hard facing materials and metal constructions. The majority of the time it is mated with corrosion resistant base metals - XC4000 coated or C56 hard face Inconel or other high nickel alloy.
• Added Inconel Protection - Inconel cladding can be included to critical cylinder surfaces that are not protected by corrosion resistant inlay. In most applications, Inconel protection is typically required on the discharge end of the barrel; however, we add Inconel cladding on other unprotected surfaces if requested.
• Complete Barrel Assemblies & Liners - BO22 & 555 are available in complete barrel assemblies and liners.

555 with Inconel Protection for Standard Corrosive Resistance

The 555 with Inconel Protection is designed for standard corrosion-resistant environments working with mildly corrosive resins. It is our most cost effective solution to improve performance within corrosive environments.

• Less Than 1% Iron - This spun-cast inlay typically has less than 1% iron in the base chemistry and is similar to other bore inlays offered in the marketplace as “corrosion-resistant”.
• Provides Moderate Corrosion Resistance for Processing Fluoropolymers – This inlay provides moderate corrosion resistance for processing highly corrosive Fluoropolymers because of its tendency to absorb even the very small amount of iron from the backing material. It is also somewhat lower corrosion resistance compared to the corrosion-resistance level of BO22 inlay (optimal solution).

BO22 for Severe Corrosive Resistant

The BO22 Barrel Liner is our best corrosion-resistant barrel inlay offering superior performance in severe applications. It is designed to operate in severe, highly corrosive environments and protects against attack from acids produced in the processing of Fluoropolymers. B022 results in 3 to 4 Times Longer Service Life compared against other corrosion resistant barrels.

Major features and benefits of B022 are:

• No Iron Content - Iron is a major contributor to corrosion from chlorine and fluoride based acids. BO22 bimetallic liners are made using a low temperature Hot Isostatic Pressing, “Hipping” (HIP), process that allows for an iron free liner with no porosity. The HIP process prevents changes to the inlay chemistry by not absorbing any corrosion inducing chemicals typically present in the backing material. Other inlays on the market offered for processing Fluoropolymers may contain iron or are spun-cast into the cylinder and thus may absorb iron found in the backing material. Absorbed iron will make these cylinders less corrosion-resistant over a relatively short time period.
• High Temperature Hardness – B022 is a nickel-rich, boron-base alloy with high contents of molybdenum, chrome, and is nickel enriched with complex borides and carbides. This chemistry allows B022 to maintain high temperature hardness above Rockwell C 50 at 700 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance – High Molybdenum contents and other alloying elements mentioned above are superior in corrosion resistance against halogen containing elements. This reduces the acid attack on the liner as compared with conventional nickel-cobalt liners made by competing manufacturers.
