Barrel Alignment and Measuring Services

Barrel Alignment The Purchase of a new barrel or screw can often be a considerable expenditure for an organisation, not perhaps in the initial purchase price of the replacement part but in the time, planning and lost production in making the change. It is essential that companies therefore protect that investment and ensure that their new components are installed in the appropriate manner. The alignment of the barrel, feed housing and Gearbox drive shaft are critical in the installation to avoid premature wearing of the components and subsequent loss in production rates in the future. DS Brookes understands these issues and offers a Laser Alignment service to ensure that these components are in their optimum condition before production restarts. Our visiting Engineer will measure the initial deflection and then assist your production staff in making the simple adjustments until the positioning of the components are as near to the nominal possible thus protecting your investment for the future. Inspection and Measuring Services Screws and Barrels used in Plastics/Rubber processing naturally wear over time and companies often don’t realise the consequences that this wear process can have on the quality and quantity of production from their machinery. DS Brookes understands implicitly these issues and offers an Inspection and Measuring Service to help customers determine how to maintain their machinery in peak condition. Our visiting Engineer will inspect both Barrel and Screw conditions and submit to the client a written report on the condition of the components and the recommended remedial action required if any. Again DS Brookes will work with you to protect your production equipment from the consequences of worn and/or deteriorating components.
