Extruder Barrel Retrofits
Why replace a complete barrel liner whe you only need to change the part that is worn?
With the latest state-of-the-art barrel design from Baker Perkins you can upgrade your existing MPF50, 65, 80, 100 or 125 Series Twin Screw Food Extruder with a purpose-built OEM barrel retrofit package. This incorporates all the latest features, including replaceable liner inserts, and provides significant savings in cost of ownership and downtime.

- Barrel extensions provide an opportunity for increased processng capability.

Features
