Annual Extruder Audit

The world of industrial extrusion is evolving, with higher quality demands and tougher standards becoming the norm. As a result, Baker Perkins has developed the Annual Extruder Audit to ensure that your extruders are operating at peak efficiency and meeting industry standards.

The Annual Extruder Audit will enable you to predict, rather than react, to breakdowns and quality problems. Previous audits have resulted in increases in throughput of between 10% to 20%.

Baker Perkins offers a full line of services to optimize the performance of your equipment. Each audit will result in a customized report, tailored to your requirements. Allow our technician to maximize the value of their visit by combining the audit with other services, such as repairs or upgrades.

The Annual Extruder Audit will assess:

• Main motor
• Alignment
• Gearbox and torque limiter
• Shafts
• Heating and cooling
• Seal condition
• Safety measures and alarms
• Electrical panel
• Upper and lower barrel liner dimensioning to specification
• Agitator shaft and screw element dimensioning
• Spare part inventory
• Process evaluation
