AIMS Ltd, through its specialisation in advanced Powder Metallurgy processing, has pioneered the development of improved performance of wear parts for the food and plastic extrusion market.
As polymer compounds adapt to provide additional functionality, particularly for packaging, operating conditions in raw material manufacturing plant is accelerating the need for improved wear resistance, particularly in equipment used for pellet manufacture.
With the steady increase in demand for longer processing campaigns for equipment operating in the food, snacks and pet foods sectors, the demand for improved properties of critical components, ie extrusion barrels, has required systematic improvement to materials in direct contact with the product ingredients.
As the demands on extruder equipment increase, be this for Food or Polymer processing, the investment in new, high value materials has become important to maximise machine efficiency.
