Engineered for Reliability and Precision
At ZHITIAN, we manufacture Twin Screw Extruder Screw Elements designed for the world’s most demanding compounding environments.
Each element is machined from high-performance alloys using
advanced CNC and heat treatment technology, ensuring perfect
geometry, mechanical stability, and interchangeability across
leading extruder systems.
Our design philosophy combines engineering precision, material science, and process understanding, allowing our screw elements to deliver stable torque transfer,
optimized shear distribution, and extended service life in
continuous operation.
Advanced Materials for Extreme Applications
The performance of screw elements is largely determined by their
base materials. ZHITIAN offers a full range of materials engineered
to withstand mechanical and chemical stress in polymer and chemical
processing.

FAQ – Twin Screw Extruder Screw Elements
Q1: What’s the best material for highly abrasive formulations?
A1: We recommend PM-HIP alloys suchs as SAM26 or CPM10V for maximum
wear resistance.
Q2: Can ZHITIAN manufacture non-standard or custom screw profiles?
A2: Yes. Custom geometry and material combinations can be produced
based on drawings or performance targets.
Q3: How long is the typical service life?
A3: Depending on material and application, service life can be 2–5 times longer than conventional tool steel elements.
Q4: Are these elements compatible with other international extruder
brands?
A4: Absolutely. All dimensions follow OEM standards or can be
customized for specific models.
