Turbo-Screws® Technology for Foamed Polymers & for Bio-Polymers

Heat Up Profits. Cool Down Costs.

 

Turbo-Screws®  are a patented hardware system of foam extruder screws. Utilizing a specially designed and patented mechanical geometry, Turbo-Screws®  increase extrusion output for most tandem, long single & twin screw foam systems, regardless of machine brand, age, size or style of construction.

After more than thirty years of research and development, Turbo-Screws®  are currently covered by 6 U.S. Patents and are patent pending in over 50 additional countries.


Turbo-Screws®  are proven performers with more than ten (10) years of experimental and production data logged. Turbo-Screws®  have been successfully employed for diverse materials and foam extrusion processes around the world.
 

When does 3 equal 5?

Typically, 3 extrusion lines with Turbo-Screws®  equals the productive capacity of 5 extrusions lines without Turbo-Screws®.

Turbo-Screws®  are the lowest cost method of increasing your throughput.  Turbo-Screws®  produce more product with less labor, lower power and water costs with minimal changes to your extrusion system.

 

Why shouldn't I just buy a new extrusion line?

With Turbo-Screws®  you will enjoy a lower initial outlay of financial capital and enhanced capital productivity for your existing equipment. Unlike the typical seven figure purchase cost of a new extrusion line, with Turbo-Screws®  you pay a low fixed cost.  Your costs as a Turbo-Screws®  user are never tied to the throughput rate you achieve with Turbo-Screws® .

And, since you are only obligated for e.g. as short as one year at a time, you only buy the capacity increase you need, when you need it.  Unlike the 26 week or longer delivery period for a new extrusion line, Turbo-Screws®  can be delivered in as little as four weeks. By improving your existing extrusion productivity Turbo-Screws®  quickly adds profit to your bottom line without excessive burden or risk for your  organization. 

Turbo-Screws®  let you grow rationally at a controlled and affordable pace. With typical new foam extrusion capital equipment purchases, you must make a risky, large step capital investment and inherit the need to sell large amounts of end product quickly.

 

What's the Return on Investment with Turbo-Screws®  ?

The Turbo-Screws®  return on investment is aggressive and achievable with most installations paying for themselves within the first year of production.

In most instances the annual  cost to use Turbo-Screws®  is no more expensive than the yearly costs of a small panel truck.

 

What about confidentiality?
