   <title>How To Clean The Extruder Screws Safely</title>
   <description>
    &lt;p&gt;Most OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer) recommend that you pull and clean 
your screw at least once a year to check for signs of wear on both the screw and 
barrel. Excessive wear will reduce the output and efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Safety Tips&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do not use open flame near Bamberko 9016 or Ultimax 9100 Purging Compound or 
barrel opening. The fumes will ignite. Use exhaust to ventilate the odor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Follow area safety rules&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remove die, adapters, clamp rings, breaker plate and screen pack before 
starting to purge the equipment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Opening must be free of restrictions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clean out previous resin from the hopper.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raise the extruder temperatures to 450 degrees F. Use temp. 450 - 550 F when 
purging ABS, Nylon, Polycarbonate, PET or other high temperature resins. Barrel 
temperatures should be kept within a 350-550 F(176-287 Celcius) range.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Back out the pressure transducer and the rupture disc, 2 to 3 turns to 
protect the surfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the extruder temperatures are reached, start the screw rotating at 80 
to 100 rpms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feed Bamberko 9016 or Ultimax 9100 Purging Compound into the extruder, a 
small quantity at a time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Observe the motor load (amps) to insure it can handle the load.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Estimated amount of purge compound to use is 2 pounds per inch of screw 
diameter. The Purging Compound should come out unmelted to produce the scrubbing 
effect. One or two volumes of the extruder capacity are all that is needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Minimize possible smoke and odor by purging into water.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clean out the hopper, run until the barrel and screw are empty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Immediately push screw out of the barrel and finish cleaning it with a wire 
cloth or a wire brush. This will prevent any of the purge compound, that is left 
on the screw, from melting to the screw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clean the inside of the barrel with a flue brush on a copper pipe. Follow up 
with a cotton cloth draped over the flue brush to wipe the barrel clean.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make sure that all purge residue (dust) is removed from the hopper, feed 
throat, and barrel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clean pressure transducer and rupture disc holes. Reapply anti-seez to the 
threads.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Re-assemble the extruder.&lt;/p&gt;
