Materials
We can supply a complete range of parallel twin screws. Based on our extensive experience, we can recommend the appropriate steel grade and surface treatment to minimize wear. According to the customer’s needs, we can propose nitriding steel, eventually welded with tool steel or other materials.
Screws according to OEM’s specifications
We deliver screws according to OEM’s specification. The screws are the heart of the process and determines the productivity and the quality of the product.
Profiles
Maxi Melt can make screws with all kinds of profiles which are in use with the customer.
The advantage of our screws.
Up-to-date machinery and CAD/CAM facilities make it possible to manufacture high-quality, complex products with tight tolerances from a range of materials selected on a case-by-case basis, with a high surface finish suitable to withstand wear and/or corrosion conditions.

Welding materials for the screw flights
For larger screw sizes, we often use nitrided materials with the flight tips welded with different materials. This creates wear/corrosion protection or improves friction/lubrication.
