Pro & Touch Replacement Barrel & Screw
Complete conversion kit for the Noztek Pro and Touch extruder platform
Overview
The Noztek Pro & Touch Replacement Barrel & Screw is a complete conversion kit engineered to increase throughput and pressure development in the Pro and Touch extruder platform. The two-stage screw design improves melt quality, mixing consistency, and dimensional stability across standard, filled, and recycled polymer feedstocks — with a plug-and-play fit requiring minimal recalibration.
Screw & Barrel Specifications
Barrel
- Length: 260mm
- Internal diameter: 15mm (precision-honed)
- External diameter: 22mm
- Material: Hardened tool steel with wear-resistant treatment
Screw

Two-Stage Design
Stage 1 — Feed section (8.5mm diameter)
Deep channel geometry for high-capacity material intake. Handles varied pellet geometries and bulk densities with consistent feed rates.
Stage 2 — Metering section (10.5mm diameter)
1.24:1 compression ratio for controlled pressure development and melt homogenisation.
Complete Kit Includes
- Precision-machined replacement barrel
- Two-stage engineered screw
- Heavy-duty thrust bearing assembly
- Steel coupling with keyway
- Installation hardware
Performance & Compatibility
Processing Improvements Over Standard Screw
- Higher throughput without compromising output quality
- Better dispersion for filled and reinforced materials
- Reduced thermal exposure for temperature-sensitive polymers
- Improved feeding of recycled and multi-component feedstocks
- More consistent melt pressure for tighter diameter tolerances
Output Quality
- Reduced filament diameter variation through stable pressure control
- Improved surface finish via enhanced melt homogenisation
- Better mechanical properties in extruded product through improved mixing
- Efficient material turnover reduces cross-contamination between runs
Compatibility & Installation
Compatible with Noztek Pro and Touch extruders. Plug-and-play fit with existing heating and control systems — minimal recalibration required. Full technical support provided for installation and process optimisation.
Maintenance
Wear-resistant components throughout. Easy disassembly for cleaning and inspection. Replaceable elements allow cost-effective targeted maintenance without full assembly replacement.
