Cutter blades
Replacing cutter blades as part of regular maintenance is essential to maintaining product quality. Blunt blades will increase the number of fines produced and alter the shape of the final product dramatically. Overtightening blades onto the die face can also increase the wear and is a characteristic of many OEM designs.

Key features of Extrusion-Link blade design 

• Spring steel flexible blades

• Easy and quick set-up

• Precise cut every time 

• Fewer fines and dust

• Reduced die wear

 

Extrusion-Link can offer replacement blades for Clextral cutters as well conversion to flexible blade cutting and upgrade of the cutter 

 

Pressure/temperature probes and rupture disks
Either offered as an upgrade or as a direct replacement, Extrusion-Link recommends temperature or pressure probes, or a combi-probe. 
 

Uses: 

• Production parameter

• Safety Warning

• Quality control 

 

We would always recommend a rupture disk on extrusion processes. 
 

Heating elements
Extrusion-Link offers a range of heating solutions including: 

• cartridge heaters

• ceramic knuckle band heaters.  

 

Our engineers can specify and supply replacement parts.
 

Upgrades to heating systems can include: 

• safety upgrades
