24/7 Emergency Injection & Extrusion Repair Services

We offer around the clock repair services to ensure your press is back up and running.

With nearly a century of serving the manufacturing industry, we are ready to apply our expertise to your repair needs no matter how great or small.

Santa Fe Machine Works offers a complete selection of valves and end caps manufactured from a variety of steels and alloys that work most efficiently for chosen processes.

We examine how your machinery is running to put together a package to enhance optimal efficiency. We know how to mix and match the best valve design per screw specifications. We carefully choose our suppliers in our commitment to the same level of quality and prompt service we expect of ourselves.

We are proud to offer the highest quality end caps and valves created from corrosion and wear-resistant alloys that withstand high abrasion production environments including:

• 3-Piece Valves
• 4-Piece Valves
• Smear Tips
• End Caps
• Ball Check Valves
• OEM Tips

All our valves and end caps are custom made. With tolerances that are held closer than OEM specifications, they are made from premium tool steels, are heat treated and have highly polished inner surfaces.

We Identify Opportunities For Enhanced Performance

At Santa Fe Machine Works, we guarantee every custom screw we make is the highest quality you’ll find anywhere. Some customers have even told us our screws look pretty. We know that might sound silly, but we have a lot of pride in our reputation of taking that extra step to make our products exceptional.

Our process begins by determining our customers exact specifications. With your complete machine processing information, our experienced team is then ready to lead you through various applications and materials to create the most efficient match for your needs.
We identify opportunities for enhanced performance. When our customers have issues with difficult extrusion or injection materials, we have several solutions.

If there is premature wear, we know what to look for. If machinery is running slow or having regular breakdowns, we know where to troubleshoot. If our customer will benefit, we have the expertise to reverse-engineer any existing part. With the multitude of specialized screws we can create, offering our customers the best options is our first priority. In order to define the perfect part, we take the time to fully understand our customers process, current machinery, materials, experiences and output expectations.

With our customers comprehensive information we can offer several solutions including:

• Duplicate existing screw design if desired
• Enhancing screw substrate and surface treatments to eliminate premature wear
• Upgraded screw profiles achieve proper mix, melt quality and output rates for both injection and extrusion screws.
• Superior mixing and reduced cycle times with Posi-Melt technology for injection molding screws

Your Project Stays On Time | High Quality | High Warranty
