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

Santa Fe Machine educates our customers on how to optimize their Extrusion processes & extend the life of their screws & barrels. Decades of experience in extrusion screw design allows us to work with every kind of resin/polymer, focusing on screws for premium color mixes with the most efficient compounding and throughput.

Highest Quality Parts for Extrusion Screws

At Santa Fe Machine Works, we’re known for offering the highest quality parts with a variety of extrusion screw solutions including:

• Minimum screw diameter 1/2”OD X 12” long
• Maximum screw diameter 12”OD X 242 long
• Carefully engineered screw geometry to match the exact needs of your process.
• High throughput, supreme mix and melt quality for optimum component life.
• Screw and barrel solutions for new processes and products.
• Screw recovery solutions for high performance and multiple applications.
• Quality inspections with every step of the process to create customized parts specific to our customers demands.

Injection Screw Design For Optimum Mix and Reduced Cycle Times

With nearly a century of experience, we know general purpose profile and substrate screws rarely meet the demands of ever changing polymers & resins. Using GP screws in state-of-the-art machinery is like putting cheap tires on a fine race car.

To compliment our high performance injection screw designs, we are proud to offer Posi-Melt Technology. With a superior mix that produces 100% true vibrant color, Posi-Melt applications meet the most demanding melt quality and cycle times in the industry.

Posi-Melt Injection Screw Design

Injection screw design is based on several factors that are determined in our first consultation. We meet and exceed our customers expectations by offering:

• Assistance with complicated upsize and downsize packages.
• L.I.M. (Liquid Injection Molding) conversion packages.
• M.I.M. (Metal Injection Molding) conversion packages.
• Thermoset conversion packages offered.
• Minimum 1/2” O.D. to a maximum 12” O.D. screws.
• Carefully engineered screw geometry to match the exact needs of your process.
• Reduced cycle times and longer machine life.
• Pairing of base materials and surface treatments to maximize screw life.
• Screw recovery solutions for high performance and multiple applications.
• Quality inspections with every step of the process to create customized parts specific to our customers demands.
• Expertly manufactured parts that exceed OEM tolerances.
