Flite Technology

Scientific Analysis

Non-Destructive Testing – Before or after repairs on request. Eliminates wasting money on severely cracked on fatigued units which are not worth repairing. Test Methods Include- X-ray ultrasonic magnetic particle, dye penetrant gamma ray, ect.
Hardness Evaluation- Screw base Materials and hardfaced areas. Planting and coating checked for thickness, lubricity hardness and porosity Micro-Photography- Screws and barrels not holding up? Make sure you are getting the material you ordered. Even then, improper welding and bonding techniques can diffuse soft substrate atals into hardfacing overlay, reducing wear protection.
Metallurgical Breakdowns- Investigate and solve problems involving premature wear and breakage. Wear Analysis- Comparisons and compatibility studies.

Measuring Devices

Flite-Mike Digital Micrometers - specially designed for screws. Eliminates awkward holding positions and subtracting parallel bar dimensions. Model II also checks flight depths. CYL/TECH Bore Gauges- To measure injection and extrusion barrels. Can reach into barrel bores to 40 feet in length.

Engineering
Fliteex High Performance Barrier Screws- Superior melt, lower temperatures, increased output and reduced energy costs. Molten polymer is separated from solids with a secondary flight running along the side of the primary flight. This moves the molten material ahead, preventing it from encapsulating it from encapsulating the solid material. SDT – Screw design Technology. A few of our design models is for Extruder applications
