Used Morando Extruders

Overview

Extruders in ceramic manufacturing shape clay and ceramic mixes by forcing material through a die to produce continuous profiles—pipes, tiles, rods and complex sections. Machines range from single-screw to twin-screw designs and often include vacuum de-airing, water-cooled heads and adjustable screw geometry to control moisture and density. They are ideal for high-volume, repeatable production needing consistent cross-sections and dimensional accuracy.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used ceramic extruder?

Inspect screw and barrel wear, gearbox and motor condition, die surfaces, seals and bearings. Review maintenance logs, electrical controls, PLCs and spare-parts availability. Run a material test if possible to verify throughput and product quality.

How do I match extruder capacity and power to my production needs?

Estimate required throughput, material rheology and desired profile. Check screw L/D, motor horsepower and gearbox ratios. Confirm the extruder can handle your clay’s moisture and additives; consult vendors with your target kg/hr.

How should I prepare an extruder for shipping?

Drain and dry water circuits, lock or remove rotating parts and dies, label and secure loose components, and protect electrical panels. Use a carrier experienced with heavy process equipment and crate sensitive parts to prevent damage.

What routine maintenance keeps an extruder reliable?

Daily cleaning of feed and die areas, regular inspection of screws, barrels, seals and bearings for wear, scheduled gearbox oil changes, and calibration of controls. Keep common wear parts and spare dies on hand to minimize downtime.
