Overview

XtrudeWorks specializes in adaptor transitions designed for polymer processing applications requiring precise alignment, secure sealing, and smooth product flow. From high-pressure extrusion interfaces to intricate downstream transitions, we create solutions that ensure compatibility between dissimilar equipment, line configurations, or legacy tooling. Emphasis is placed on surface finishes, thermal compatibility, and all-metal, O-ring, gasket or process-specific seal mechanisms for seamless integration and performance reliability.

Process Options

• Consultation & Scope Definition → Collaborate with client to define requirements, materials processed, and process layout needs
• Interface Assessment & System Mapping → Evaluate upstream and downstream equipment to define critical alignment, flange, and bolt pattern or clamping details
• Adaptor Design & CAD Modeling → Develop production-ready adaptor designs by applying process-appropriate material selections, surface finishes and coatings to reduce shear, eliminate dead zones, and improve flow characteristics
• Reverse Design of Legacy Components → Reconstruct existing adaptors or design replacements to ensure system compatibility during upgrades or repair
• Manufacturing Documentation → Deliver drawings, tolerancing, and detailed assembly references for machining and production teams
• Vendor Coordination & Manufacturing → Support sourcing and qualification of machining and fabrication partners to ensure high-quality, specification-compliant manufacturing
• Installation Oversight & Interface Support → Provide guidance during equipment installation, ensuring correct alignment and interfacing
