| Selecting the right screw for your application can be a
        challenging and time consuming endeavor.  The PS&E Design Team
        makes it easy.  Our Engineering and Design Teams have a combined
        150+ years of hands-on experience in solving simple to complex molding
        problems. Although every molding project has unique variables, chances
        are that our engineers have solved similar issues in the past. Whether you are looking to speed up cycle times, increase melt
        quality and consistency, achieve a more homogenous melt, or enhance
        material quality by reducing over shearing or long residence times, PS&E
        can provide a custom design screw to solve even the most difficult
        problems. 
 
 Our Commitment
 Nothing is more important than getting it right the first
        time.  That's why our Design Team will do whatever it takes to
        custom design the best screw, barrel, or complete injection unit to
        match your specific application. We take pride in the ability to make
        any screw. Our experienced Design Team is dedicated to providing
        exceptional design and technical support to keep your molding operations
        running efficiently.  When you need assistance, we're here to make
        your job easier.  Let us know your specific needs and we can custom
        design a screw to fit your specific application.  For quicker

 Quality Craftsmanship
 All PS&E custom design screws are manufactured from the
        highest-quality materials to withstand the stringent demands your
        operations require. Our screws represent the finest workmanship in the
        industry.  Each custom designed screw is precisely manufactured to
        your specifications using the latest technology and quality inspected to
        ensure optimum performance.  We inspect every screw for accurate
        gauging of all dimensions and evaluate the screw's appearance and
        performance requirements by performing quality checks to verify:
 
           Material CompositionHardness TestingMechanical DimensionsStraightnessWeldingSurface Finish Production Capabilities
 We can manufacture any screw from 1/2" (12mm) to
        10" (254mm) ID up to 25' in length.
 Our screws are available in a variety of tool steels to meet your
        specific requirements.
