Diameter & seat: Match the barrel bore, adapter recess and seal design.
Holes: Hole size, pitch and chamfers set pressure drop and flow.
Material: Hardened stainless tool steel or nitrided steel for wear and corrosion.
Materials
Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.
Fitting & Care
Clean by burn-off or in a fluidized bed, then check holes for erosion.
Replace the screen pack every time the plate is removed.
Common Mistakes
Running without a screen pack, so the melt is not filtered.
Reusing a plate with eroded or cracked holes.
When Extruder Breaker Plate Is Not the Right Choice
Not a filter by itself — it supports the screen pack that does the filtering.
Extruder Breaker Plate is made to order as finished parts. Indicative pricing starts from about US$45.00 per piece for a standard size at production quantity; the final price depends on size, material, finish, tooling and order volume. Send your configuration from the drawing above for a quotation.
