In the maintenance and upkeep of rubber screw bars, companies often face the decision of whether to refurbish the screw or replace it with a new one. Zhoushan microwave screw machinery Co., LTD offers users high-quality refurbishment services and brand-new product options. Here are the main differences between the two:

1. Cost and Economic Efficiency:

Refurbishing a screw typically involves reprocessing, heat treating, or surface repairing the existing screw, at a significantly lower cost than purchasing a brand-new one. For companies with limited budgets who do not wish to frequently replace the entire system, refurbishment is the ideal solution for maximizing cost-effectiveness. In contrast, replacing the screw with a new one requires a larger upfront investment and is suitable for severely damaged equipment or scenarios requiring maximum production efficiency.

2. Performance Restoration:

A brand-new screw is in optimal condition in terms of material strength, machining precision, and surface hardness, providing optimal production performance. After undergoing professional repair processes (such as precision heat treatment and surface coating), refurbished screws can be restored to near-new condition. However, under extreme conditions of extreme loads and prolonged operation, they may be slightly inferior to brand-new screws. Nevertheless, for most standardized production processes, the performance of refurbished screws is sufficient to meet requirements.

3. Environmental Protection and Sustainability

Refurbishing screws is a typical green maintenance model. By reusing existing equipment, waste of metal materials and energy consumption during processing can be significantly reduced, helping companies fulfill their environmental responsibilities. In contrast, while replacing parts offers performance advantages, it involves the production and transportation of new materials, resulting in a greater environmental burden.

4. Applicable Scenarios and Lifespan Expectation

If the screw only experiences surface wear or localized damage, the refurbishment process of Zhoushan microwave screw machinery Co., LTD. can effectively extend its service life, achieving a "brand new" appearance. However, if the internal structure of the screw has developed fatigue cracks or grain growth due to prolonged high-temperature operation, and its performance cannot recover, then replacing it with a new part is the only solution.
