The main screw elements and the splined shafts have worn out and are now causing damage to the extruder barrel sections. They need to be replaced, and these parts have very tight tolerances. Use of third party manufactured parts would void our warranty by Buhler, and could harm the rest of the system if they are not machined to the very tight tolerances specified by Buhler. Buhler, Inc. is a direct sale company and does not have a dealership network. Buhler, Inc. Parts list is attached.
