Purpose Built Cleaning Oven for Injection Molding & Extrusion Screws
The ESC Series uses controlled heat to break down hardened polymer and other combustible organic residue on compatible metal screws. After processing and cooldown, the remaining ash can be removed through rinsing, brushing, pressure washing, or another approved finishing method. Injection Molding Screw Cleaning and Extrusion Screw Cleaning have never been easier.
Made for Frequent Cleaning Cycles
Designed for facilities that regularly process smaller screw loads and need more control over cleaning schedules, turnaround times, and recurring maintenance.
*3D System Model
Built for Polymer-Processing Screws
A focused burn-off oven series for compatible injection molding screws, extrusion die screws, and related metal screw components affected by recurring polymer buildup.
A Focused In-House Cleaning System for Injection Molding & Extrusion Operations
The ESC Series gives polymer processors a controlled way to remove hardened residue from compatible screws without depending entirely on extensive hand scraping, chemical stripping, or outside cleaning schedules.
Injection Molding Applications
Cleans compatible injection molding screws affected by hardened polymer buildup
Supports scheduled maintenance, material transitions, and recurring production cleaning
Reduces extensive scraping and dependence on outsourced screw-cleaning schedules
Extrusion Die Applications
Cleans compatible extrusion die screws and related metal screw components
Breaks down polymer, rubber, fiber, and other combustible organic residue
Improves access to cleaned surfaces for inspection before the screw returns to service
*Tooling construction, residue type, load size, and allowable processing temperature must be reviewed before cleaning.
The featured ESC-15 provides a practical starting point for facilities with recurring plastics screw cleaning demand. Final system selection should be based on the dimensions and weight of the tooling, organic residue volume, cleaning frequency, required throughput, available utilities, and installation requirements.

Controlled Cycle Management
Learn more about controlled thermal cleaning for injection molding screws, extrusion die screws, and recurring polymer-processing maintenance.
The ESC Series is primarily positioned for frequent, high-volume cleaning cycles involving compatible injection molding screws and extrusion die screws. Controlled heat breaks down hardened polymer and other combustible organic residue that can accumulate during production.
No. The burner flame is contained outside the load area. The screw is exposed to controlled heat rather than direct flame, helping provide a more controlled cleaning environment for approved metal tooling.
Compatible screws are placed inside an oxygen-limited processing chamber. Heat decomposes the combustible organic residue into removable ash while the oven monitors conditions throughout the cycle. After processing and cooldown, the ash can be removed through an appropriate rinsing, brushing, pressure-washing, or finishing process.
System selection should consider the screw’s dimensions, weight, geometry, residue volume, cleaning frequency, required production throughput, door-opening dimensions, available utilities, exhaust routing, and future capacity requirements. The ESC-15 should not be selected by model number alone.
