Pressure heads

Adaptability, Sliding, Performance

At BMI, we design, manufacture and refurbish pressure heads for all brands of extruders.

Our approach is based on a precise assessment of your equipment, tailor-made engineering, and coatings adapted to your real operating conditions: sliding performance, abrasion, production rate, geometry and outlet stability.

BMI Expertise

Our pressure heads stand out for their custom design and numerous advantages.

Adaptability to the Product and Die

Our internal Technical Department, directly connected to our industrial facilities, designs, manufactures and repairs your pressure heads with full control over every stage of the process.

Each component is adjusted to the exact geometry of your die and to the specific requirements of your product, ensuring precision, repeatability and responsiveness.

This integrated setup also allows us to quickly improve a design based on your needs and field feedback.

Coatings adapted to your needs

We offer several technical solutions to ensure optimal sliding performance and increased wear resistance:

ClayFlow™ – A technical coating designed to optimise clay flow in the extrusion zone.
Low friction coefficient
More stable throughput
Reduced load on the machine
Improved service life

HiChrome – Chromium carbide hardfacing
High-hardness overlay designed for highly abrasive areas.
Excellent wear resistance
Ideal for extending the service life of an existing pressure head
Effective in retrofit operations for targeted refurbishment

Steel
A simple and economical solution for low-to-moderate production rates.
Suitable when wear is limited
Appropriate when sliding performance is not a critical requirement

Each coating is selected according to your process, production targets and expected service life.

Multi-brand retrofit

We refurbish your pressure heads, regardless of their brand or original design.

Our intervention includes dimensional surveying, restoration of worn areas and, when required, optimisation of the internal geometries to stabilise the material flow.

Partial or complete retrofit, coating replacement, improved sliding performance.
