Mechanical And Machine Tool Services
Industrial Engineer in Johannesburg

Mechanical and Machine Tool Services (Pty) Ltd is a provider of engineering services for the repair and refurbishment of extruders and injection moulders in the plastics industry in Southern Africa.

MMTS offers a wide range of engineering services to the plastic conversion and recycling industry. We also offer the design of barrels and screws using the latest technologies from our experienced designers from Europe and Asia. We service, repair, recondition, custom-make and import all types of barrels. In the process of extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulding etc, screws are used to process the raw material into a usable form to make the final product required. However, the performance of the screw is dependant on the condition of the barrel, and we manufacture, repair and recondition most types of barrels, single and twin. All work is done in-house except heat treatment which we subcontract to our specialist engineering partners. We will come to your premises and do a full assessment of the condition of your barrel and provide you with a report detailing the wear along the entire length. We will also evaluate the profile, straightness, concentricity, surface finish and hardness of the screw as advise of any potential problems. We do not normally charge our local and loyal customers for this service, and consider it a necessary part of maintaining the relationship with the client. We manufacture, repair and recondition all types of screws for processing a wide variety of material from virgin PE to dry sawdust. We do not normally charge our local customers for this service, and consider it a necessary part of condition monitoring for plant. Struggling with skills for stripping and maintaining your extruders? We refurbish, repair and rent granulators of all types and sizes. We supply and repair shredders of all types and sizes from manufacturers like Untha, Hi-Tech and Satrind. We recondition shredder blades at a fraction of the cost of new ones. We make and repair nibblers (single shaft shredders) to reduce lumps to small pieces or shavings depending on requirements. We also recondition and re-build extruders as well as their barrels, screws, upstream and downstream equipment. We manufacture, repair and recondition screen changers, both manual and hydraulic. We have experience with all types including, sliding plate, pivoting plate and cylindrical changers. We offer general honing services to the public provided that our honing machine has a break in the normal production schedule for our barrel refurbishment service. We utilise several heat treatment and nitriding companies, and due to the volumes we process, we can negotiate better commercial terms. We can include your parts for nitriding in our batches and offer you better value. We service, repair and recondition extruder, injection moulder, shredder and granulator gearboxes as part of our regular business, but we are able to assist with any type of industrial gearbox. We have repaired and reconditioned calendar rolls, flock cutting machines, broken screws, broken barrels, damaged and worn gearboxes, sheet dies, film blowing dies, toggle systems, hydraulic cylinders, extruders, pumps, granulators, grinders, shredders, etc, to name but a few.
