Used NFM Single Screw Extruders for Sale

NFM/Welding Engineers, Inc. was founded in 1973 in Massillon, Ohio, growing from a precision machine shop into a globally recognized manufacturer of polymer processing and extrusion systems. Through a series of strategic acquisitions — including the purchase of Monsanto's extruder product line and, later, Welding Engineers, Inc. of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania — NFM steadily expanded its technology portfolio and its reach into both the plastics and rubber markets. The company continues to manufacture all equipment at its Massillon facility, maintaining an in-house apprenticeship program that has long underpinned its reputation for American-made craftsmanship.

NFM's core product lines span single-screw and twin-screw extruder designs, each custom-engineered to application requirements. The HSX Series covers single-screw plastic extruders in standard and vented configurations, available from 20 mm up to 250 mm in diameter, and is used for sheet and film production, profile extrusion, and recycling. The HRX Series addresses single-screw rubber extrusion in both Pin-Barrel and Smooth-Bore designs, while the Silcure Series targets silicone rubber processing. On the twin-screw side, the TEM Series offers co-rotating intermeshing technology licensed from Shibaura Machine (formerly Toshiba Machine) in sizes from 26 mm lab units to 240 mm production lines, and the WE Series provides counter-rotating non-intermeshing technology for devolatilization and post-reactor finishing.

NFM extruders serve a broad range of end markets. Plastics processors rely on HSX single-screw machines for sheet, film, and profile production across packaging, construction, and consumer goods. Rubber industry customers use HRX and Silcure equipment for tire and tread extrusion, automotive sealing systems, wire and cable insulation, hydraulic hose, and medical tubing. The TEM and WE twin-screw lines are widely used in polymer compounding, hot-melt adhesive production, synthetic rubber finishing, and reactive extrusion for specialty chemical manufacturers.

Buyers seeking used NFM single-screw extruders on the secondary market are drawn to the brand's well-documented build quality, with heavy-duty fabricated frames, bimetallic barrels, and wear-resistant screws that hold up through years of continuous production. NFM machines are custom-engineered to tight specifications, which means components are precisely made and replacement parts — including feedscrews, barrels, and gearboxes — are produced in-house and remain available long after original manufacture. The combination of robust construction, long service life, and ongoing OEM parts support makes used NFM extruders a cost-effective choice for processors looking to expand capacity without the lead times or capital outlay of new equipment.
