The parallel twin screws are armored as standard on the flights with a molybdenum welding layer patented by KraussMaffei. In addition, they are equipped with deep-nitrided barrels. The material used is a nitrided steel, in which a particularly high surface hardness is achieved in the barrel bores.
For particularly abrasive fillers and compounds with high filler contents, KraussMaffei offers specially protected tungsten carbide-armored screws paired with bimetallic barrels.
