Built for the job

We built our press specifically to push screws out of barrels, and barrel and feed liners out of their housings. We’ve pressed out some very stubborn parts over the years, so send yours to us when it won’t budge.

When pressing helps

Burnt material

Burnt material has built up and locked the screw in the barrel.

Foreign object

Something has got into the barrel and jammed the screw.

Incorrect alignment

The screw has seized because the barrel was out of alignment.

Barrel and feed liners

A worn liner needs pressing out of its housing before you can replace it.
