PICARD Care

Your lamination plates directly affect the quality of every board you press. PICARD Care helps you keep them in top condition. We inspect your plates for flatness, thickness variation, and surface wear, so you can spot problems before they show up as defects in your product. When plates are worn or damaged, we can refurbish them to restore their performance or recommend replacement when that’s the better choice. With regular care, you get more consistent pressing results, longer plate life, and fewer surprises in production.

Barrel wear builds up gradually, and by the time it shows in your product quality, it has usually already cost you output. Our field service technicians come to your plant and measure your barrels right on the extruder line, with no disassembly and no lost production time. You get precise wear data on the spot, so you can plan repairs and order spare parts well in advance. When a barrel needs work, we repair it at our facility, whether that means refurbishing the base body or replacing a worn bushing, and return it performing like new.
