Expanding on our series, we provide below basic wear guidelines to assist you in knowing when to rebuild or replace your feedscrew. You can monitor wear by taking advantage of borescoping services at least once a year. That service will indicate diametrical wear numbers that can be used to monitor wear and help avoid problems in the field.

The **low** number will cause a decrease in your output at a given rpm.  
The **medium** number indicates that performance should be monitored more closely with preparations to rebuild or replace the feedscrew.  
With the **high** number, we suggest you rebuild or replace the feedscrew.

**Please note: **The foregoing are guidelines and specific cases can vary

*For exact diameter of your feedscrew (new/not used), please reach out to your regional sales manager.
