Custom profile and pipe extrusion can include solid and hollow forms. These products can range from tubing and pipe to window frames, door glides, strips and moldings.
In the plastics extrusion process, raw thermoplastic material (resin) is fed into the barrel of an extruder. The rotating screw pushes the resin down a heated barrel to a set temperature, and then flows through a reinforced screen to remove any contaminants
The resin passes through a die which gives the final product its profile or shape and is maintained throughout the cooling process. The extruded material is cooled as it moves to the end of the line where it is spooled or cut into final pieces, all in line.
