Plastic Extrusion Machine Market Prophesied to Grow at a Faster Pace

Overview of the extrusion process

The extrusion process is used to form profiles with fixed cross sections. This process is used in formation of thermoplastics and plastics of various shapes by pressing the materials through a die with desired cross section and shape. This manufacturing process is used to transform high volume plastic materials such as the PVC into continuous profiles with definite shapes and cross sections. Products of plastic extrusion include PVC pipes, wire insulations, plastic sheets, window frames, plastic films, deck railings, tubes, weather-stripping lines and more. The plastic materials are subjected to shear and compressive stresses to give them complex shapes and designs without any imperfections or cracks.

Components and parts formed using the extrusion process are characterized by excellent surface finish. Basically, the machine comprises of die and screw drives, heaters, and barrel and screw. The two conditions applied by this extruder machine are heat and pressure. The shearing action of the extruder screw helps to facilitate the mixing of the plastic compound.

In the global market today, plastic extrusion process plays a huge role in the manufacture of products such as the belt conveyors and plastic tires. The major raw material utilized by the extrusion machine in the manufacturing process include a wide range of plastics; natural plastic, thermoplastic and thermoplastic plastic. Also, the plastic extrusion machines provide the profiles with cross section and shapes such as the hollow sections, the triangular and square shapes, the rectangles, and the cords on the profiles.

Global market dynamics
