- Plastics Extrusion | Plastics Technology
Extrusion is a continuous process through which parts of a fixed cross-sectional profile are made Material is fed through a hopper into an extruder, essentially a rotating screw surrounded by a heated barrel, where it is mixed, melted and pumped through a die The die gives the part its shape Types include film extrusion, sheet extrusion, pipe, profile and tubing extrusion
- Extrusion Conference 2025 Event Details | Plastics Technology
Extrusion#39;s general sessions cover best practices, troubleshooting and processing solutions that can help you run your operation and maximize the utilization of your existing assetsmdash;as efficiently as possible Extrusion professionals from the shop floor to the front office are represented at the Extrusion Conference Yoursquo;ll meet the entire global supply chain: manufacturing
- Film Extrusion | Plastics Technology
Film extrusion is divided into two subcategories: cast film (flat film) and blown film In cast film extrusion, hot plastic is extruded through a flat, slit die onto a polished chill roll where it is quenched, pulled to a second set of rolls to cool the other side, then wound In blown film extrusion, plastic is extruded into a cylindrical die, then inflated to form a bubble, which is cooled
- EXTRUSION: Orientation: The Good and the Bad | Plastics Technology
All extrusion processes experience molecular orientation due to the inherent strain applied to the long-chain molecules as the polymer is shaped and flows through the die
- Pipe, Profile and Tubing Extrusion | Plastics Technology
Pipe is formed when plastics is extruded through a round shaping die, cooled in a water bath, and either cut and coiled Used in manufacture of medical tubing; PVC pipe; HDPE pipe; siding; plastic decking; plastic fencing; window lineals
- Extrusion: Live and In Person | Plastics Technology
Since it launched in 2015, the Extrusion Conference has become the nexus point for plastics extrusion professionals to gather, connect and learn In the decade since its creation and, particularly after the pandemic, the rise of webinars has negatively impacted some live events Webinars have their
