Featured Plastic Profile Equipment
Extrusion Profile Lines are designed to make a continuous
length of plastic that can either be cut or wound. Typical profile
products include home siding, windows, plastic lumber and garden edging.
The engine or main force behind an extrusion line is the extruder; it heats the
plastics resin and forces it through the die. The profile die determines
what shape of product will be produced. If using recycled plastic or if
contamination is a concern then a screen changer can be placed in between the
extruder and die to filter out any impurities. After the die, the
product goes into a vacuum calibration tank to maintain its shape while it
cools. There may be a series of tanks after the die depending if
additional cooling is needed. The production speed is maintained by a
belt puller (haul-off) that grips the
product in a continuous manner. At the last stage the product will either
be cut and stacked by an upcut or down-cut traveling saw or wound on a winder
or coiler. Other components that can be integrated into a profile line
are inline printers, measuring gauges and embossers.
