Profiles may consist of an individual material or multiple products. Single material profiles make use of one extruder while multiple material profiles require more than one extruder to feed materials right into a central die. These procedures can utilize solitary twin-screw or screw extruders. One screw machines are focused on pelletized applications or materials requiring less accurate mixing. Twin-screw extruders are often focused on powdered materials or where more intensive mixing is required. These extruders can be of a number of sizes from several pounds per hour of outcome up to a lot of money per hour output according to the application.<br><br>Co-Extrusion <br>Secondary extruders are called ��co-extruders�� and will also be many different sizes but normally fall toward small end of the spectrum and are normally smaller compared to the key processing extruders. The real number of co-extruders used is limited only by the space in the processing line. Some processes can cheat by utilizing the same co-extruder for multiple program requirements (as long as the materials required is identical the co-extruder can be utilized for more than one location. (A good example of this can be stripes externally of drinking straws. If the strips are the same color, one machine can be used for all the strips).

Dies are attached either to the main extruder with the co-extruders connecting into it directly, or the die is without question on a ground stand with extruders piped to it. The Die tooling is going to be oriented in one of two directions is relation to the primary extruder. The directions will be ��inline�� and ��crosshead��. The inline procedure utilizes a move that follows the extruder course and the die is definitely connected with flow along the way direction. The crosshead process utilizes a flow that is at an angle to the circulation of the extruder. For profile extrusion this would end up being at a ninety degree angle to the stream.
