Extrusion equipment is a type of machinery used to shape materials, typically plastics or metals, by forcing them through a die. This process involves heating the material until it becomes pliable and then pushing it through a specially designed opening to create a continuous profile, such as pipes, sheets, or films. The main components of extrusion equipment include the extruder, which consists of a hopper, barrel, and screw, and the die, which determines the final shape of the extruded product. This technology is widely used in various industries, including packaging, construction, and automotive manufacturing.
