Extrusion machinery is a type of industrial equipment used to shape materials by forcing them through a die. This process is commonly used for creating products from plastics, metals, and food. The machinery typically consists of a hopper, a screw or ram, a heating element, and a die, which together help to melt and mold the material into a desired shape. The extrusion process is efficient and allows for continuous production, making it ideal for manufacturing items like plastic pipes, aluminum profiles, and food products such as pasta. By adjusting the temperature and pressure, manufacturers can control the properties of the final product, ensuring it meets specific requirements.
