I teach a one-day Intro to Extrusion seminar, and many of my participants are new to extrusion. Therefore, I explain the basic principles of screws for thermoplastics. That’s good for the newbies, but ...

Used for producing pasta, plastics, and more, extrusion is a widely used technique to combine and shape materials. Now, researchers report using twin-screw extrusion–where two solid reactants mix via ...

Improved characterization of twin-screw extrusion enables increasing use in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Twin-screw extrusion, a continuous mixing process, is gaining acceptance for producing ...

Extrusion machines force or pull unformed material into alignment guides and shaped dies to produce lengths of stock forms and cross-sectional shapes. They are used mainly in the plastics, metals, and ...

Extrusion is a process used for creating a product (an extrudate) by forcing a material through a die or an orifice to form a shape, or alternatively an extruder is used to produce semi-finished or ...

Guill Tool & Engineering has developed a reciprocal tubing die design. Unique features eliminate the need to weld or otherwise join sections with different profiles together. Traditional tip-and-die ...

The flooding in plastic-critical Texas reminded me that water-resistant plastic products—boats, tarps, bags of all kinds—are saving a lot of property and even lives, but in extrusion, as in Houston ...
