A PVC extruder is a machine used in the manufacturing process of PVC products. It is designed to melt and shape PVC (polyvinyl chloride) raw materials into a desired shape and size.
The extruder consists of several major components, including a hopper for feeding the raw materials, a screw conveyor that moves the material through the machine, and a heating element that melts the PVC.
As the PVC is melted and compressed by the screw, it is forced through a die, which determines the final shape of the product. The extrusion process can create a wide range of PVC products, such as pipes, tubes, profiles, sheets, and more.
PVC extruders can vary in size and complexity depending on the specific manufacturing needs of the company. Some extruders can be operated manually, while others are fully automated for high-volume production.
