PMT offers 6 extrusion lines ranging from 2" for smaller cross sections and tubing, to 3.5″ for large cross sections and pipe, and up to 6” for rectangular parts. We specialize in custom, made-to-order and high-volume extruded plastics for markets including construction, fenestration and lawn & garden.
Our process knowledge and integration of manufacturing controls provide clients with high-quality products--fast.
Some of the materials we extrude include:
In the plastics extrusion process, raw thermoplastic material is fed into the barrel of an extruder. The rotating screw pushes the resin down a heated barrel to a set temperature, and then flows through a reinforced screen to remove any contaminants. The resin passes through a custom-made die, which gives the final product its profile or shape. This profile is maintained throughout the cooling process as the extruded material moves to the end of the line. The extrusion is then spooled or cut into final pieces, and sent to the next stage for finishing or specialty packaging.
