Extrusion profiles help in the manufacturing of items in large quantities. The process involves melting of the raw material (in this case plastic) and then putting into the mould, to get the desired shape. It is mainly useful for creating two dimensions products on length, providing the third dimension. Items such as tubes, fence, deck railing, window frames, and weather stripping are manufactured in this process.

Few industries would use the products as it is, while the other would modify them to make more complicated parts. Complex assemblies such as punching, moulding, and other modern techniques are adopted to get the desired shape to perform the specific function. The extruded products can provide a cost-effective solution for product fabrication and assembly needs.

Advanced manufacturing in the field is a lot more than choosing different colours to push them through several basic shapes. The customised process can combine properties of advanced materials to enable specific performance for plastic tubing and other parts. These complex profiles are made to fit a wide range of applications for commercial, industrial, food processing, filtration, automotive, military and medical industries.

The actual process starts by feeding plastic material (in the form of pellets, granules, flakes or powder) into the barrel of the extruder. The heaters arranged would help in gradually melting the raw material, so that it will take a liquid form. The molten polymer is then poured into a metallic dye, to give the desired shape. Every step of this process is critical, as it decides the properties of the final product.

An experienced professional would be able to handle critical issues like controlling temperature, speed, force, tension, time factor to create a consistent product, with ease. It may look simple, but involves a lot of sensitive points that can make or break the product.
