Plastic extrusion is a continuous process in which a polymer is melted by an endless screw, pushed through a die to cool and cut to length. Auxiplast sells and services single-screw and twin-screw extruders in Quebec.

Plastic extruder Eastern Canada

Buying a plastic extruder in Eastern Canada or a plastics processing plant in Eastern Canada brings incredibly high production speeds. Plastic extrusion offers optimum yields compared with other methods of manufacturing plastic products in length. The addition of a plastic extrusion equipment can also contribute to a plastic recycling action plan.

Single-screw extruder

Plastic extrusion with a single-screw extruder uses a single screw to crush the plastic and shape it. Davis Standard offers high-quality single-screw extruders.

Twin-screw extruder

Unlike the single-screw extruder, the twin-screw extruder operates with two screws. This technology ensures optimum performance and exemplary speed. Auxiplast distributes Coperion.

Recycled plastic extrusion

Plastic extrusion can be part of a plastic recycling strategy using recycled plastic pellets. The extrusion process begins by feeding plastic pellets, which may come from recycled sources, into the extruder. The plastic pellets are then melted by the friction of a rotating screw. The melted plastic is then conveyed to a die, which is designed to give the material its specific shape.

Common uses of plastic extrusion:

→ Tubes, pipes

→ Door and window profiles

→ Electrical wire

→ Plastic bags and membranes

→ Compounding

→ Recycling

→ Plastic sheeting
