Plastic Extrusion Machines We Build
Different materials and production goals need different extruder configurations. Pick your machine type by material form, screw structure, output target, melt stability, feeding method and downstream connection.
Single Screw
Single Screw Plastic Extruder
Common for pellet-based thermoplastic extrusion like PE, PP and ABS. A good fit when you need stable melting, consistent output, easy operation and reliable connection to pipe, sheet, tube or pelletizing downstream.
Conical Twin
Conical Twin Screw Extruder
Often configured for PVC powder, PVC pipe, PVC profile, PVC foam board and WPC/PVC. Suits you when temperature control, formulation compatibility, plasticizing stability and torque are the key requirements.
Parallel Twin
Parallel Twin Screw Extruder
Worth considering for higher-output PVC, WPC, compounding and material processing. Suits processes that need stronger mixing, degassing, torque capacity and stable running with filled or modified materials.
Co-extruder
Plastic Co-extruder
Adds color stripes, surface layers, functional layers or multi-layer structures to pipe, profile, sheet and tube lines. Configuration depends on layer ratio, material compatibility, output, installation space and sync with the main extruder.
Precision Tube
Precision Tube Extruder
Built for small-diameter tubing where melt stability, low pulsation, accurate temperature control and tight OD/ID tolerance matter more than peak output. Used for medical tubes, pneumatic tubes and instrument tubes.
Lab And Pilot

The Right Screw Depends On Your Job
Single screw and twin screw extruders are not better or worse in general, only better or worse for a specific material, formula, feeding form and final product. If you are not sure, send your material, output target and final application before you choose the machine type.
Match The Extruder To Your Application
Your final product decides more than the extruder model. It also shapes screw type, melt pressure, die connection, cooling method, line speed and downstream equipment. Use the guide below to find the right machine direction before we quote.
Not sure which direction fits your product? Send your final product, material and output target, and we help you check the right machine direction before you order.
Not Sure Which Application Fits?
Send your material, final product, target output and current equipment condition. We help you decide whether you need a core extruder, an upgraded main machine or a complete extrusion line.
Common Problems To Avoid
The wrong plastic extruder can hurt output, product quality, energy cost and line stability. Check these six common problems before you order.
Key Technical Specifications
An extruder should be specified by material, screw type, output target, melt stability and downstream connection. The same model can perform differently on PVC, PE, PP, ABS, WPC or recycled materials, so confirm each of these before you order.
Screw Diameter
Sets output range, material residence time and machine size. Pick it by material type, final product and downstream capacity, not just target kg/h.
L/D Ratio
Drives plasticizing, melting, mixing and melt stability. Different materials may need different screw length and structure for stable extrusion.
Screw Type
Single screw, conical twin, parallel twin and co-extruder suit different materials and processes. Match the screw type to material form, formula, filler ratio and final application.
Output Range
Discuss output by material and product. PE, PP, PVC, WPC, ABS and recycled material can each hit different stable output on the same extruder.
Motor And Gearbox
Motor power and gearbox torque should match material resistance, screw structure and output target. Higher motor power alone does not guarantee stable production.
Screw And Barrel Material
High-filler PVC, WPC, glass fiber and recycled plastics raise wear. Confirm screw and barrel material, surface treatment and spare parts before ordering.
Heating And Cooling
Temperature zones, heating method and cooling design affect melt stability, PVC processing, recycled material extrusion and long-run operation.
Feeding Method
Pellets, powder, flakes, regrind and film feed differently. Pick hopper, screw, force or compactor feeding by material form to keep output stable.
Venting And Degassing
Moisture and volatiles cause bubbles, black spots, surface defects or unstable pellets. Some materials need a vented barrel, vacuum degassing and filtration.
Control System
PLC, HMI, temperature control, pressure monitoring, alarms and voltage standard should match your factory operation and local electrical requirements.
Integration Dimensions
For replacement or upgrade projects, center height, flange connection, footprint, die connection and control interface should match your existing line.
Send Us Your Specs
Share your material, output target and downstream setup. We match every spec above to your project before quoting.
Replace Or Upgrade Your Existing Extruder
If your line is still usable but the main extruder is limiting output, melt stability or energy efficiency, a matched replacement extruder is often a better move than rebuilding the whole line. We review your pipe, profile, sheet, tube or pelletizing line and configure a new extruder to fit your current die, center height, downstream equipment, control system and production target.
Keep Your Line, Change The Machine
Match a new extruder to your current die, center height, controls and downstream capacity, so you lift output without replacing everything.
Scenario 01
Old Extruder Replacement
When the current machine runs unstable output, worn screw and barrel, high energy use or poor plasticizing, we configure a new extruder around your line layout, die connection, motor power, center height and production target.
Scenario 02
Output Upgrade
If your downstream still has capacity, the main extruder can be reviewed for higher output, better melt stability and improved feeding. Check it together with die pressure, cooling capacity, haul-off speed and cutting system.
Scenario 03
Co-extruder Addition
Add a co-extruder for color stripes, surface layers, functional layers or multi-layer extrusion. The configuration should match main extruder output, layer ratio, material compatibility, installation space and control synchronization.
Scenario 04
Line Integration Support
For upgrade projects, the new extruder must fit your existing line. Center height, flange size, machine footprint, electrical standard, control interface and downstream capacity should be confirmed before manufacturing.
Send Your Machine Details For An Upgrade Check
A replacement extruder should not be picked on model number alone. Send your current machine details and production problem, and we check whether you need a new main extruder, a screw and barrel upgrade, a co-extruder addition or a complete line solution.

Plastic Extrusion Machine FAQ
Answers to common technical questions before you choose a plastic extruder for your material, output target, existing line or new extrusion project.
What is the difference between a plastic extrusion machine and a complete extrusion line?
A plastic extrusion machine usually means the core extruder: screw, barrel, motor, gearbox, heating system and control cabinet. A complete extrusion line is the extruder plus die, cooling, calibration, haul-off, cutting, winding, pelletizing or other downstream equipment. If you already have downstream equipment, you may only need a matched extruder. For a new production project, a complete line is usually more suitable.
How do I choose between single screw and twin screw extruder?
Single screw extruders are common for PE, PP, ABS and pellet-based thermoplastic extrusion. Twin screw extruders suit PVC powder, WPC, high-filler materials, compounding or applications that need stronger mixing and better formulation control. The final choice should be based on material form, formula, filler ratio, output target and final product.
Can one extruder process PVC, PE and PP?
It is not safe to assume one extruder handles all materials well. PVC, PE and PP have different plasticizing behavior, temperature requirements and screw design needs. A machine may cover a limited material range if the screw, barrel, temperature control and cleaning process suit it, but multi-material use should be reviewed before quotation.
How should extruder output be confirmed?
Output should be confirmed by material, screw design, die pressure, melt stability and downstream capacity. The same machine can hit different stable output on PVC, PE, PP, ABS, WPC or recycled materials. Motor power alone does not prove production capacity.
Can I replace only the old extruder instead of changing the full line?
Yes, if your die, cooling, haul-off, cutting, winding or pelletizing equipment still meets the production requirement. Before selecting a replacement extruder, check center height, flange size, die connection, current output, target output, motor power, control interface and workshop layout.
When do I need a vented or degassing extruder?
A vented or degassing extruder may be needed when the material carries moisture, volatiles, printed film, recycled content or additives that cause bubbles, black spots, poor surface quality or unstable pellets. The need for vacuum degassing depends on material condition and final product quality requirements.
Can the screw and barrel be customized for my material?
Yes. Screw and barrel design should be selected by material type, filler ratio, wear condition, plasticizing requirement and output target. High-filler PVC, WPC, glass fiber materials and recycled plastics may need wear-resistant screw and barrel options.
Can a co-extruder be added to my existing line?
A co-extruder can be added for color stripes, surface layers, functional layers or multi-layer structures. The configuration should match the main extruder output, layer ratio, material compatibility, die connection, installation space and control synchronization.
What affects the price of a plastic extrusion machine?
Price is affected by screw type, screw diameter, L/D ratio, motor and gearbox, screw and barrel material, heating and cooling system, feeding method, venting, screen changer, control system, customization level, spare parts and testing scope. A useful comparison is based on configuration, not machine name alone.
What should be checked before shipment?
Before shipment, the extruder can be checked for mechanical running, screw rotation, heating zones, motor operation, gearbox condition, electrical control, alarm functions and a material trial if required. For upgrade projects, prepare voltage standard, spare parts, documents and line integration details too.
