Pipe, Profile & Tubing: Overview

Overview

Our pipe, profile and tubing extruders and systems are engineered to help you manufacture tight tolerance products with minimal downtime. Extruders are available in a range of L/D ratios in both air-cooled and water-cooled variants, and combine technology with functional design to process just about any thermoplastic material. Systems can be customized to meet the processing rates and requirements for any pipe, profile or tubing process. Our systems are used for applications in the adhesives and sealants, agriculture, automotive, construction, wood composite, packaging, medical, mining/oil field, and custom profile and tubing markets.
