Plastic pipe extrusion

Will you ever think about how the plastic pipes are made? They are made by a process known as plastic pipe extrusion. Extrusion is the process of pushing or pulling a material through some shape that can make it into something long and continuous. It's like trying to get toothpaste out of a tube! This is in the form of small plastic pellets for the plastic pipes. These are micro-plastic pellets, melted pieces of plastic trash. When melted, the pellets are a soft hot liquid and mouldable at this stage. 

Those melted plastic pellets go into a machine called an extruder. The melted plastic is pushed through a tube by the long screw within an extruder. This spinning action further assists in melting the pellets and pushes them forward. This matters as it makes sure the substance of plastic is not raw and then easily moulded. The melted plastic is subsequently passed through a die, which forms the extrudate into its final shape. This is the die that turns plastic into a tube.

Applications and Benefits of Plastic Pipe Extrusion

The hot melt plastic has been squeezed through the die here and formed into a tube now it needs to cool down Cool air or water is used to do this, which assists the plastic in setting and holding its form. Once it has cooled, the long tube of plastic is cut into smaller pieces to create various lengths of pipe. This whole process can be repeated multiple times in order to create long lengths of plastic pipes that are then used for a multitude of different applications. 

Sustainable development
