1.2. INTRODUCTION TO EXTRUSION LINE The word Extrusion Line means machinery used in extrusion. Here, the word extrusion line is used for machine which is used in production of PVC pipe. Pipe extrusion is defined as a process of forcing the polymer melt through a shaping die (in this case: circular). The extruded from the die is sized, cooled and the formed pipe is pulled to the winder or a cut off device with the aid of haul off device. prior to this, the plastic material in the form of polymer granules is fed into the hopper, conveyed by a rotating screw through a long cylindrical barrel. This is subjected simultaneously to high temperature and pressure, forcing the melt through the die at a predetermined rate. 8EXTRUSION LINE  MACHIN USED …show more content…

The job of the extruder in the manufacturing of tube, hose and pipe, is deliver a homogeneous melt material, at a fixed and uniform rate, at a fixed head pressure, and a fixed melt temperature. It is much easier stated then accomplished. The performance requirement of the extruder are being successfully are when the desired outputs are being attended, with adequate resign melting and homogeneity, at a constant discharge pressure and melt temperature.

This vacuum chamber can be as short as 1 foot in length to as much as 6 feet in length. This negative-pressure environment causes the extruded product diameter to expand slightly and to make contact with a series or rings or a sleeve that is referred to as vacuum sizer tooling. There are different vacuum sizer tooling types, styles, and length for various product and materials. The vacuum sizer tooling allows the extruded product to be fixed at controlled outer diameter. The wall thickness of the product is then controlled and varied by the extruder output. A vacuum sizing tank also be often used as a free extrusion tank, but a free extrusion tank is always a free extrusion tank. Vacuum sizing tank for small tubing that can be adapted to or spray cooling. 17 immersionWithin the quench tanks, there is usually one of two types of extruded product cooling, one is immersion cooling, and the other is spray cooling. In immersion cooling the extruded product is held under water, completely immersion as it is cooled by the water media. Rollers or other holding methods are used to keep the tube product under the water surface. The extruded product will tend to float to the water surface
