Die Development
Developing an extrusion process is a complex and expensive engineering task. It incorporates numerous interacting phenomenon that are hard to predict with accuracy. Polymer flow physics is often sensitive to changes in temperature, pressure, speed, pull force, friction and unique properties of each type of material. Therefore, design of custom extrusion tooling heavily relies on knowledge of forces involved gained through decades of experience combined with a disciplined iterative design process: an initial die design must be modified incrementally and at great cost before a profile can be consistently extruded with good economy and to the exacting specifications demanded by our clients..
