Extrusion machines
Versatile plastic extrusion systems
Our twin and single screw extrusion machines are excellent at producing pipe, sheet, pellets, vinyl siding, window profiles, and profiles made of wood and natural fiber composite plastics.
Servo Hydraulic
Die heads
We have a large selection of the most popular styles and sizes in stock.
Our experienced team of engineers can also help you design unique dies specific to your plastic extrusion process.
We offer a Customer Stocking Program to ensure we have all your specific extrusion dies readily available whenever you need them.
Single Screw
Our single screw extruders contribute to increased value, reduced production costs, and versatility. Our S, SM, and SMT systems can handle applications such as sheet, profile, pipe, medical tubing, wire, and cable. They are available in single screw (S), single screw mobile (SM), single mobile tilt (SMT), and single grooved (SG) configurations.
Twin Screw
Our machines are capable of producing high torque while maintaining gentle plasticization. Effective heat transfer is also made possible by the low shear screw and high surface area designs. Our extruders are therefore perfect for materials that are sensitive to heat and shear. Milacron's exclusive screw and barrel coating technologies are designed to last longer, offer maximum wear protection, and can reduce life cycle costs.
