Basically the die is a block of metal containing an internal flow channel that can be divided into three parts.
Pvc extrusion die design.
Extrusion process plastic profile extrusion is a molding method in which plastic resin is continuously melted pushed through a die with the desired cross section a profile and then pulled through a water bath until fully cooled.
The formed plastic can then be fabricated and either cut into multiple parts or wound as a single part.
Die design is basically a procedure where the internal die configuration is shaped to deliver polymer from the entrance to the exit with the same pressure drop.
That provides a balanced flow where all of the polymer is exiting at the same velocity and closely duplicates the shape of the die orifice.
Straight profile a temperature profile with all the same temperatures.
Sample pages christian hopmann walter michaeli extrusion dies for plastics and rubber design and engineering computations book isbn.
Die design for extrusion can be rather complicated since the size and shape of the extruded product varies from that of the die flow channel.
He has worked in the advanced technology group of bemis mfg.
A cold die will restrict flow where as a too hot die will affect dimensions.
