Extrusion Dies : Aluminium, Rubber & Plastic Extrusion Die Designs

One of the many important extrusion equipments that play a critical role in achieving the accurate shape of the extruded profile is an extrusion die. An extrusion die needs to be cut just perfectly so that it helps in producing the right profile shapes and design. The defining properties of a good die are that it should be able to deliver the desired extruded profile with a constant and average pace.

There are a lot of factors and challenges that need to be kept in mind while designed an extrusion die like managing the die swell and the die balance, mitigating the daily die wear and tear, etc.

Extrusion dies are basically of three types:

1. Aluminium Extrusion Die
2. Rubber Extrusion Die
3. Plastic Extrusion Die

All the three extrusion dies have different designs depending upon the specific requirements of the extrusion process. To understand the individual die designs in detail, read the complete article.
