For many plastic pipe manufacturers, refurbishing an existing extruder can be an economical investment over purchasing an entirely new plastic pipe extruder machine.

Upgrading your extruder or upgrading new components to existing ones will help to improve production efficiency and quality here.

1.    Replacement of Old Parts

Any worn or worn-out part of your extruder contributes to its breaking down and working inconsistently.

This in turn can lead to delays in maintenance, off-spec products, and deliveries. This is why replacing old extruder parts is a sure way to upgrade your plastic extruder machine, and secure reliable operation without straining your budget. The gearbox, or electronic controls, as well as replacing a single screw or barrel, can add a decade or more of life to your existing extruder.

• Improving Production Capacity

When a company is experiencing growth and needs to increase production output, the main consideration should be to identify the “bottlenecks” of its current extrusion production line.

Plastic extrusion production lines consist of several machines working in tandem, and it is not uncommon for an extruder machine to be the bottleneck of the line. This means that all other upstream and downstream equipment and machines (feeders, coolers, inspection equipment, pullers, cutters, coilers, etc.) in the production line can operate at higher speeds.

3. Upgrading Your Extrusion Die Head

In many cases, simply upgrading your extrusion die head can yield the desired results. One example is upgrading to a multi-layer extrusion die head such as a 3-layer pipe extrusion cross head.

 This technology allows the use of scrap, recycled, and off-spec raw materials for the production of up to 80% of plastic pipe, and the use of more expensive virgin raw materials for 20% of the pipe plastics on the outer layers.

4. Integrating Smart Technologies

Becoming more connected and digitized offers many benefits for today’s plastic extrusion manufacturers. Often when you don’t need to change the operational characteristics of your machine but need to benefit from smart technologies, a good option is to integrate or retrofit a smart PLC into your existing machine. This way you can have more modern control over your existing machine, real-time operation monitoring, remote control options, or advanced connectivity options.
