A sheet extrusion line produces flat plastic sheets for thermoforming, construction, packaging, automotive and industrial applications. Apex sheet extrusion systems provide stable thickness control, high output capacity and energy-efficient operation.

How can I find products that can be manufactured with Apex extrusion technology?

You can explore our Application Lines section, where extrusion solutions are organized according to the final products being manufactured. This section includes examples from medical, automotive, construction, furniture, electrical, packaging, sealing, tubing, sheet, profile, and many other industries. If you cannot find your specific product, our engineering team can evaluate your project and recommend the most suitable production solution.

Can Apex Extruder process recycled materials?

Yes, we can process recycled materials in technical profile and sheet extrusion applications. The suitability of recycled materials depends on the product requirements, material quality, and production objectives.

Can the same machine run different materials?

Yes, absolutely. In many cases, a single machine can process different materials. The most important consideration is whether the machine is intended for laboratory-scale flexibility or continuous industrial production.For industrial applications, materials are typically grouped according to their processing characteristics. Examples include:•⁠ ⁠TPE – PVC – TPV – EVA•⁠ ⁠PC – GPPS – HIPS – PMMA•⁠ ⁠PE – PP – PS – PETWith properly engineered screw geometry and process design, these material groups can achieve excellent processing performance on the same machine.

What production capacity do I need for my application?

This is a critical engineering decision, and we strongly recommend consulting our technical team. Our experienced engineers can determine the most suitable capacity based on your product, material, and production goals.For example, a rigid PA profile weighing 10 grams may achieve optimal production with a capacity of 5 kg/h, while a 10-gram soft TPE sealing profile may require a capacity of 60 kg/h. The correct answer depends on the product geometry, material characteristics, cooling requirements, and line speed.

How can I reduce production waste during extrusion?

Production waste can be significantly reduced when the correct raw material, properly designed production line, and well-trained operators are combined.In addition, our latest developments include advanced control and optimization systems that can help address specific production challenges and further reduce scrap rates.

What dimensional tolerances can be achieved?

This question should be evaluated based on several factors, including product geometry, material type, and production requirements.For dimensional tolerances, every application has its own balance between performance and investment cost. As a general reference, thin sheets can achieve tolerances as low as 25 microns, while thicker sheets may operate within tolerances of approximately 100 microns, depending on the product dimensions and process conditions.For length accuracy, we recommend reviewing our advanced cutting systems, which are designed to achieve highly precise length control.

Can Apex provide laboratory and pilot-scale extrusion systems?

Yes. We can support laboratory-scale and pilot-scale extrusion projects in cooperation with our R&D team, helping customers evaluate new products, materials, and production concepts before moving to full-scale manufacturing.

How long does a screw and barrel typically last?

Under continuous 24-hour industrial operation, our standard screw and barrel systems typically achieve a service life of at least eight years or more. For highly abrasive materials or applications requiring extended service life, we recommend our bimetallic or tungsten-coated screw and barrel solutions, which provide significantly improved wear resistance and durability.

How can I calculate the return on investment (ROI) of an extrusion line?
