Cable & Wire Extrusion Lines
Extrusion is a process used to create objects with a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed through a die with the desired cross-section. The extrusion process can be done with the material hot or cold. In a subsequent stage, molten plastic is applied to the entire circumference of the wire, forcing it to adhere to the structure of the wire or cable. Extrusion is most commonly used for wire insulation and to form the outer sheath of the cable.
