Manufacturing via extrusion is a standard method of production across numerous industries from steel, to food, and even to plastics. Customized plastic tubing or parts can be economically produced to spec for a number of purposes in diverse industries. Breaking the manufacturing process down, raw plastics are loaded into a gravity hopper and fed into a machine that has a large screw down the middle and industrial heaters to melt the plastic. The plastic is then forced into a die in the shape desired. Sheets, tubing, films, or flats, plastic comes in a lot of different shapes, sizes, and types.
