What is the basic process of plastic extrusion?

Let us understand the process of plastic extrusions. Plastic extrusion is a continuous process in which thermoplastic feedstock material in an extruder is transformed into a molten viscous fluid using heat. This thermoplastic fluid is then forced through an opening where it is shaped and cooled into solid form these forms include bar and rod tubes and pipe or profiles such as angles and other cross sections.
 
Flat products such as sheet and plate, flexible film for bags and packaging, monofilament, and wiring insulation thermoplastic feedstock are fed to the feed barrel from the hopper which is vacuum fed.
As the feedstock enters the feed barrel it is driven forward by the rotation of the screw of the feedstock which plasticizes or melts as the rotating screw drags it forward this is referred to as drag flow. Drag flow causes the thermoplastic molecules to slide over each other creating frictional heat which melts the material.
