Extrusion and Compression Moulding

Specialist processes inside one manufacturing system.

PVC tube and profile extrusion operate alongside thermoset and Bakelite moulding for functional industrial applications.

Technical Scope

Extrusion and thermoset processing with application-specific control.

Profile geometry, material behaviour and downstream operations define each production route.

01

Profiles

PVC extrusion

PVC tube and profile extrusion supports repeatable functional routing applications.

Review manufacturing
02

Control

Profile geometry

Die condition, material preparation and profile geometry are controlled around the functional application.

Review tooling
Plastic tooling and moulding systems representing controlled production.
Tooling and process evidence frames the compression-moulding route.
03

Thermoset

Compression moulding

Thermoset processing supports heat-resistant and electrical-functional components.
