Custom Single Screw Extrusion Lines for Pipe, Hose, Profile and TPE Band Production

A custom single screw extrusion line is a complete production system configured around one target product, not just a standalone extruder. It usually includes feeding, single screw extruder, die, calibration or cooling, haul-off, cutting or winding and control system. The word custom means the screw, die, cooling length, downstream speed and control logic are matched to your material, product size, quality requirement and factory conditions.

No. The product type may be standard, such as PPR pipe, dip tube, PVC braided hose or TPE band, but the actual line configuration is not a fixed catalog model. Even two buyers making the same product category may have different dimensions, materials, output expectations, factory voltage and tolerance requirements. That is why we quote by configuration.

Our single screw extrusion lines are designed for pellet or granule thermoplastics, including PVC compound, PP, PE, PC, PMMA, ABS, TPU and TPE. We do not use single screw lines for rigid PVC dry blend or powder processing. That usually requires a conical twin screw extrusion process.

The cost depends on product size, material, line structure, control system, downstream equipment and tooling requirements. A simple single-product line and a multi-layer reinforced hose line are not priced the same way. Jinxin provides configuration-based quotations, so you can see what is included in the line scope instead of receiving a low starting price that changes later.

Please send your product type, material, size range, wall thickness or drawing, target quality requirement, expected capacity range and factory voltage. For modified materials such as special TPE compounds, we may ask for sample pellets before production testing so the die and process can be checked with your actual material.

Yes, within the designed range of the line. Many pipe and hose lines can produce different sizes with different die tooling and process settings. However, a new die core and sleeve should be recalculated, not simply copied by proportional scaling from an old size. Product size, wall thickness, material flow, drawdown, cooling and haul-off speed all affect whether the new size can run stably.

We focus first on stable product size and forming quality. Maximum output is usually estimated from screw size, motor power, material behavior, cooling length and downstream stability. Running a full maximum-output test can waste large amounts of customer material. Once the product runs stably, an experienced operator can increase speed step by step within the practical production range.

Single screw extrusion is usually suitable for pre-compounded pellets or granules, such as PP, PE, PVC compound, PC, PMMA, TPU and TPE. Twin screw extrusion is used when the material needs intensive mixing, powder processing, compounding or reactive processing before forming. If you are not sure, send us your material information before quoting.

An extruder is the machine body: screw, barrel, motor and control. An extrusion line includes the extruder plus die, calibration, cooling, haul-off, cutting or winding, and control system. When we say custom single screw extrusion line, we mean the full production system, not just the extruder unit.

Single screw extrusion is widely used for pre-compounded pellet materials such as PP, PE, PVC compound, PC, PMMA, TPU and TPE. It offers stable output, straightforward screw design, lower maintenance cost and easier process control compared to twin screw systems, which are better suited for mixing, compounding or powder processing.
