One of our shops expertise is producing Heads, Dies, and Noses.
Heads
There are four main types of Heads that we can produce.
Inline Head
The extruder is parallel to the flow of product. Only a core product can be produced. It is cheaper to make, be not as versatile.
Cross Head
The extruder is perpendicular to the product flow. This allows the product to flow through the head and be jacketed. This is the most common head for many applications (ie. Coating Cable, rope , and Outer Jacket of Hose)
Co-exhead
Same as cross head, except it allows an additional extruder to be hooked up to it to allow another material to be added. (ie. Pin stripping)
Tripple Head
Same idea as the Co-ex head, but allows two additional materials to be added. (ie. Two colour pin stripping)
Noses & Dies
Noses
Noses are used to produce a core product such as tubing. If you give us the size of tubing, we can make the nose to produce the desired core OD.
Dies
Dies are used to apply a jacket on various types of product. They can be used on hose, cable, or rope.
