Can’t Find the Extrusion Machine You Need?
Don’t see the right machine in our current inventory? Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll use our machinery network to help locate suitable used extrusion equipment.
Used Extrusion Equipment for Different Applications
Whether you’re producing pipe, film, sheet, profiles, or compounded materials, the extrusion line needs to match the process. Explore equipment by application and production requirements.
Single-Screw Extruders
A practical option for producing pipe, film, sheet, profiles, and other continuous plastic products across a range of materials and output requirements.
Twin-Screw Extruders
Often used when the process calls for more mixing, compounding, or the incorporation of fillers, additives, colorants, or reinforcement.
Sheet Extrusion Machines
Produce continuous plastic sheet for applications such as thermoforming, packaging, construction, and industrial products, with thickness and width varying by application.
Film Extrusion Machines
Used for blown or cast film production; line configuration depends on the resin, film dimensions, output, and intended application.
Pipe & Tubing Extrusion Machines
Produce continuous pipe and tubing with downstream cooling, sizing, haul-off, and cutting equipment matched to the product being manufactured.
Profile Extrusion Machines
Create continuous shapes such as trim, channels, seals, window components, and other profiles using dies designed for the finished product.
Compounding Extruders
Combine polymers with fillers, additives, colorants, or reinforcement to produce materials with specific properties for subsequent manufacturing processes.
Used Extrusion Machines by Brand
Start with the manufacturer you trust. Browse pre-owned extruders and downstream equipment by brand, then narrow down what fits your production needs.
Akron
Akron single-screw extruders handle pipe, profile, sheet, and compounding work. Look at screw diameter, L/D ratio, drive size, and the material you plan to run.
Coperion
Coperion’s ZSK twin-screw systems are built for compounding, mixing, and masterbatch production. Screw setup, barrel length, throughput, and processing history are worth checking.
Davis-Standard
Davis-Standard covers everything from individual extruders to blown film, cast film, and sheet lines. The existing line setup and downstream equipment can be just as important as the extruder itself.
Plastic Extrusion Machinery
Plastic Extrusion Machinery offers equipment across different extrusion applications. Start with the product you’re making, the material you’re running, and the output you need.
Prism (Engineering Division)
Prism equipment suits laboratory and pilot-scale work, including material testing, R&D, and small-batch compounding. Screw size and the materials being tested will shape the choice.
RDN Manufacturing
RDN supplies downstream equipment such as pullers, cutters, saws, and cooling tanks. These components can complete an existing pipe, tube, or profile extrusion line.
Rotex
Rotex screeners handle pellets, regrind, and other bulk materials before or after processing. Screen size, material characteristics, and throughput are the main points to consider.
The Bonnot Company
Bonnot equipment is used for plastics, ceramics, food, and other specialty materials. The material being processed, barrel size, and required output help determine the appropriate setup.
Thermo Scientific / HAAKE
HAAKE lab extruders and torque rheometers support polymer research, formulation, and quality control. Check the screw configuration, measurement functions, and available accessories.
Ultraflex
Ultraflex equipment serves a range of extrusion applications. The product, material, and expected output will determine the right configuration for your line.
Wayne
Wayne single-screw extruders are used for tubing, medical products, and specialty profiles, particularly on smaller lines. Screw diameter, material, and production volume are key considerations.
Welex
Welex systems are commonly associated with plastic sheet production for packaging and thermoforming. Sheet width, thickness, material, and output are the main specifications to review.
Find Extrusion Equipment for Your Material
Know the resin you’re running? Start there. Browse equipment based on material requirements and find extrusion systems suited to your product and production process.
Polyethylene (PE)
HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE resins run on single-screw extruders. Carefully inspect screw wear and barrel tolerances to ensure smooth processing and reliable output.
Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene excels in film, sheet, and pipe production. Verify that screw design and temperature zones suit your resin grade, especially high-melt-flow formulations.
PVC
Rigid PVC typically utilizes twin-screw extruders for powder dry-blend pipe and profile processing. Always evaluate screw condition and thermal history to prevent degradation.
ABS
Hygroscopic ABS requires thorough drying before processing to prevent defects. Ensure temperature controls and dryer setups meet your production line’s exact demands.
Engineering Plastics
Nylon, PC, and PET need high temperatures and strict moisture control. Check metallurgical specs and wear history, particularly when running abrasive glass-filled resins.
Recycled Plastics
Recycled feedstocks vary in moisture, melt flow, and purity. Prioritize inspecting degassing vent ports, melt filtration systems, and screw condition for stability.

FAQs
What types of used extrusion machines are available?
Common options include single-screw and twin-screw extruders, along with equipment for film, sheet, pipe, profile, and compounding applications. Used extrusion lines may also include dies, cooling tanks, haul-offs, pelletizers, and winding systems.
What is the difference between single-screw and twin-screw extrusion?
Single-screw extruders are commonly used for pipe, film, sheet, and profile production, while twin-screw extruders provide greater mixing for compounding, fillers, additives, and other applications requiring more intensive material processing.
Can a used extrusion machine process recycled plastic?
Yes. The right equipment depends on the type and condition of the recycled material. When evaluating a used machine, check the screw and barrel condition, filtration, venting, and its ability to handle variations in moisture, contamination, and melt flow.
Can Hunter Plastics source an extrusion machine that isn't currently listed?
Yes. If the machine you need isn’t in our current inventory, we can source suitable equipment through our global machinery network. We consider the material, product, output, screw size, L/D ratio, line configuration, and downstream requirements when searching for a machine.
Do you provide transportation or rigging for used extrusion equipment?
Yes. Extrusion lines often include long barrels, cooling systems, haul-offs, and other equipment that require specialized handling. We coordinate rigging and transportation based on your equipment configuration and facility requirements.
