    5.1 Tube dies

    The main requirements for PVC pipe extrusion are uniform thickness all around the pipe, and temperature control to avoid overheating which can impair product quality.

    We are interested [6] in the manufacture of a 100 mm diameter, 5 mm thick tube, extruded at a rate of 300 kg/h on a counter-rotating twin-screw machine. The die is shown in figure
