Both pultrusion and extrusion are designed to produce profiles, and use in-line equipment whose main components are the dies and the drawing bench.
Extrusion is the pushing of a material through a die, while pultrusion is the pulling of a resin-preimpregnated fibrous support through a die using a powerful traction bench (500 to 1,000 daN).
