Cross Head Extrusion
Another common variation is cross-head extrusion. In this process the flow of plastic is typically altered for permitting solid material, like fiberglass strands or copper wire to feed into the melt flow, and thus become part of the extrusion. Cross head extrusion is usually used when reinforcements are not able to pass through the machine's barrel and screw.

Cross Head Extrusion

Crossshead extrusion allows to coat plastic over steel cable, jacket multiple tubes to even wires. The basic equipment required includes an extruder fitted with suitably designed cross-head, a pay-off (or unwinding) system, a brake or tension control device, a water bath for cooling, a capstan or variable speed haul-off and an automatic wind-up or coiling system. There are generally two types of crosshead extrusion process. They are covered in the next section.

Types of Crosshead Extrusion
The cross-head extrusion along with the die arrangement can be any of the two types:

Plastic Extrusion Process
Aluminium Extrusion
Extrusion Based on Heat
Rubber Extrusion Process
