Sheet Extrusion

Flat sheet extrusion is a manufacturing technology used to produce a flat sheet of material for thermoforming applications. The process starts with plastic resin, which is melted and pushed through a flat die. After this, it passes through chilled rolls in a calendering process that gives the sheet its final thickness and appearance.
