Thermoplastic granules are added into a hopper, these granules fall into a Archimedes Screw and are push towards a steel dye. The hydraulic ram at the base of the screw forces the screw forwards to make sure all of the plastic has been extruded. At the end of the process you are left with a shape of a continuous cross section e.g. a pipe.

How does an extrusion moulding machine function?
It has a (usually metal) die in the shape of the moulding's profile. Clay is forced through the die producing the required shape, and is cut to manageable lengths before being fired in a kiln to harden it.
What are the steps of extrusion moulding?
The process of Injection Moulding Cycle has the following 4 stages:- 1. Clamping- The multiple parts of the mould are securely clamped. 2. Injection- The raw plastic material, usually in the form of pellets, is fed into the machine. During this process, the pellets are melted by heat and pressure. The molten plastic is then injected into the mould by injection unit very quickly and the build-up of pressure packs and holds the material. 3. Cooling- The molten plastic that is inside the mould begins to cool as soon as it makes contact with the interior mould surfaces. As the plastic cools, it will solidify into the shape of the desired part. However, during cooling some shrinkage of the part may occur. The packing of material in the injection stage allows additional material to flow into the mould and reduce the amount of visible shrinkage. The mould can not be opened until the required cooling time has elapsed. 4. Ejection- After sufficient time has passed, the cooled part may be ejected from the mould. When the mould is opened, a mechanism is used to push the part out of the mould. Force must be applied to eject the part because during cooling the part shrinks and adheres to the mould.
What is rotational moulding?
its a type of moulding :)
What is a bed moulding?
A bed moulding is a moulding in architecture of a cornice immediately below the cornea.
What is short moulding?
The resulting moulding with incomplete filling of the plastic resin is called in practice as short moulding.
What is moulding in agriculture?
moulding in agriculture is where scrapped in heaped up around a small surface of a plant
What tells geologists how extrusion forms?
I am learning about this in my Science class, and when a geologist looks at an extrusion, they know it's an extrusion because it is Igneous rock, and an extrusion helps tell the reletive ages of the layers around it.
