Extrusion of engineering polymers such as Polycarbonate, Polyurethane and Nylon requires an in-depth understanding of special processing methods.

The combination of high processing temperatures and volatile polymers means that the entire extrusion operation must be under complete control at all times.

Boston Matthews has designed and developed extrusion lines specifically for the production or Plate or Rod. We understand the processing requirements, expected outputs and quality required to successfully extrude Plate or Rods.

A complete single-source solution.

Technology developed by Boston Matthews ensure the quality of Rod & Plate produced is void free with the highest quality surface finish – ready for trouble free post extrusion operations.

Energy costs are very important and so Boston Matthews incorporates the latest technology to maintain the highest quality of Rod or Plate production as well as ensuring the line is economical to run.

The SMART control system is colour touch-screen enables you to have total control over the entire extrusion process. Access to production data and security level setting places you in complete control over production and provides you with vital data.

Boston Matthews has over 50 years extrusion line design and manufacturing experience and has achieved many "firsts" during this time.

Boston Matthews are experienced with the polymers associated with the production of Rod & Plates to ensure the correct Screw Design and Die Head Technology is used to produce the highest quality at all times.

Integrated into the extrusion line is a powerful rod/plate saw to ensure the final rod or plate is accurately cut to the desired length ready for the post extrusion operations. Swarf removal systems and rod/plate handling systems are also available.
