Applied by hundreds of users around the world in a wide range of applications, the plasticpreneur extruder is designed to experience and access the benefits of extrusion and intrusion moulding. Ideal for creating large objects and for material testing with little input quantities.
Recycling process
Flakes are fed into the hopper, pulled in by a motor driven extruder screw, melted, and extruded as a continuous stream into a mould or wrapped around objects.
Key advantages
- Developed in cooperation with the leading extruder manufacturer Erema, with 40+ years of expertise and innovation.
- Three-zone single screw extruder with matching filling geometry.
- Unique nozzle system for safe extrusion and intrusion processes.
- Custom designed, mainly EU-made, high quality components.

Distinctive features
Overpessure Nozzle Unit
The adjustable pressure relief valve and rupture disc allow a safe and unique way of extrusion and intrusion processes.
Stand-alone and movable
Ideal for an efficient workflow, safe process, and easy transport.
Integrated timer
The manual or automated timer allows a “stop and go” function to allow semi-automatic use and production.
Custom made industiral heating elementes and isolation
Stainless steel heating elements with integrated heating sensors and industrial isolation to reduce energy consumption and optimise the plastification process .
Quick release mechanism
Enables fast cycle times and a smooth process with a seamless way of attaching and changing moulds.
Safety features
Over temperature sensor and protection grill for avoiding overheating and safe filling of the material.
The built-in motor current measurement stops the machine immediately if there are any foreign materials (metal, wood) in the extruder barrel.
Distinctive features
1. Two heating areas and speed control
Two heating areas and the extruder screw speed can be controlled separately for an ideal plastification and extrusion process.
2. Large extruder output and pressure
Can create large objects with the given output and pressure compared to its size.
3. Designed for a wide range of materials
Compatible with flakes, granules, and pellets.
4. Custom designed and EU-made insulation and electronic cabinet
Custom made industrial insulation to reduce energy consumption and the plastification process as well as an electronic cabinet with top tier components and required safety cycles.
5. Cleaning, maintenance and repair frinedly design
For long lasting and sustainable use. For instance heating elements can be exchanged with a plug and play system within minutes.
6. Wooden frame
Lightweight, rigid and self-supporting structure with a unique design.
7. Custom designed shipping box
For safe shipping and transport to areas of application.
Getting started
Only a few steps are required to unpack and set up the machine.
You are ready to extrude first products within minutes. All of the necessary tools and safety gear for getting your machine operational are included.
The Machine is set up stand-alone in a well ventilated and dry room. It is easily movable with casters from one place to the other.
For an ideal workflow we suggest using 3-4 m² and a stable workbench to open and close the moulds.
Additionally we recommend using the plasticpreneur fume extractor to extract and filter the air in the working area
An accessory kit consisting of all needed parts to ensure safe and easy set up, as well as for maintenance are included.
This includes :
- Ring spanner, allen key, flat screwdriver, nozzle key
- Wall scraper, utility knife, side cutters
- Heat-protective gloves, safety glasses (filter mask not included)
Safety
To safely operate the machine heat-protective gloves, safety glasses, and a filter mask are needed. Additionally we recommend using the plasticpreneur fume extractor FEMK1.
If common PP or HDPE is heated at the right temperature and the fumes are extracted with the FEMK1, the air is under 10% of the maximum threshold/limit value.
Shipping
We ship worldwide - the shipping costs depend on the country. Please contact us.
The machine comes in tailor made packaging on a half pallet, or if ordered in a set together with other machines, via freight-forwarding on a pallet.
