Extrusion Machinery

Meadoworks carries a wide selection of used extrusion equipment for sale, including single-screw extruders, co-rotating twin-screw extruders, and counter-rotating twin-screw extruders. Our inventory includes complete extrusion lines for film, sheet, pipe, profile, wire coating, and pelletizing applications. We stock equipment from Davis-Standard, Reifenhauser, Battenfeld, Welex, Sterling, Coperion, Leistritz, KraussMaffei Berstorff, and other respected manufacturers. Find extruders ranging from laboratory-scale to high-output production lines, with L/D ratios and screw configurations for virtually any thermoplastic material. Our listings include downstream equipment such as cooling tanks, pullers, cutters, winders, and haul-offs when available. Every extruder is documented with barrel diameter, L/D ratio, drive horsepower, and throughput specifications. Meadoworks ships extrusion equipment worldwide with experienced rigging partners.

Buying used extrusion equipment requires understanding your process requirements. Screw diameter and L/D ratio determine throughput and mixing capability — common sizes range from 1.5" to 12"+ diameter with L/D ratios of 24:1 to 36:1. Single-screw extruders handle most standard thermoplastic processing, while co-rotating twin-screw extruders are essential for compounding, reactive extrusion, and processing difficult materials like PVC and highly filled compounds.

Evaluate drive horsepower, gearbox condition, barrel and screw wear, and heating/cooling zone configuration. For complete extrusion lines, assess downstream equipment including cooling tanks, pullers, cutters, winders, and take-up systems — the line is only as productive as its weakest component. Check control system capabilities for recipe management, zone temperature PID control, and line speed synchronization.

Meadoworks has over 50 years of experience in the plastics equipment market, including deep expertise in extrusion technology. We stock single-screw extruders, twin-screw extruders, and complete extrusion lines from leading manufacturers. Our team can help you evaluate screw design compatibility, throughput capacity, and downstream equipment requirements for your specific application.

We source extrusion equipment from plant closures and line upgrades across North America, often securing late-model equipment at 40-60% below new pricing. Every listing includes detailed specifications, and we can arrange inspections at the equipment location. We ship worldwide and coordinate rigging with teams experienced in handling extrusion lines.
