About Used Extrusion Machinery
Meadoworks carries a wide selection of used plastic extruders and extrusion equipment for sale, including single-screw extruders, co-rotating twin-screw extruders, and counter-rotating twin-screw extruders. Whether you need a plastic extruder machine, plastic extrusion machine, extruder line, or complete extrusion line, our inventory covers film, sheet, pipe, profile, PVC extrusion, wire coating, and pelletizing applications. We stock plastic extruder machines from Davis-Standard, Reifenhauser, Battenfeld-Cincinnati, Welex, Sterling, Coperion, Leistritz, KraussMaffei Berstorff, and other respected extrusion machinery manufacturers. Find extruder machines ranging from laboratory-scale to high-output plastic extrusion lines, with L/D ratios and screw configurations for virtually any thermoplastic material. Our listings include downstream extrusion equipment such as cooling tanks, pullers, cutters, winders, and haul-offs. Every plastic extruder is documented with barrel diameter, L/D ratio, drive horsepower, and throughput specifications. Browse single screw extruders, twin screw extruders, sheet extrusion lines, film lines, pipe and profile extrusion lines, and compounding equipment below.

Used Plastic Extruders & Extrusion Machines for Every Application
Meadoworks stocks a comprehensive range of used plastic extruders, extruder machines, and extrusion equipment for pipe, film, sheet, profile, compounding, and pelletizing applications. Our inventory includes single screw extruders from Davis-Standard, American Kuhne, and NRM; co-rotating twin screw extruders from Coperion (Werner Pfleiderer), Leistritz, Berstorff, and Entek; as well as complete plastic extrusion lines with downstream equipment.
Whether you need a plastic extruder machine for PVC pipe extrusion, a blown film extruder for packaging production, a sheet extrusion line for thermoforming stock, or a pelletizing system for compounding operations, Meadoworks has the extrusion machinery to match your requirements. We carry pipe extrusion machines, film extrusion lines, sheet extruder machines, and plastic pelletizing equipment from all major manufacturers.
What to Consider When Buying a Used Extruder Machine
Buying a used plastic extruder or extrusion machine requires understanding your process requirements. Screw diameter and L/D ratio determine throughput and mixing capability โ common sizes range from 1.5" to 12"+ diameter with L/D ratios of 24:1 to 36:1. Single screw extruder machines 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.
For pipe extrusion, evaluate die head configuration, vacuum sizing tanks, spray cooling, and haul-off systems. For blown film extruders, check air ring design, IBC system, collapsing frame, and winder capabilities. For sheet extrusion machines, assess polishing stack roll diameter, gap control, and edge trim systems. Evaluate drive horsepower, gearbox condition (Lufkin, Koellmann, and other brands), barrel and screw wear, and heating/cooling zone configuration.
Why Buy Used Extrusion Equipment From Meadoworks
Meadoworks has over 50 years of experience in the plastics processing equipment market, including deep expertise in extrusion technology. We stock used plastic extruders, twin screw extruders, and complete extrusion lines from leading manufacturers including Davis-Standard, Coperion, Battenfeld-Cincinnati, Leistritz, and many others.
We source extrusion equipment and extruder machines from plant closures and line upgrades across North America, often securing late-model plastic extrusion machines at 40-60% below new pricing. Every listing includes detailed specifications, and we can arrange inspections at the equipment location. We ship plastic extrusion equipment worldwide and coordinate rigging with teams experienced in handling extrusion lines. Contact us at 800-323-0307.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between single-screw and twin-screw extruders?
Single-screw extruders are simpler and ideal for basic melting and conveying of most thermoplastics. Twin-screw extruders (co-rotating or counter-rotating) offer superior mixing and are essential for compounding, reactive extrusion, and processing difficult materials. Twin-screws cost more but provide better process control.
What brands of used extruders does Meadoworks stock?
We carry plastic extruders from Davis-Standard, Reifenhauser, Battenfeld-Cincinnati, Welex, Sterling, Coperion, Leistritz, KraussMaffei Berstorff, American Kuhne, and other extrusion machinery manufacturers. Our inventory includes plastic extruder machines for film, sheet, pipe, profile, wire coating, and pelletizing applications.
How much does a plastic extruder cost?
Used plastic extruder machine prices (extruder machine price) vary by size and type. Small single screw extruders (1.5-2.5" diameter): $10,000-$30,000. Medium extruders (3.5-4.5"): $25,000-$80,000. Large production extruders (6-8"+): $50,000-$200,000+. Twin screw extruder prices are higher: $30,000-$500,000+ depending on size and brand. Complete extrusion lines (extruder + downstream) cost more. Contact Meadoworks at 800-323-0307 for plastic extruder machine price quotes.
Do you sell complete extrusion lines or just extruders?
Both. We have standalone extruders and complete lines including dies, cooling systems, pullers, cutters, and winders. Complete lines offer turnkey solutions, while standalone extruders let you configure custom downstream equipment for your specific product.
