About Welex
Welex was founded in 1966 and built its reputation over decades as a specialist in plastics sheet extrusion equipment, originally based in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. In July 2013, Graham Engineering Corporation acquired Welex and integrated its manufacturing operations into Graham's York, Pennsylvania facility, where the brand continues to design and produce sheet extrusion systems under the Welex name.
The company's flagship product lines center on complete sheet extrusion systems built around single-screw extruders. The World Standard sheet line is a fully engineered turnkey system covering everything from the extruder hopper through the winder, offered in a range of sizes with outputs from 650 to 4,000 lb/hr and extruder L/D ratios from 24 to 40. The Evolution sheet extrusion system is optimized for thin-gauge sheeting, winding, and inline thermoforming, available in monolayer or coextrusion configurations with capacity for up to nine extruders. The Hercules system targets thick-gauge sheeting applications. Welex also developed the Converge CTS sheet line, which uses conical twin-screw technology for dryer-less PET and PLA sheet production.
Welex sheet extrusion lines and single-screw extruders serve a broad range of end markets. Key industries include food and consumer packaging, thermoforming, clamshell and barrier packaging, appliance manufacturing, spa and bath products, industrial sheet, geomembrane production, and photovoltaic sheet. Sheet lines process resins including PS, PET, PP, PE, HIPS, and ABS, making Welex equipment relevant across both rigid packaging and durable goods manufacturing.
Buyers seeking used Welex equipment are drawn to the brand's reputation for robust mechanical construction and long service life. Welex has historically maintained an extensive spare parts inventory, and the Graham Engineering organization continues to support legacy machines with technical assistance, parts, and upgrade packages. The wide installed base across North America means used Welex single-screw extruders and sheet extrusion lines surface regularly from plant upgrades and closures, offering processors proven performance at a fraction of new-equipment cost.
