WPC Extruder: Importers Guide
The WPC extruder makes it possible to produce WPC granules (raw materials), planks, door boards, foam boards, and other WPC profiles.
In this short guide, you’ll get to learn about:
– The WPC extruder function and parts
– Types of WPC production lines
– What’s unique about Benk’s WPC extruders
– How to order a WPC extruder
Chapter 1: What is a WPC extruder?
The main role of the WPC extruder is to produce molten WPC polymer by heating & melting solid WPC raw material.
You then shape, mold and cool the melt into different products.
1.1. WPC raw material
A wood-plastic composite results when a polymer is combined with plant material to form a homogeneous product that’s superior to its constituents in terms of strength, workability, chemical, and physical properties, etc.
Thermoplastics used for WPC composites include PVC, PE, PP, and PLA. They are mixed with rice husks, vegetable waste, coconut shells, wood flour, almond shells, peanut hulls, bamboo, etc.
During the WPC profile extrusion process, other ingredients are added to the product’s formula including mineral fillers, pigments, lubricants, plasticizers, stabilizers, etc.
You can actually tell the color of the pigment used by looking at the finished product. Fillers add bulk, reduce the manufacturing costs, and also enhance the product’s physical properties. Lubricants & stabilizers, on the other hand, act as processing aids.
WPC advantages:
The composite’s main advantage is that it combines the best properties found in wood and plastic polymers. More precisely: The aesthetic properties of wood. And the functionality and desired properties of plastics such as fire retardation, water-proof, insect-proof, etc.
WPC as a sustainable, green and energy-saving material
Manufacturing WPC products is fast, less-energy & capital intensive compared to making wood products. Not only that, WPC products are fully recyclable at the end of their useful life; you can recycle them into WPC pellets then made into new products. They also reuse waste products such as wood dust reducing the demand on depleted forest reserves.
Where can you get WPC raw materials?
You can choose to buy ready-made WPC granules from other manufacturers. Or you can produce WPC granules for extrusion at your own factory. If you choose the latter option, you’ll require:
- Wood powder miller production line
- WPC composite pellets extrusion line
If you’ll produce Wood-PVC products, you’ll also need a high-speed mixer for blending wood flour, PVC powder, and other additives prior to feeding them in the WPC extruder machine.
1.2. Parts of a WPC extruder
The WPC extruder happens to be the most important part of any WPC extrusion line. It consists of electrical and mechanical components. For this article, we’ll just highlight the main parts, but you can read more here.
– Screw: The rotating cylindrical screw is housed inside the barrel. It’s the main working part responsible for conveying, mixing, shear refining, melting, metering/pumping and homogenization
– Barrel: Houses the screw and together they convey the polymer forward. See, the melting polymer will stick to the barrel’s walls. As the screw rotates, it scopes the melting material and slips it forward.

– Heaters: Lining the barrel are electric ceramic heaters that supply heat utilized for melting the plastic polymer. Temperature control is very essential as high temperatures (above 220°C) might cause the wood raw material to degrade and burn.
– Shaping Die: It’s a shaping orifice mounted at the extruder’s head. The die design depends on the product’s shape. There are separate dies for WPC planks, door boards, profiles, etc.
– Vacuum system: It’s used where the raw material fed into the extruder has a high moisture content. The system exhausts any steam along with fumes produced by the melting polymer.
1.3. Twin-screw extruder for WPC profiles
Plastic extruders usually have one to two screws inside the barrel. Exclusively for WPC extrusion, we use the twin-screw extruder.
Working with many customers, we have noticed that they tend to look at the extruder’s production capacity. Two models have become popular:
Twin screws in extruder’s extruders
- SJSZ65/132 conical double screw WPC extruder with a production capacity of 300kg/h
- The SJSZ80/156 production capacity of 450kg/h
1.4. Popular WPC extruder production lines
WPC might be relatively new in the marketplace, but wood-composite products are gaining acceptance from consumers. They are similar in appearance to wood products, but they are also water-proof, stronger, less-hazardous, long-lasting, and insect & mildew proof unlike products such as plywood, MDF boards, etc.
Once you get any of our WPC extruder models, you just have to change the downstream equipment (die, calibration mould, pulling machine, and cutter) to produce different products.
Benk offers a number of WPC extrusion lines including:
- Wood-PVC profiles
The raw material used here includes wood and PVC powder. From this, we have the:
- WPC door production line
Produces 600-800 mm WPC door boards that are later joined with other WPC profiles to produce complete doors. This production utilizes the SJSZ80/156 conical twin-screw extruder.
- Wood-PVC vinyl laminate production line
WPC plastic composite flooring
The line produces WPC plastic composite flooring planks used for indoor applications. The core layer is made from WPC material. It’s sandwiched between other layers including the backing layer, vinyl (printed layer), and the UV special surface treatment layer.
The WPC laminate planks have a click-lock functionality that minimized the need for glue. Our WPC extruders paired with the right die & mould will produce flooring of dimensions of 1218×147mm, 1218×180mm, and 1524×225mm.
- WPC wall panel production line
The WPC wall panel making machine produces panels from WPC material that are 300, 400, or 600mm in width. These panels are used for indoor wall decoration, and you can find out more about them here.
WPC wall panels
- Wood-PE profiles
Wood-PE profiles are composites of wood material + polyethylene (PE). Products made from wood + PE are geared towards outdoor applications. It’s because of the great properties of PE including its stability when exposed to UV for a long time, resistance to alkalis and acids, etc. In fact, it can be used outside for 50+ years.
Wood-PE composite decking
- PE WPC decking production line
The PE hollow decking production line is also a type of WPC extrusion machine. It produces hollow PE decking that resembles wooden planks down to their surface finishes, texture, and feel. They have dimensions of 40mm*25mm*2000mm. And are used for making patios, pavilions, outdoor walkways, decks, etc.
- PE-wood profile extrusion line
The PE-wood profile extrusion line makes WPC profiles used as substitutes to similar wood products. For instance, PE fences, pillars, frames, planter pots, park benches, etc.
Wood-PE fence
- Co-Extrusion WPC Production Line
This WPC extrusion line is also called the “new-style co-extrusion WPC profile production line.”
It was developed to solve the issue of wood-PE profiles getting chipped and damaged in the sun after long exposure.
The innovative material relies on two extruders co-extruding; the main extruder and side extruder. The inner layer consists of structural foam. It’s made when a foaming agent is used in the formula (foaming just makes the layer porous and lightweight).
The hard exterior layer is also called the crust and it protects the inner layer. We can supply the main WPC extruder and the side extruder together with the co-extrusion die.
New-style co-extruded WPC decking
- Wood-PVC foam
Wood-PVC foam products are made by mixing wood, PVC polymer resin, and other additives. But the formula contains a fair amount of foaming agents that make the products lighter in weight.
- WPC form board production line
WPC form boards have become popular replacements of MDF boards and plywood. You can use them as construction, kitchen cabinet, furniture, and deck boards.
Example of WPC foam boards
This WPC production line utilizes the SJSZ80/156 extruder for high production rates. The final boards are 5 to 50 mm thick with widths of 1220 to 2450mm. You can find out more here.
