Thaj chaw muag tshuab extruder muaj qhov loj thiab tsawg sib txawv, thiab nws txiav nyob rau hauv chav pheej xwm ntawm nws lub neej siab, cov leej ntsiab lus kho tshuab, thiab cov khoom muaj. Ib qhov tshuab extruder tsawg kawm uas tsim nyob rau hauv laboratory yuav pib nyob rau hauv qhov $20,000 mus rau $50,000, thaum li ib qhov tshuab tseem ceeb uas muaj kev tso tshuab ntau feem ntau tuaj yeem dhau $1,000,000. Qhov chaw muag meej ntxiv tshaj plaws yog tshuab extruder tus leej twg, uas muaj qhov muag nyob rau hauv qhov loj ntawm lub screw, ratios L/D, thiab lub zog ntawm lub drive system. Ib qhov tshuab loj dua uas tsim rau kev tso tshuab ntau yuav muaj qhov muag tshaj plaws. Lub technology ntawm lub screw thiab barrel yog ib qhov ntxiv loj; ib qhov barrel thiab screw nitrided noj ze rau polyolefins yuav tsis muaj qhov muag tshaj ib qhov barrel bimetallic uas muaj lub screw siv los tshuab kom zoo rau kev tshuab cov duab uas muaj tshuaj rov qab lossis mineral. Qhov kev tso tshuab automation thiab qhov kev siv tshuab kho (mus rau hauv qhov PID controllers mus rau advanced PC-based SCADA systems uas muaj kev sau npe) yog ib qhov ntxiv loj rau qhov muag. Tseem tseeb, "extruder machine price" uas feem ntau muaj nyob rau hauv qhov muag tsuas yog rau qhov chaw tseem ceeb. Qhov muag tshwj xeeb ntawm qhov system yuav tsum tau muaj cov khoom ntxiv: cov tshuab downstream (haul-off, cutter, winder), cov tshuab upstream (dryers thiab loaders), thiab lub die uas tsim rau kev siv, uas tuaj yeem muaj qhov muag txog ob txhiab dollar. Thaum kawg, lub npe tshuaj tshaj tawm, kev pab kho tshuab, thiab kev muab services xws li installation thiab training kuj muaj kev txiav txim siab rau qhov muag, ua rau qhov tseeb rau cov neeg muag kom them kev su kom paub tag nrho qhov muag.
