Abstract

In this paper we represent a study reporting the numerical simulation of small-diameter pipes extrusion process. Polypropylene and low density polyethylene were chosen as plastics and a selected transverse head as a tool in the simulations. The aim of the study is to examine the distribution of temperature in the individual sections of the bagasse and tools, in order to optimize the parameters and process flow extrusion and validate the implementation tools, by simulating the flow of plastic by the head.
