A round metal disc, known as an extruder die, with four large holes near the edge and multiple small, evenly spaced holes arranged in a square pattern in the center. The disc features a smooth, reflective surface.

Extrusion Dies

Bonnot Offers a Variety of Extrusion Dies in Various Sizes

OUR MOST COMMON IS THE MULTI-HOLE PLATE DIE.

DEPENDING ON THE DESIRED PELLET STRENGTH, SIZE, AND SHAPE, WE DESIGN THE DIE TO OPTIMIZE PROCESSING.

We also offer single profile dies which we design with a jacketed die holder for temperature control and replaceable inserts for cost effective profile changeover. Bonnot also manufactures a jacketed ‘Fishtail’ nozzle die with replaceable profile plates to create a uniform web of material. If you are in the need of a co-extruded profile, Bonnot Co-extrusion dies combined with two Bonnot extruders create consistent co-extruded products.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • WHAT IS AN EXTRUDER DIE PLATE?

    A die plate is a plate with many holes at the discharge end of the extruder. The auger pushes material through the holes to form strands or pellets. Bonnot designs the plate for the pellet strength, size and shape the customer needs.

  • WHAT TYPES OF EXTRUDER DIES DOES BONNOT MAKE?

    Bonnot makes multi-hole plate dies, single orifice (profile) dies, fishtail nozzle dies and co-extrusion dies. Single orifice and fishtail nozzle dies are available with a heating or cooling jacket. Multi-hole and co-extrusion dies are not offered with a jacket.

  • CAN A DIE SHAPE INCREASE PELLET SURFACE AREA?

    Yes. For applications where high surface area is essential, Bonnot offers trilobe, quad lobe and pentilobe die patterns. The right pattern depends on your material and on how the pellet will be used.

  • CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT DIE FOR MY BONNOT EXTRUDER?

    Yes. Dies are among the spare parts Bonnot supplies for the machines it has shipped. Contact the replacement parts team with your machine details to get a quote.

  • CAN I TEST A DIE WITH MY MATERIAL BEFORE I BUY?

    Yes. The Bonnot test facility offers free feasibility trials across its full range of die designs, covering different profiles and materials of construction. You send your material, and the test room runs it and reports the results.
