Solution

The process you're referring to is called "Extrusion" moulding. Here are the steps involved:

  1. The plastic material is first dried to remove any moisture content.

  2. The dried plastic material is then fed into a hopper. The hopper is a large container that holds the plastic material.

  3. The plastic material from the hopper is then fed into the barrel of the extruder. The barrel of the extruder is heated to a specific temperature that melts the plastic material.

  4. The melted plastic material is then forced through a die. The die is a shaped hole that gives the plastic its shape.
