PTFE rods, also known as Teflon rods, are made from Polytetrafluoroethylene, a high-performance plastic known for its non-stick properties and resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. They are often used in applications where a sliding action of parts is needed, such as bearings, seals, and electrical insulation.
PTFE rods are manufactured through a process called extrusion. The process involves the use of a PTFE Teflon rod extruder. This piece of equipment carries out multiple functions like mold design, heating, and automatic feeding. It's operated via a PLC intelligent control system that ensures continuous extrusion and sintering, self-adjusting concentricity, and automatic feeding. The feeding equipment can be used for 6-8 hours without manual operation.
