$1MM to $2MM for the extruder(s) depending on type and specs.

$2MM to $4MM for the total installation, including extruders, in an existing building with enough power. Add millions for a building and bringing in power.

I am doing a senior chemical engineering design project. We need to move
about 10,000 lbs/hr of product through and extruder or extruders. Can you
suggest a good size and approximate cost of these extruders. I thought maybe
2 8" extruders could do the job. I have found a lot of information on
extruders on your websit, but prices are hard to get since we are not actually
purchasing one many vendors do not want to help. I would like to know just an
approximate price for such equipment or maybe a website that would contain
this information, because I have looked online for many hours and cannot find
much info on equipment prices. Thanks for your time, and I hope to hear from
you.

However, I recalled an article once showing who has what, and what output rates are, but for my memory to go that far back, I'd have to be reborn.

Maybe SPI could help you here.

You'd have to spec out the specific process though to get close to the money. I agree with the previous prices quoted from the preceding post though.
