Hello. I am a sophomore at Penn College in the Plastics Program here. Our extrusion class requires us to get in a group and build an extrusion line for any extruded product. Our product is a windshield wiper blade. We are going to use a TPE called santoprene as our material. We just need some serious help with where to look for extruders and downstream equipment. Our teacher said to use any resource we can find. If any of you can help it would be very very very much appreciated. Thanks

Are you looking to get the equipment, or just source the equipment needed to produce the item without actually getting it?

I am just looking to source the equipment. We need to price things out for our whole line. I spent a good part of this morning looking around for the extruder we would like to use for our product. My search came up in vain. I checked out killion's page and there was pretty much nothing useful there. Since my knowledge of what is out there is really really limited I just need to know what suppliers would be interested to help us out since we really aren't going to be buying anything. Thanks for your help.
