Price guide · updated 2026-10-19
Pultrusion machine price: what you are actually paying for.
Pultrusion machine price is set by eight things: pull force, puller type, heating, automation, dies, upstream equipment, electrical standard and services. This page explains each, shows what the public market lists, and tells you what to send for a firm quotation.
Cost drivers
Eight things that move the price
| Driver | Why it changes the price | How to keep it in check |
|---|---|---|
| Pull force and frame size | A 500 kN frame carries far more steel, larger cylinders and a bigger hydraulic unit than a 100 kN frame. | Size from the real profile, not the largest profile you might make one day. |
| Puller type | Caterpillar tracks cost more per kN than reciprocating clamps but avoid clamp marks on thin walls. | Match the puller to the profile family. |
| Heating zones and die table | More zones and a longer, wider die table add heaters, controllers and wiring. | Use the zone count your longest die needs. |
| Automation level | Servo pulling, recipe storage, pull-force curves, flying saw, automatic stacking. | Specify what your labor cost justifies. |
| Dies | Each profile needs its own die; large or multi-cavity dies can approach the cost of a small machine. | Launch with the few profiles that carry your first orders. |
| Upstream equipment | Creels, mat and veil stands, resin bath or injection box, preformers. | Reuse creels across lines where layout allows. |
| Electrical standard | 380 V 50 Hz is standard; 480 V 60 Hz, UL 508A panels and CE documentation add engineering and components. | State your plant supply on the first RFQ. |
| Services | Installation supervision, training days, spare-parts kit, extended warranty. | Price them as options so you can compare like for like. |

FAQ
Price questions
- Why is there no price list?
- Two machines with the same tonnage can differ by the die table, zone count, puller type, saw, electrical standard and services. A price without that scope is not comparable. The factory quotes per configuration and lists inclusions and exclusions.
- How fast can I get a quotation?
- With a drawing, target output and plant supply voltage, an initial quotation normally follows the engineer's questions. Missing information is the usual cause of delay.
- Are the marketplace prices above Henan Zhongsheng prices?
- No. They are third-party listings observed in October 2026, shown so buyers can see the spread in the market. They are not quotations and their scope is often unclear.
- What payment terms apply?
- Payments are tied to milestones such as drawing approval, FAT acceptance and shipment. The exact split is on the quotation. Avoid any supplier asking for most of the price before a FAT you can witness.
