塑料挤出机起源于18世纪，英格兰的JoseghBramah于1795年制造的用于制造无缝铅管的手动活塞式压出机被认为是世界上第一台挤出机。从那时开始，在19世纪前50年内，挤出机基本上只应用于铅管的生产、通心粉和其它食品的加工、制砖及陶瓷工业。

Plastic extrusion machine originated in eighteenth Century, England's JoseghBramah in 1795 for the manufacture of manual piston extruder manufacturing seamless plumbing is believed to be the world's first extruder. Since then, in nineteenth Century 50 years ago, basically only used in plumbing extruder production, macaroni and other food processing, brick and ceramic industry.

作为一种制造方法的发展过程中，第1次有明确记载的是R.Brooman在1845年申请的用挤出机生产固特波胶电线的专利。固特波公司的H.Bewlgy随后对该挤出机进行了改进，并于1851年将它用于包覆在Dover和Calais公司之间的第1根海底电缆的铜线上。在此后的25年内，挤出方法13渐重要，并且逐渐由电动操纵的挤出机迅速替代了以往的手动挤出机。初期机械操纵的柱塞式挤出机生产了成千上万公里的绝缘电线和电缆，从而牢固地确立了挤出法用于生产电缆的地位。早期生产电缆的挤出机无论是手动的、机械的或者液压的，全都是柱塞式的。在这种生产过程中，柱塞将热的古塔波胶压入到通有铜导线口模中，古塔波胶从口模中挤出，这样就包覆在铜导线上形成绝缘层。

The development process as a kind of manufacturing method, first have a clear record is R.Brooman in 1845 for the production of solid glue extruder with top wire patent. Solid Bora H.Bewlgy then modified the extruder, and in 1851 it will be used for first submarine cables coated between Dover and Calais, the copper wire. In the next 25 years, the extrusion method 13 is becoming more important, and the electric extruder is gradually replacing the previous manual extruder. In the early days, the mechanical operated plunger extruder made thousands of kilometers of insulated wires and cables, and firmly established the position of extrusion method for producing cables. The extruders of early production cables are both manual, mechanical, or hydraulic, all of which are plunger type. In this process, Guta will heat the rubber piston pressure wave into generic copper wire die, extrusion die from Guta wave glue, such as coated insulating layer is formed on the copper wire.
