The Extruder Squeegee Channel is a professional-grade alloy channel designed to improve the performance, control, and water extraction capabilities of traditional window film installation squeegees. Engineered to work with existing Unger handles and compatible Blue Max squeegee blades, The Extruder provides increased blade stiffness, improved positioning, and a more effective working angle to help installers achieve cleaner, more consistent results.
Unlike conventional squeegee channels, The Extruder features a specially engineered design that extends farther over the surface of the squeegee blade, providing additional support and rigidity. This increased stiffness helps maintain consistent pressure across the blade, allowing installers to extract more water and installation solution with each pass while reducing unnecessary flexing during application.
The channel also incorporates an integrated lip that securely engages with the jaw of a compatible Unger handle, creating a positive connection between the handle, channel, and blade assembly. Its unique mounting configuration positions the blade at an improved angle relative to the handle, helping installers apply pressure more effectively when laying down window film and removing trapped moisture.
Available in 6-inch and 8-inch sizes, The Extruder provides professional installers with the flexibility to select the appropriate channel length for different installation requirements. Whether working on automotive glass or larger architectural window film applications, this innovative channel helps maximize squeegee performance while maintaining compatibility with familiar installation equipment.
Built for demanding professional use, The Extruder is an excellent upgrade for automotive window tint installers, residential and commercial window film professionals, and anyone seeking improved water extraction and greater control from their existing squeegee system.
