ALUMINIUM EXTRUSION CONSULTANTS
Helping you improve performance
IMPROVING PROCESS CONTROL
Process control in extrusion requires control of billet and exit temperatures, extrusion speed and cooling rates together with an understanding of the metallurgy of the alloys. Our practical experience will help you improve the process control of your extrusion operation increasing productivity and quality
EXTRUSION PLANT LUBRICATION
Amcol lubrication and parting compounds with tailored dispensing systems help automate the extrusion process, minimise operator intervention and maximise productivity, safety and repeatability
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Temperature is the most important parameter in the extrusion process and Accurate Sensors Technologies (AST) have developed a range of non-contact infra-red pyrometers for measuring the billet temperature, the exit temperature and the cooling rate, and the die temperature
TECHNICAL AUDIT OF EXTRUSION PLANTS
We provide a full independent technical audit of your extrusion plant including:
- Bench marking performance against industry best practice
- Working practices at the press
- Process control,
- Equipment review
- Quality control,
- Productivity and recovery
- Maintenance
- Die correction
At the end of the audit you will receive a report including recommendations on improvements that can be made with minimum investment to improve the operation of your extrusion plant
