Aluminum extrusion is a manufacturing process in which pre-heated aluminum is forced through a die or mold to give it a continuous shape with a specific cross-section. This method allows for the creation of aluminum profiles with complex and uniform shapes, such as tubes, bars, frames, and other structures.
Loading Area
Stage of the process where the aluminum billet is prepared for extrusion.
Press Area
Stage of the process where the aluminum billet will be extruded to obtain a profile.
Handling
Stage where the material is transported and treated to improve its properties after extrusion.
Auxiliary Equipment
Equipment that adds value to the final product or preserves the lifespan of certain elements involved in the extrusion process.
Extrusiones Metálicas has presses in its four production plants—three in Mexico and one in Spain—allowing its production capacity to adapt to the demands of any project requiring immediate resolution:
Capacidad 1,925 Tons
Capacity 2,062 Tons
Capacity 1,650 Tons
The extrusion press outlet is the opening or die through which heated aluminum is forced to take on a specific shape during the extrusion process. It is a critical component of the extrusion machine, designed with the shape of the desired profile, which can range from simple round bars to complex shapes like window frames or rails.
It is made from high-strength steel and is configured to allow aluminum, when passing through it under high pressure, to adopt the intended design for the extruded profiles. These dies can vary in size, shape, and complexity, depending on the specific requirements of the final product.
