QUENCHING TABLE
Description
Located at the press exit, is responsible for cooling the profile with precise control to achieve the desired mechanical properties of the aluminum:
- Air quenching
- Air-water quenching
- Advanced “Variable Geometry” cooling technology for high-quality aluminium profiles
LEAD OUT TABLE
Description
PULLERS & SAWS
Description
It is responsible for pulling the newly extruded aluminum profile out of the quench and into the cooling tables for further cutting stages.
Types:
- Single puller & positioned saw
- Puller & Puller with flying saw
- Flying cutting saw & Two independent pullers
TABLES
Description
This set of tables is responsible for supporting the profiles during the cooling and stretching process.
• Great robustness with high quality steels
• Safe transport of profiles
• Simple maintenance
• Cooling system by means of axial fans, lower and upper ducts
STRETCHER
Description
PROFILES FINISHING SAW
Description
The finishing saw is a machine that cuts extruded profiles into predetermined lengths for the final processes.
• Double suction to create an environment free of dust and chips
GAUGE TABLE
Description
The profile stopper is a machine that adjusts the profile layer to the desired length for cutting with the profile saw.
Types:
- Terrestrial
- Aerial
INSPECTION TABLE
Description
AGEING FURNACE
Description
The Ageing Furnace reduces internal tensions in extruded profiles by heating them to 180-200°C for a set time. This tempering process preserves the aluminum’s microstructure, improving hardness and wear resistance.
- Longitudinal or transversal flow
- Electrical or gas heating
- Loading system by means of rollers or chains
