Weseralu from Minden, a member of the Exlabesa Group, has ordered a profile cooling system from extrutec for its 35MN-10" press line. The profile cooling system is equipped with the latest extrutec patent, the Alpha Flex Technology. This is a system that makes it possible to realize cooling rates with water mist in the range of α = 500 to 1,500 W/°Km2.

The installation of the profile cooling is scheduled for December 2021.

extrutec has received an order for two inline furnaces from Aluform of Tychy in Poland, a company belonging to Grupa Kęty. The two furnaces will be installed on the 16MN-7" and 44MN-12" press lines.

The two Ovens ordered are the Inline Oven 2.0 which can only be offered worldwide by extutec. The revised 2.0 version of the inline furnace world patent includes considerable further developments and is no longer comparable with the previous version.

Sales Manager Ulrich Bucher expects many more orders for the improved inline oven before the end of this year. Bucher: "The technically significantly improved version of the inline oven sets completely new standards in terms of process reliability and energy efficiency. Despite the Corona crisis, we are receiving a large number of inquiries worldwide for this extrutec product.

The installation of the two inline furnaces is scheduled for December 2021.

extrutec continues its positive course despite the ongoing Corona crisis and is rewarded with the largest order in the company's history by HAI Ranshofen.

Uwe Günter: "We have not sat back at any time during this severe and ongoing Corona crisis and have, among other things, invested more in product development. This positive attitude has now been rewarded. I would like to thank the entire extrutec team and our customers for their confidence in extrutec products.

The order from Hammerer Aluminium Industries in Ranshofen includes the supply of all key components upstream and downstream of the extrusion press for the new 60MN-12" press line.

A gas-fired rapid heating system with integrated Eco Shower Unit (ESU) and connected hot log saw will be supplied. This is complemented by a "stand-alone" induction furnace with a clamping system for frictionless billet handling in the I-furnace axis. The entire billet transport is done with a 2-axis overhead manipulator. A taper quench is also included in the scope of delivery.

In addition, extrutec also supplies a total of 5 gas-heated hot ageing ofens with side-opening doors and two service shuttles. Also included in the scope of delivery is an electrically heated overhead die heating furnace and an electrically heated 1-chamber chest furnace for preheating printing plates.

In addition, a new vertical magazine with crane track and crane bridge was ordered. The vertical magazine is designed for a maximum number of 180 bars.

Furthermore, a profile cooling unit equipped with the latest patented development, Alpha Flex Technology, will be supplied.

The installation of the complete line will start as early as May 2022.
