At this year's "Aluexpo" trade fair in Istanbul, extrutec was again represented with a large team and a newly designed exhibition booth.

Numerous interested visitors from a very international audience came to the extrutec booth to find out about our technical innovations and solution concepts and to receive detailed advice.

The focus was on the very effective concepts for reducing energy consumption and decarbonising the various processes in an aluminium extrusion equipment.

Due to the high level of customer interest, many new contacts were made and upcoming projects were discussed, so that in retrospect, the trade fair can be considered a complete success.

The extrutec team is looking forward to the next Aluexpo event in Istanbul and is confident that the market will continue to grow.

The Turkish industrial group Ulusan has decided as a new customer from Turkey for a equipment combination from extrutec. A double order was placed for the equipment of a new ten- and fourteen-inch line. Ulusan deliberately chose the Eco Heating ProcessTM as well as one of the most advanced profile cooling systems with patented Alpha Flex Technology from extrutec. This new type of cooling closes the Alpha gap between air and water cooling and thus guarantees medium cooling rates with the lowest possible distortion through precise water application onto the extrusion profile.

The Turkish group Kalibre Aluminyum has chosen extrutec's Eco Heating Process (EHP^TM) and one of the most advanced profile cooling systems with patented Alpha Flex Technology. The system configuration, consisting of the Eco Shower Unit (ESU) exclusive to extrutec, and a gas/induction furnace with hot log saw, is characterized by the highest possible efficiency for gas-based heating systems. The Eco Shower Unit alone provides an 18% reduction in gas consumption. Downstream of the press, extrutec supplies a state-of-the-art profile cooling system with Alpha Flex Technology^TM.

The total order consists of two identical 10 inch system configurations for the main factory in Turkey and for a new production plant in Mexico.
