The annual extrutec company trip took place at the beginning of June. This year's destination was the city of Bamberg in Franconia (Bavaria, Germany), which is known above all for its many family breweries. On the way, a visit to the Gutmann company was on the agenda. The extrutec systems in operation were demonstrated in detail by the Gutmann employees. Other highlights of the trip included a beer hike followed by a tour of the brewery and a guided tour of Ulm.
Today, the official opening of the HAI Group's latest extrusion line took place at the Ranshofen headquarters. The automotive line with a 60MN extrusion press is identical in construction to the P60, which went into operation last year. Extrutec was again awarded with the delivery of the heating system including standalone induction furnace with billet clamping systems and a profile cooling system with Alpha Flex technology for this project. A taper quench was also installed to supplement the heating system. An overhead die furnace and a heating furnace for heating press plates complete the extrutec scope of supply. We would like to thank Hammerer for the outstanding project cooperation and are delighted to be part of the HAIway.
60 years of excellence and innovation - We congratulate Norsk Hydro Offenburg on its 60th anniversary. One of the most energy-saving heating concepts from extrutec is in operation at the Offenburg site. The system combination of inline gas/induction furnace with water preheating represents the most efficient gas-based heating method and is known under the brand name eco heating process.
