Last week, extrutec was featured on Korean television. The KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) broadcast a report on aluminum extruder Almac. The focus was on the new 14" automotive line. This line meets the specific requirements of domestic car manufacturers. extrutec supplies the critical components of the automotive extrusion line, consisting of an in-line gas induction furnace with hot saw and upstream ESU (Energy Saving Unit), as well as a high-performance profile cooling system.
Industry 4.0, sustainable energy supply and electrification are the topics that will shape our future. In keeping with our motto ‘Green the new heat for extrusion’, we are happy to be participating for the first time in the Electrical Engineering Day of the HTWG Konstanz University of Applied Sciences - Technology, Business and Design Talent Fair in order to attract motivated and talented electrical engineers to our company.
The worldwide first electrically resistance-heated highspeed-convection oven (EHKO) in inline design for the continuous heating of aluminum logs is ready for delivery. The newly developed furnace type has been put into operation and intensively tested at extrutec's site in Menden over the last few weeks. The system configuration consists of an EHKO for base heating, an induction furnace arranged directly in line for tapering the billet and a downstream hot log saw. The induction furnace is manufactured in-house by extrutec subsidiary TCT Induktionstechnik. The tests carried out on the system once again confirm the calculated and simulated values such as heat transfer and the extremely high efficiency of 87%. The system will be put into operation in Finland in the next few weeks.
