Successful project completion at HAI Extrusion in Soest

extrutec was commissioned with a special task by long-time customer Hai Extrusion Germany. The project comprised the delivery of a ten-chamber die oven system for 12" dies with fully automatic feeding by a service shuttle, which can be moved in three axes. The limited space available and the high weight of the extrusion dies posed a challenging task for the extrutec project team. Thanks to creative solutions and good cooperation with the customer, the installation was able to go into operation as planned. extrutec's ability to respond individually to customer requirements was a major benefit in this project.

extrutec company trip 2022

extrutec company trip 2022

Last month we had the opportunity of taking the entire extrutec team including subsidiary TCT Induktionstechnik and extrutec North America on a company trip to our location in Iserlohn.

Besides the visit of the Dortmund stadium, a historical coal mine and the factory tour of TCT, the highlight of the trip was the visit to the factory of Hammerer Soest. Here all employees could see various extrutec machines in operation. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customer Hammerer once again for this great opportunity and the hospitality.

For the coming year, a joint excursion to Lake Constance to the extrutec headquarters in Moos is planned.

extrutec Eco Shower Unit (ESU) hast now complete patent protection for the United Sates!

The very hard to obtain US-patent protection for the ESU System has now been officially approved by the authorities of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. There was no doubt about the unique characteristic of the energy saving system developed by extrutec.

The ESU System converts the residual energy contained in the exhaust gas of the heating system into hot water and then applies it to the bars located in the feed conveyor table. The latest version of the ESU features a heat exchanger developed and manufactured by extrutec.  Within the latest real time monitoring, the Eco Shower Unit saved over 18% of gas consumption.

Visit us at Alu Düsseldorf 2022!

"Green: the new heat for extrusion".

This is extrutec's motto at this year's Düsseldorf aluminium trade fair from September 27 to 29. It refers to the latest heating concept from extrutec. It is an electrically heated high convection oven (EHKO) which can be operated with renewable energy and in the patented inline design completely climate neutral. The extrutec subsidiaries TCT Induktionstechnik and extrutec North America Inc. will also be represented at the booth.

You will find us in hall 6E booth 41.

Technical speech at Hydro in Oslo on the subject of profile cooling

Today extrutec was invited to the headquarters of Norsk Hydro in Oslo. Our CEO Uwe Günter held a presentation with afterwords discussion about advanced profile cooling. Considering physical aspects like the Leidefrost effect profile cooling is one of the most difficult processes to control in the chain of extrusion.
New solutions like the patented Alpha Flex Technology from extrutec help to meet the constantly increasing requirements for extruded profiles.

 

Continuous training of the extrutec service technicians and supervisors

In addition to new installations, extrutec also offers a wide range of service and maintenance support. This includes the mandatory annual inspection of the gas equipment for our ovens at the customer side. All extrutec service technicians are regularly trained and certified for these assignments.

It is also possible to convert extrutec gas ovens from operation with natural gas to operation with LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas). Against the background of the current gas shortage in Europe, this is an important aspect in order to be able to maintain production.

T. Stauch (Responsible for Service and Spare Parts): "It is important to us to be available for our customers around the clock. We see ourselves as partners and want to build a long-term relationship with our customers. Therefore, the good support in the area of service is a decisive point for the long-term cooperation and an essential argument for the purchase of an extrutec equipment."
