First extrutec order about one Induction Heater in classical “Stand-Alone” configuration

Posted on | by extrutec

At the turn of the year extrutec successfully installed and commissioned its first induction heater in "stand-alone" design at HAI Extrusion S.R.L in Chisineu-Cris, Romania.

The system is fed by the latest IGBT converter technology with a variable frequency range of up to 80 Hz and includes the Power Focus Technology TM.

A technical description of the Power-Focus TechnologyTM can be found here.

The order was placed in summer 2020 and after a short installation and commissioning phase, the entire system could be handed over to 3-shift production on schedule at the beginning of 2021.

Posted on | by extrutec

With the commissioning of extrutec as supplier of a new, very powerful gas furnace system for the 50MN-12" press line by Step-G in Bitterfeld, a first order for the Bitterfeld site could be won.

In addition to a high power density, the plant is characterized by the required handling of very short billets of only 450mm length at diameter 305mm with the proven extrutec furnace drive system.

The installation of this plant will take place at the end of 2021.

As of today (21.01.2021) extrutec GmbH can be reached at its new address (Feldstraße 25, D-78345 Moos). The new location is only five kilometers away from the former company headquarters. Therefore, there will be hardly any changes for visitors traveling to and from the new location. By moving into the newly built company building, extrutec GmbH is taking another important step into the future. Special emphasis was placed on the energy efficiency of the new building.

U. Günter: "Just as with our products, we want to set a good example in energy efficiency with our new company building."

How to improve the process efficiency of a hybrid heating concept

The combination of an induction furnace and a gas-fired pre-heating furnace in the heating of billets is a very efficient concept. Especially for the flexible heating of non-ferrous metals it offers numerous process advantages. In the extrusion industry, particularly for aluminium, this concept is state of the art. The most efficient solution in this case is the so-called inline furnace which connects the two heating systems in a row in order to reduce the thermal losses. The following article describes how to improve the utilisation of waste heat as well as presents operating data and energy usage values.

Reporting in the International ALUMINIUM Journal

Posted on | by extrutec

On the occasion of the new corporate design, the November issue of the International ALUMINIUM Journal published an article of several pages, which presents the innovations at extrutec. However, the new public image played only a minor role, apart from the reporting on the Inline Oven 2.0 and the presentation of the extrutec Eco Show Unit (ESU). It reflects the internal development of extrutec GmbH.

 

The article is under the overall heading “We’ve made good use of the time”. This alludes to the many innovations that were developed during the Corona crisis.
