Extrusion is a process whereby profiles have been moulded. The extrusion procedure involves squeezing toothpaste from a tube. The toothpaste is a heated, cylindrical aluminium block also referred to as a billet whereas the toothpaste tube is your so-called instrument, the billet (pre-heated within an induction furnace into 450-500 degrees Celsius) is pushed through the tool/die, where the profile is attracted to the desired contour.
When the Aluminium Profile leaves the tool, it is cooled with water or air, after which the profiles are drawn while they are still "soft". This removes any tension build-up in the aluminium while the desired and correct profile dimensions are achieved. The Modules Aluminum Profile are then cut and afterwards given their final strength by being subjected either to heat and/or to cold hardening.
Around the world these Modular Pipe System are used for building Machine Frames, Machinery Guarding, Linear Motion Systems, Conveyor Systems, Industrial Safety Fences, Clean rooms, Workstations and Work Benches.
