Extrusion Line

Extrusion lines are all equipped with the most advanced technology in order to produce high-quality profile. We produce standard profiles, as well as general and special-purpose profiles for the automotive, advertising, furniture, heating, cooling, transportation and construction sectors.

Extrusion:
•    Materials with a small cross-section/length ratio is small, in other words, materials shaped with a length greater than their width are defined as a "profile."
•    The process for obtaining a profile by drawing the raw material through a mold under the application of force is called "extrusion."
•    Extrusion is also a cross-sectional reduction process.
•    The cross-section of an aluminum billet is converted into the aluminum profile's cross-section.
•    Thus, the closer the billet's cross-section is to the profile's cross-section, the easier the process is to perform.
•    This requires not only the design of profile molds but also the selection of the correct and suitable extruders.
•    Consequently, smaller billets and extruders with the appropriate power are required for the production of thinner and smaller profiles, while larger molds, billets and extruders are necessary for larger profiles.
•    The billets are heated up to 420-470 degrees Celsius during the extrusion process. The molds must be at least 450 degrees.
•    The temperature of the profiles is more than 500 degrees when they are extruded.
•    The profile is cooled, tensioning is applied and then they are cut to the desired length.
•    An artificial ageing process is used to ensure that the profiles exhibit the desired properties and they attain their required mechanical values.
•    The values of profile size tolerances are specified in various standards.
•    Production of sizes other than those specified in the standards is based upon an agreement between the manufacturer and the client.
•    However, it should be noted that producing profiles with smaller tolerances will lead to higher costs.
