Downstream equipment must guide hot profiles through rapid cooling, controlled transfer, stretching, cutting and inspection without introducing avoidable distortion or surface damage. ALUFORMIX develops each downstream stage around the profile mix, alloy requirements, press output and plant-handling method.
Cools the profile immediately after extrusion using air, water mist, spray or a combined system selected according to alloy, profile geometry and required metallurgical response. Zoning and flow control can be configured to support different production recipes.
Supports the profile directly after the press and quench zone, maintaining a stable path into the puller and cooling-table sequence. Contact materials and support arrangement are selected for temperature and surface protection.
Guides the emerging profile through the run-out area and coordinates separation at the required point. Configurations can include a single puller, dual pullers and positioned or flying-saw arrangements.
Support profiles while heat is removed before stretching. Table length, transfer method, fan arrangement and accumulation strategy are configured around the profile range and required cooling time.
Move profiles between cooling, stretching, cutting and inspection areas while maintaining organized batches. The handling concept is selected to reduce unnecessary contact and preserve line flow.
Applies controlled tensile deformation to straighten profiles and relieve process-induced distortion. Clamping force, beam structure, stroke and control are selected according to profile dimensions and mechanical requirements.
Cuts cooled and stretched profiles to the required finished length. The saw system is designed around length tolerance, bundle or layer handling, profile dimensions and chip-control needs.
Presents cut profiles for visual, dimensional or sample-based inspection before stacking and ageing. The layout can support manual quality checks, measuring tools and controlled transfer to the next stage.
Send your profile range, press size, run-out length, alloy mix, quench requirement and available floor space for a downstream concept discussion.
