COMPLETE EXTRUSION. ENGINEERED AS ONE.
Press Zone

Controlled power at the core of the extrusion line.

ALUFORMIX press solutions cover 800 MT to 4,000 MT in terms of press tonnage capacity, and 4″ to 10″ in terms of billet diameter — the 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 inch variants. The press zone converts a prepared billet into a profile under controlled force, speed, temperature and tooling conditions. ALUFORMIX engineers the press, billet-loading sequence, lubrication, hydraulics, controls and surrounding interfaces as one coordinated production area.

Automatic / Robotic Billet Loader

Receives the prepared billet, verifies its position and places it into the press-loading sequence with repeatable movement. The loader is engineered around billet dimensions, press configuration, available space and required cycle time.

  • Heat-resistant gripping and support concept
  • Position and sequence verification
  • PLC-controlled motion and safety interlocks
  • Synchronization with billet positioner and press

Billet Lubrication System

Applies the selected lubricant according to the agreed extrusion process. The system can be integrated into the loading sequence with controlled application, extraction and operator-protection measures.

  • Application method selected with the customer
  • Adjustable process parameters
  • Interlocked operation
  • Accessible cleaning and maintenance arrangement

Hydraulic Extrusion Presses — 800 to 4,000 MT (4″ to 10″ billet)

ALUFORMIX hydraulic extrusion press solutions are configured for the required billet range, profile program, alloy mix and production target. Structural, hydraulic, mechanical and control systems are developed as one press package, subject to detailed engineering.

  • Press tonnage capacity: 800 MT to 4,000 MT
  • Billet diameter capacity: 4″ to 10″ (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 inch variants)
  • Front-loading or project-specific configuration
  • Engineered structural and forged critical components as applicable
  • Hydraulic power and energy-management concept sized for the duty
  • Closed-loop motion, recipe and process-data capability
  • Safety system and guarded operating zones

Press Controls & Operator Interface

Coordinates the press and connected equipment through PLC logic, drives, instrumentation and operator screens designed for clear operation, diagnostics and future connectivity.

  • Cycle, recipe, alarm and event management
  • Maintenance and diagnostic screens
  • SCADA or plant-system integration where required

Press-Side Die Handling

Supports controlled movement and preparation of dies near the press, including transport, heating, change-assistance and storage interfaces according to the customer’s tooling practice.

  • Manual, assisted or automation-ready handling
  • Integration with die ovens
  • Safe transfer routes

Press selection begins with the production program

Press definition considers billet size, alloys, profile envelope, extrusion ratio, die program, target output, utilities, floor space, automation and future products.
