Extrusion Presses

Custom & Special-Purpose Extrusion Presses

Project-specific engineering can be developed around material behaviour, product geometry, production rate, quality targets, plant conditions and automation boundaries. Direct, indirect or double-action configurations may be combined according to the agreed project requirements.

Platform Overview

Custom and special-purpose extrusion presses are not a separate metal-flow method but a project engineering approach. The solution usually starts from direct, indirect or double-action platforms and is tailored to the material, product, output, quality target, plant conditions and auxiliary interfaces of a specific project. The focus is on defining clear boundaries and integrating mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, die and auxiliary systems into a coherent equipment plan.

Engineering Definition Process

  1. Clarify material, billet and product boundaries.
  2. Determine the forming method and key process window.
  3. Define equipment motion, tonnage, stroke and cycle.
  4. Clarify die, auxiliary equipment, utilities and line interfaces.
  5. Translate quality targets into verifiable technical and acceptance requirements.
  6. Define supply scope, exclusions, commissioning conditions and staged acceptance.

Typical Project Directions

  • Special materials or billet conditions that affect heating, handling or tooling design
  • Special section, dimension or forming path beyond standard platform configurations
  • Specific cycle, motion arrangement or space layout constraints
  • Interfaces with existing lines, utilities or auxiliary equipment
  • Operating rules, data requirements and project-specific control, monitoring and safety logic defined by the customer's plant

Main Engineering Characteristics

  • Define equipment boundaries based on material, product and acceptance targets
  • Evaluate mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, die and auxiliary systems as an integrated interface
  • Reduce boundary ambiguity in non-standard projects through early input and technical agreement
  • Adapt to plant space, existing equipment and production cycle within the agreed capability range

The specific supply scope, system interfaces and acceptance method should be confirmed item by item in the technical agreement.
