Castool is a global leader in Dummy Block
The advantage of considering the process of extrusion as a total system has already been well established and it is practiced by most world-class extruders. The ultimate extrusion system would therefore have all major components designed and produced to work together and be provided by a single supplier.
Castool is the only global supplier to the extrusion industry that can provide both a complete line of products, and trained experienced technicians to help the extruder to get maximum productivity from his system. This service is available wherever Castool products are sold.
Single sourcing and undivided responsibility distance a complete Castool tooling package from all others. A typical Castool single press tooling package includes all necessary spares.
Dummy Block Product Specifications
The dummy block is a critical element of the aluminum extrusion press. It is a
component on which both quality and productivity depend. Castool's dummy block has evolved from a simple yet effective basic tool, to a high-tech device that incorporates the results of extensive research and development to perfect its function. With the Castool RR Replaceable Wear Ring Dummy Block, the lip of the shell is replaced by a high-strength steel expanding wear ring that is quickly and easily removed or restored. The speed and economy of replacing only the ring benefits the extruder immediately.
The Castool Marathon Dummy Block was originally developed for large volume single use extrusion at above normal cycle times and pressure. Designed and produced for the press on which it will be run, the Marathon block continues to set new records for longevity and economy.
Castool dummy blocks can help any extruder to achieve better extrusion and increased productivity.
