PLC Quench for Better Extrusion

A new PLC controlled cooling quench is now in the final stages of development and field trials, and will shortly be on the market. Each cooling zone will use the latest technology in nozzles, allowing air, mist, and flooding, from top, bottom or each side.

The extruder will be able to control the air pressure and water flow going to each manifold, and therefore the precise rate of cooling.

Castool is a global leader in PLC Quench

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.

Finally, a component that makes a real contribution to a better product, but is often overlooked, is the quench.

A new PLC controlled cooling quench is now in the final stages of development and field trials, and will shortly be on the market. Each cooling zone will use the latest technology in nozzles, allowing air, mist, and flooding, from top, bottom or each side, depending on the requirements of the profile. This will include shape, weight per foot, surface area, type of alloy, speed, and function. The function will determine the mechanical properties required.

The extruder will be able to control the air pressure and water flow going to each manifold, and therefore the precise rate of cooling.
