lubricator for Better Extrusion

Castool Tooling Systems has developed a unique process of application of liquid boron nitride to a preheated extrusion billet prior to loading into the press.

The process enables improved coverage compared to boron nitride powder application with much less overspray and lower consumable costs, with the additional benefit of cooling the rear of the billet prior to extrusion, thus enabling higher extrusion speeds.

Lubrication for Extruders

 

 

Castool is a global leader in lubricator

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.

At the end of each extrusion cycle, the dummy block must separate instantly and cleanly from the butt, without pulling the extruded section from the die, and without breaking the mandrel cone in the dummy block.

Castool's preferred lubricant is Boron Nitride powder. With a special spray gun, the powder is given a high voltage charge causing it to cling to the billet. The amount of lubricant can be very precisely measured, and overspray virtually eliminated.
