At the end of each extrusion cycle, the dummy block must separate cleanly from the butt, without removing the section from the die, and without breaking the mandrel cone in the dummy block.
Aluminum sticking can be a serious problem, especially when using the softer alloys, and with larger billets. It is essential to lubricate both the billet and the dummy block to make separation easier.
To help instantly and cleanly separate the dummy block from the billet at the end of each extrusion cycle, without pulling extruded section from the die. ALU-JECT is a non-pigmented, water based lubricant designed for billet and coating and is environmentally safe.
FUNCTION
- A carefully measured amount of lubricant is applied on the billet face
- Lubricant can be purchased as a liquid, tablet or solid soap bar
- Improved safety, as there is no fire risk
- No graphite or oil contamination
DESCRIPTION
- ALU-JECT is a non-pigmented, water based lubricant designed for billet end coating. It is formulated using organometallic compounds which apply a boundary film to prevent welding of the billet to the dummy block, providing excellent release characteristics.
- ALU-JECT is capable of wetting temperatures as high as 1112 0F (600 0C).
PRECAUTIONS
ALU-JECT should be stored in a cool dry place. The product can withstand freezing, however it should not be allowed to have more than one freeze/thaw cycle. Partially used containers should be re-sealed to prevent evaporation and contamination.
