This page explains how Extrusion Press is classified within Basic Metal Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A hydraulic or mechanical press that forces heated aluminum billets through a die to create continuous profiles with specific cross-sectional shapes.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Extrusion Press
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Force | 500–5000 t | Determines maximum billet size and profile complexity. |
| Billet Diameter | 80–300 mm | Matches press capacity and profile cross-section. |
| Billet Length | 300–1200 mm | Affects cycle time and yield. |
| Max Profile Width | 50–600 mm | Limited by die size and press opening. |
| Max Profile Length | 6000–12000 mm | Depends on runout table and cooling system. |
| Extrusion Speed | 5–50 m/min | Higher speeds reduce cycle time but may affect surface quality. |
| Billet Temperature | 450–500 °C | Optimal for aluminum alloys; too low increases press load. |
| Die Temperature | 400–480 °C | Prevents premature cooling and die wear. |
| Main Motor Power | 90–400 kW | Drives hydraulic pumps; higher power for larger presses. |
| Cycle Time | 60–180 s | Includes billet loading, extrusion, and cutting. |
| Control Accuracy | ±0.5 mm | Positioning accuracy of the ram for consistent profile dimensions. |
| Machine Weight | 20–150 t | Indicates foundation requirements and transport logistics. |
| Footprint (L×W×H) | 8000×4000×3000–20000×8000×6000 mm | Varies with press size; check site clearance. |

Manufacturer profiles associated with Extrusion Press.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The nominal force typically ranges from 500 to 5,000 tons, depending on the press model. This determines the maximum billet size and profile complexity.
Billet temperature is typically 450–500°C, while die temperature is 400–480°C. These ranges are optimal for aluminum alloys; too low a temperature increases press load.
The control accuracy is typically ±0.5 mm, which ensures consistent profile dimensions. This is achieved through precise positioning of the ram.
The footprint ranges from 8000×4000×3000 mm to 20000×8000×6000 mm, and machine weight is 20–150 tons. Verify site clearance and foundation requirements with the supplier.
