Direct extrusion presses
Wide product mix and small batch sizes
For producers who manufacture a varied aluminum product mix and small batch sizes, direct extrusion is the preferred solution. Short-stroke, front-loader extrusion presses from SMS group are the perfect choice here. They feature FEM-optimized, pre-stressed press frames in the classic Schloemann lamellar tie rod/pressure box design. That makes the frames highly rigid and ensures both excellent profile quality and a long service life. As a supplement to the press itself, our robust linear billet loaders provide precise and optimized motion sequences during loading.
