Extrusion systems FAQs

What does a turnkey extrusion system from Belco include?

A turnkey system is a total package built to the customer's specifications rather than a set of parts to integrate yourself. Customers who want one supplier accountable for the whole line, with quality products, service and on-time delivery, can take that route.

Can Belco supply a single piece of equipment instead of a complete line?

Yes. Belco supplies complete systems and individual pieces of equipment, and applies the same standards of product quality, service and on-time delivery either way.

Which parts of the extrusion line does Belco build?

Log and billet furnaces, hot log saws, die ovens, quench systems, extrusion pullers, hot extrusion saw conveyors, cooling tables, stretchers, saw infeed conveyors, finish saw and gauge tables, stacking systems, age ovens, and automatic die cleaning systems.

Where is Belco extrusion equipment made?

At Belco's plant in Belding, Michigan.
