Hot Extrusion Saw Conveyor
The saw is designed to operate in conjunction with the extrusion puller and will cut during the press dead cycle in single puller mode and cut on the fly in dual puller mode.
Extrusion Systems
Extrusion Pullers
The Belco Extrusion Puller keeps constant tension on the profiles during the extrusion cycle. This allows for better control of extrusion lengths, reduces twisting and scrap, and helps contain the extrusions on the run-out table.
Puller overview
Precisely controlled
- Pulling force
- Speed
- Position
- Length
The puller utilizes a state-of-the-art variable speed drive control package which operates through a cable or belt drive to repeatedly and precisely control pulling force, speed, position and length. The dual puller is designed to operate with a moveable hot saw to allow cutting extrusions on the weld mark during the extrusion cycle for reduced press cycle times, minimal scrap generation and high productivity.
Benefits
- Belco Extrusion Pullers give you better control of extrusion lengths.
- Either Single Puller or Dual Puller Design
- They reduce twisting and turning.
- Our pullers keep extrusions on the runout table for minimal scrap and surface damage.
- The dual system consists of two pullers working together on separate tracks. Dual pullers can achieve higher rates of production and minimal scrap when servicing today’s high speed, short cycle presses.
- They are programmed for precise, accurate operation to match your production demands.
Extrusion puller FAQs
What does an extrusion puller do?
It keeps constant tension on the profiles during the extrusion cycle. That gives better control of extrusion lengths, reduces twisting and scrap, and helps contain the extrusions on the run-out table.
What is the difference between a single and a dual puller?
A dual system is two pullers working together on separate tracks. Dual pullers can achieve higher rates of production and minimal scrap when servicing high speed, short cycle presses.
How is pulling force controlled?
Through a variable speed drive control package operating via a cable or belt drive, which repeatedly and precisely controls pulling force, speed, position and length.
Can the line cut on the weld mark during the extrusion cycle?
Yes. The dual puller is designed to operate with a moveable hot saw so extrusions can be cut on the weld mark during the extrusion cycle, reducing press cycle times and scrap.
