The NY operations underwent an extensive upgrade to the 9” extrusion press. It included a new Kevlar belt handling system, upgraded head & tail stretchers, press saw, double puller with movable saw, log oven, upgraded hydraulics on the container, new PLC controls, and added an air & water quench system. The upgrade resulted in reduced cycle time, reduction in press scrap, as well as improved overall efficiency and quality.
