Extrusion is the crux of the Aluminium profile process. During this process, aluminium billets are transformed into the desired profile. The combined action of heat and force within the extrusion press, dictate the dynamic flow of aluminium, through the die, producing a specified profile.   Following extrusion, the profiles are stretched, to obtain linear grain structure, then cut to the desired length.   The cut profiles are placed in an ageing oven to get the desired hardness, which is dependant on the cycle time. A final quality inspection is then carried out, to ensure the profiles have met customer requirements. Our plant is equipped with a 1650 ton press, producing a limitless range of profiles inside of a 165mm diameter die. Our range includes building systems, for both internal and external, Industrial, Furnishings, Transport and Mechanical industries. Quality specifications in ALUTEX meet both domestic (LIBNOR) and international (DIN & BS) standards.   In order to meet the highest quality finish, ALUTEX uses only the highest quality billet, from the international market.
