Overview Features Applications Overview Qualitative Analysis Developments Schedule (15’)
3
1. Almax & Alumat Group Since 1965 Sales for 14.000 K€/year 2. Butterfly Die Porthole Die Introduced in Italy in the 90’s Butterfly Die ™ Applied to 30% of new projects Overview
4
Effective architecture 1. Bigger feedings; 2. Better feeding of the exteriors and concealed parts; 3. Better support against mandrel flections. Consequences 1. More stability and less mandrel movements; 2. Less working pressure/temperature; 3. Higher extrusion speed; 4. Longer Die Life. Final Goal: Higher Press Productivity Features
