Sales success

BWE Ltd launched the new ‘S’ range of Conform™ continuous extrusion machines at wire 2008 and found an immediate buyer in Smeta Donetski. The S315 is designed for small copper and aluminium applications such as rectangular wire (magnet wire) and sections, solid aluminium conductor (SAC) and aluminium round and multivoid tubes. Although Smeta is intending to use the system to extrude refrigeration tubes from 9.5mm diameter aluminium rod, the order includes additional tooling to facilitate the extrusion of other products.
