SMS Meer, part of Germany’s SMS group, has won a supply contract for a 75/80 MN aluminium extrusion press from Western Extrusions Corp, USA. Western Extrusions is a producer of extruded profiles for use in the construction sector, transport and industry, and is one of the largest manufacturers of aluminium seats for sports stadia. The Schloemann front-loading press has an extrusion force of 8,000t and a billet charge weight of up to 630kg, and is the largest machine to date of this kind that SMS Meer has built in North America. It will be used for the production of high-quality extruded aluminium profiles for the transport and automotive industry. The extrusion press will be built as a shortstroke, front-loading press. Front- loading presses have become established as the standard on the extrusion-press market. The advantages of the design are the compact, sturdy frame and the short cylinder strokes, with associated high productivity.

The machine ensures short idle times and high product quality from the centric loading of the aluminium billet inside the press (resulting in practically no air inclusions). The new extrusion press is scheduled to go into operation in spring 2010.
