Does an aluminum extruder need an air compressor?

In the aluminum extrusion process, compressed air is a key auxiliary medium to ensure efficient operation of equipment. Its application is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  1. Device action driven
    Through the pneumatic transmission system, it provides precise power for mechanical actions such as opening and closing of the extruder mold and conveying aluminum to ensure the continuous and stable forming process.

  2. Process environment maintenance
    Use the cleaning characteristics of compressed air to purge the surface of the extrusion mold to avoid adhesion of aluminum oxide scales or impurities and ensure the surface quality of the product.

  3. Cooling system support
    After the high-temperature extrusion process, compressed air is used to assist the heat dissipation device to accelerate aluminum shaping and control equipment temperature to improve production efficiency.

Granklin’s water-lubricated screw air compressor adopts an innovative compression structure of a single screw and a star wheel. It uses water as the natural lubricating medium to provide stable air pressure while avoiding the risk of contamination of aluminum from oil substances from the source. Through oil-free design, this equipment provides aluminum processing companies with compressed air solutions that meet clean production requirements, helping to improve product quality and process reliability.
