METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR COOLING PROFILES AFTER EXTRUSION

摘要

A method and equipment for controlled cooling of extruded metal profiles (3), in particular extruded aluminium profiles, include an extrusion press (1) with a die (2) and one after the die (2) provided quench (5). The extruded profile (3) is, during the dead cycle interval, i.e. the internal between two extrusion cycles, subjected to controlled sequential cooling in the area between the quench (5) and die (2). The method of cooling is accomplished by means of a separate, special quench (4) that is provided between the press (2) and the quench (5).
