Direct metal extrusion press conversion - moves container to main or drive piston and extrusion die is replaced by closure piece

摘要

To convert a direct working metal extrusion press into an indirect working operation, the container for the bars is disconnected from its drive and the extrusion die is removed and replaced by a closure piece. The container is mounted to the main piston and/or to the driving piston of the extrusion press. ADVANTAGE - Nearly all direct extrusion presses can be converted to indirect working economically, rapidly and simply.
