CONTAINER
Containers are the most expensive tools in extrusion. The design, material and manufacture of the containers are therefore of special importance. The high stresses occurring in the containers are mainly deformation loads, thermal stresses and wear.
S+C takes all of these factors fully into account. We meet the high demands on “critical tools” with our special expertise.
In addition to material selection, the container design is of special importance. This is where the specialised knowledge of S+C comes into its own, because design is part of our daily business.
This applies similarly to complex temperature control as required for modern zone-heated and cooled containers. S+C technology is state of the art in terms of product and system expertise.
The following table shows the materials used for individual container components. This includes the materials for processing aluminium, copper and copper alloys.
