Containers for Better Extrusion

Castool's QR control system positions the heating elements immediately adjacent to the liner, where heat is required. The goal is to control the temperature of the liner, so that the alloy exits a preheated die uniformly at or close to optimum temperature and maximum speed.

- Reduces energy costs, increases productivity, improves die performance

Castool is a global leader in Containers

The advantage of considering the process of extrusion as a total system has already been well established and it is practiced by most world-class extruders. The ultimate extrusion system would therefore have all major components designed and produced to work together and be provided by a single supplier.

Castool is the only global supplier to the extrusion industry that can provide both a complete line of products, and trained experienced technicians to help the extruder to get maximum productivity from his system. This service is available wherever Castool products are sold.

Single sourcing and undivided responsibility distance a complete Castool tooling package from all others. A typical Castool single press tooling package includes all necessary spares.

 

Containers Product Specifications

The time taken to respond to a demand for heat is in direct proportion to the distance between the temperature sensor and the heat source. With at least four temperature control zones, vertical as well as horizontal, Castool's Quick Response container has temperature sensors located near the liner. Double thermocouples monitor both liner and heater temperatures simultaneously. Cartridge heaters are positioned close to the sensors, instead of in the centre of the mass of the mantle, as in most conventional containers. Their purpose is to heat the liner, not the mantle, and thus to maintain a consistent temperature in the die.

The Castool QR Container reduces energy costs, increases productivity.
