Visual Optimizer for Better Extrusion

The Castool Visual Optimizer is customized to fit each extruder's needs, but it will typically include ram speed, dead cycle time, billet temperature, container liner temperature, profile exit temperature, quench rate, and the status of each die being preheated.

Properly used, the Castool Visual Optimizer can be guaranteed to improve the productivity of any extrusion system.

The Visual Optimizer

 

 

Castool is a global leader in Visual Optimizer

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.

If the press operator can know the temperatures at several critical areas during the extrusion cycle, plus the ram speed, he can positively control the process while the press is running. He will then have a much better opportunity to operate considerably closer to optimum productivity. Castool makes this possible.

Recent advances in the technology of remote temperature measurement, plus the development of smart containers, has made it possible for Castool to develop the Visual Optimizer, the best tool yet devised to help the extruder improve his productivity. At the operator's post, above the press, a large back-lit monitor screen shows the actual temperature or speed at each point being monitored, plus the target temperature or speed from a previously calculated formula.

The Castool Visual Optimizer is customized to fit each extruder's needs, but it will typically include ram speed, dead cycle time, billet temperature, container liner temperature, profile exit temperature, quench rate, and the status of each die being preheated. Properly used, the Castool Visual Optimizer can be guaranteed to improve the productivity of any extrusion system.
