What is the job of an Aluminum Extruder

Beginning

Aluminum Extrusion Worker is the main technical position in an aluminum extrusion plant. Its main responsibility is to take care of the operation, maintenance and safety management of the extrusion line. Specifically need to do the following:

1. operate extruders and auxiliary equipment.

Workers are required to extrude aluminum profiles using an extruder by observing the temperature and length of the aluminum bar stock as it enters the extruder. Successfully extrudes aluminum profiles that conform to the shape of the die by the cooperation of several people.

They are generally divided into four people, one to control the extruder and one to control the direction of discharge. The other two are responsible for placing the die and straightening the aluminum.

2. Straightening and Cutting Aluminum

After extruding the aluminum profile and waiting for some time to cool down. Extruders need to straighten and straighten the extruded aluminum. To make the straightness and length of the aluminum profile meet the quality requirements.

This requires two people to use the machine to stretch the aluminum profile from both ends. After this step, the aluminum profile will be cut. Goggles and helmets should be worn when using the cutting machine.

3. Maintenance of equipment

After finishing the aluminum extrusion work, the aluminum extruder. The production equipment needs to be tested and maintained. This is because after intense work, the equipment may suffer from the following conditions: oil penetration, breakage, heat dissipation problems, and so on. Workers also need to maintain the extrusion machines around the holidays. For example, adding protective covers and adding oil.

4. Safety management and team communication

When dealing with a difficult aluminum extrusion product. From design to manufacturing, it requires trust and communication from everyone. Aluminum extruders also need to communicate with surface treatment and construction workers when dealing with a new extrusion. Modifications to the aluminum extrusion can only be made if the construction strength of the product is understood. And they need to stay away from heating equipment and wear helmets during the manufacturing process.

In summary

As an aluminum extruder, you need to be very skilled in the manufacturing process of aluminum extrusion. It involves extruding, straightening, heat treating and cutting. You also need to know how to maintain the equipment and communicate with the team. If you want to become an extruder you need to learn more about aluminum manufacturing. Becoming a qualified aluminum extruder is not an easy task.
