Heavy Hot Extrusion Press HEP-112/116

Back to Extrusion Site | HEP - 112/72 - Medium Wire Extrusion Press

Hydron's HEP-112/116 is a high-output unit for production of large-diameter bars and anodes of any kind of solder alloy.

HEP-112/16 Features:

• automatic loading system
• front extrusion
• larger billet diameter
• hinged piston - shorter extrusion cycle and less floor space needed
• extended production output
• electro-hydraulic power supply HSS-112 with frequency inverter
• efficient cooling unit CU-112
• easily coupled with Bar Cutter BMS-112 and Anode Buzz Saw BSA-112

Unit Description:

Hydron's Heavy Hot Extrusion Press was designed specially for production of large-dimension bars and anodes. It uses billets of higher diameters, which are can be casted more efficiently then the regular-size billets. While it is still possible to produce solid wire and rods, we highly recommend the Medium HEP-112/72 for the purpose.

Quality: The unit allows for front extrusion. The extrusion chamber is equipped with a special set of cartridge and regular heaters, to provide optimum temperature in each phase of the extrusion. When suggested dies are used, the final product is of the highest quality and surface finish.

Automation: One of the main objectives was to reduce the necessity for the operator. The unit has an automatic billet loading system and it can also be integrated with Hydron's CCU-112 continuous caster. HEP can also be fully coupled for automatic production with anode buzz saws BSA-112 or bar cutters BMS-212.
The press uses the programmable logic controllers and an specialized alarm system to enable quick respond to any process variations. Frequency inverter allows for full extrusion speed control.

Efficiency: The unit is the most efficient on the market, enabling solder producer to achieve higher outputs then ever before. We have carefully studied all elements of extrusion cycle to reduce all inefficiencies and thus we reduced the cycle time to minimum. We introduced the hinged piston, which enabled to reduce the idle-run times and also enable to provide longer billets, which, in turn, makes the casting process more efficient. Also, less floor space in necessary to set up the production line.
The unit is also equipped with stepless speed control and frequency inverter. Temperature programming allows to set up pre-heating time, so that the unit is ready whenever you need to start production.

Environment: While high outputs and efficiency are crucial for production levels and profits, taking care of our environment is crucial to everyone. That is why we constantly redesign our units to consume less resources and energy and produce less scrap. The extrusion press is powered by HSS-112, our special energy-efficient electro-hydraulic supply system. Also included in the unit is the water-saving Cooling Unit CU-112.
