Vertical Brass Extrusion Press Great for Hollow Brass Rod

September 17, 2011 Trackback Uncategorized by Matt Toohey Edit

hollow_brassThe Extrusion Press at AW Fraser is an indirect vertical press with a maximum billet weight of 37 kg. It was manufactured by Fielding & Platt of Gloucester England and has had many improvements made to it during the years it has been in operation at AW Fraser Ltd. These improvements which involve nearly every component of the Press with the exception of the rams, have enabled even greater accuracy than the original design. The extrusion staff also have many years' experience in the operation of the press and a good understanding of the capacity and capability of the department.

We do not use bridge-type dies in the manufacture of Brass Extrusion, so our material does not suffer any potential quality issued created by that process. It also means we can offer a wide range of hollow brass extruded alloys which are beyond the technique of the Bridge-type die. We can make C46400 and C67300 Brass Extrusion with variable wall thickness and excellent concentricity. It also enables us to be very competitive in brass machined components manufactured in our own machine shop.

We can also manufacture many different sections and sizes provided they fit within a 68mm diameter. We have a die-manufacturing facility and we have a very extensive range of dies ready-made in stock.

We are very competitive in components and bar made from the C67300 and C46400 alloys, so contact us for a quote.

Best regards,
