• Billet diameters over the range 150mm to 460mm
• Billet lengths 300mm to 1500mm

Benefits of Single Shot VSI technology include

• High circumferential temperature accuracy and repeatability. i.e. better temperature distribution
• Automated coil tap variations for different billet lengths giving the ability to vary the temperature profile along the billet length
• Ability to process billets from different materials with minimum oxidation and scale
• No billet sticking and no glass lubricant build-up

Induction heating offers many advantages over alternative forms of heating for aluminium and light alloys prior to extrusion.

It is widely accepted that taper heating (longitudinal temperature gradient) and isothermal extrusion yield productivity and quality gains. Only induction can provide the flexibility and accuracy demanded by modern extrusion companies. Induction heating offers energy efficiency up to double that of fuel fired systems, is compact and environmentally beneficial both in global terms and for the operators.
