Granco Clark Stretchers

Stretching is one of the most critical post-quenching operations in the extrusion process: Performing that function correctly often makes the difference between usable product and scrap. An overstretched profile will be out of tolerance; a profile that is not stretched to its yield point will snap back unstraightened. Both are destined to become scrap.

Granco Clark stretchers deliver precise, accurate stretching, which enhances profile quality and keeps scrap to a minimum. And used in conjunction with our belt systems, our stretchers straighten and batch profiles for efficient downstream operations, increasing throughput as well.

Granco Clark stretchers accommodate a broad range of requirements. Our stretchers are available in several configurations including  cam-style and controlled vertical crush jaw designs. One, two, or no-man operational modes offer labor savings and give you the flexibility you need to meet operational challenges.

And with all Granco Clark Stretchers, safety is paramount. Each offers a variety of standard and available safety features to help protect the operators.
