LPSK Aluminum Selects Granco Clark to Supply New Press Line Components

LPSK Aluminum of Suzhou, China has selected Granco Clark to supply several components for its new 2750-ton press line. The order includes the well-respected Granco Clark Double Puller—the first “cut-on-the-fly” puller ever operated by LPSK.

Granco Clark will also provide the heating technology with a Model 69 Hot Jet Log Furnace, and a Model 7/9 Hot Log Saw. The order also includes transport equipment to deliver the billet to the press. Profiles will be cooled by a Granco Clark High Pressure Spray Quench.

The new line will provide LPSK with a high production system for 9” diameter billets. This will enable the company to enhance its offerings to both the architectural and industrial profile sectors.

Founded in 1947, Granco Clark began manufacturing billet furnaces and has evolved into a global, single-source supplier and leading equipment manufacturer to the aluminum extrusion industry.  Quality is a key component in every extrusion system the company fabricates—from billet log furnaces and log shears to age ovens and stacking equipment.  In 1986, the company introduced the Granco Clark Supervisory Computer System (SCS) to enhance efficiency by developing schedules, loading equipment parameters, tracking faults, and logging production and downtime data.  This integrated control system has since developed into SCSExtrude—the next generation nerve center for automated extrusion lines.  SCSExtrude helps Granco Clark customers improve extrusion line management and reduces equipment downtime.
