Florida Extruders International Selects Granco Clark For its Energy-Efficient Billet Heating System

Belding, Michigan — Florida Extruders International has selected Belding, Michigan-based Granco Clark, to supply it with a billet heating system for its new 9” press line. Granco Clark is a global aluminum extrusion equipment manufacturer and supplier.

The billet heating system will consist of a model 812-35-3 “Hot-Jet” Log-heating Furnace with the ability to handle log lengths up to 24.5 feet and a model 812 Hot Log Saw to process the logs and provide the exact length billet required for every press cycle, thus reducing scrap. A suitable transveyor will deliver the cut billets to the press loader.

Florida Extruders International, Inc., headquartered in Sanford, Fl, was formed in 1989 and is a low-cost, vertically integrated, aluminum extruder. The company manufactures windows, sliding glass doors, and patio screens, and also distributes building products.
