Indalex Aluminum Solutions Places Hot Order With Granco Clark

Belding, Michigan — Indalex Aluminum Solutions has awarded Belding, Michigan-based, Granco Clark an order for a Hot Jet Aluminum Log heating furnace and HBCS Hot Log Saw for the company’s Elkhart, Indiana facility. Granco Clark is a global aluminum extrusion equipment manufacturer and supplier.

The new equipment will replace Turla’s Log furnace and hot log shear that was installed in the late 1990’s. The new equipment will also handle nearly 14,000 lbs per hour of 10” diameter logs.

Indalex Aluminum Solutions is an independent supplier of aluminum extrusions, cast aluminum billet, and close-tolerance fabricated components.

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.
