As Business Heats Up, Whitehall Industries Keeps Cool with Granco Clark System

Belding, Michigan — Whitehall Industries has selected Belding, Michigan-based Granco Clark for a 100’ overhead cooling duct system on the facility’s existing 8” press line to provide accelerated cooling of aluminum extrusion profiles at its Ludington, Michigan facility.

The new system uses outdoor or indoor air, or a combination of both, to achieve the necessary cooling parameters for the array of automotive industry profiles produced by Whitehall Industries.

Whitehall Industries is a fabricator of aluminum extrusion components. Granco Clark is a global aluminum extrusion equipment manufacturer and supplier.

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.
