Granco Clark Advances Futura Industries’ Capabilities

Belding, Michigan — Futura Industries has selected Granco Clark to enhance one of its existing press lines. Granco Clark is supplying a 500lb. “hand-off” style double puller with lead-out and run-out conveyor, and a new transfer and cooling belt system to Futura Industries’ Clearfield, Utah facility. Granco Clark is a global aluminum extrusion equipment manufacturer and supplier.

The new equipment will extend the existing system’s extrusion length to a maximum of 150 feet.

Futura Industries is a single source manufacturer of custom aluminum extrusions. They have been in the aluminum extrusion profile business for 60 years.

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.
