Belding, Michigan — Can Art Aluminum Extrusions Inc., of Windsor, Ontario, has selected Granco Clark to supply heating and handling equipment for its new 3300-ton press line.

Balanced cooling will be achieved with overhead and under table air cooling systems; a 600 GPM high pressure spray quench will also be available for heavier profile sections.

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.
