7,000 Miles Apart, Extruders Agree on Granco Clark

Belding, Michigan — Different companies, different countries—same desire for productivity!

• Indalum S.A., a seven-press operation in Monterrey, Mexico, is retrofitting three of its existing press lines with Granco Clark double pullers. The company is already operating this proven technology on one line, and will now retrofit three others. The scope of supply also includes new leadout and runout roller conveyors and transfer belt systems for all three lines.
   
• Haomei Aluminum in NanHai, China, has purchased three additional Granco Clark Flying Cut Double Pullers. The company is already operating two Granco Clark Double Pullers, and the results have been so positive it has decided to install the technology on the remainder of its 7” and larger press lines.

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.
