Tri-City to Add Granco Clark Furnace

Belding, Michigan— Tri-City Extrusion, Inc. of Bristol, Tennesee has chosen Grano Clark to supply a new billet furnace. The furnace—a Model 812-40-4 Hot Jet billet furnace— will be combined with an HBCS 12 Billet Saw, and is designed to process 10” and 12” billets.

Tri-City is already operating a similar Granco Clark set-up on another extrusion line.

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.
