It was great to see so many of you at ET ’08. Thanks to all of you who stopped by the Granco Clark booth to chat, learn more about our extrusion technologies and systems—or just to grab a comfortable chair after a long day on the show floor. We always appreciate the opportunity to get feedback from customers and hear more about what’s happening in your operation.
Along with impressive displays and demonstrations on the show floor, ET ’08 featured a number of excellent presentations. David Jenista, Senior Systems Engineer at Granco Clark, presented two technical papers, including:
Provides principles and processes for extrusion operations to follow, particularly when dealing with complex shapes, to achieve high quench rates and protect profiles from distortion.
Examines a second-generation air/water quench design, and how quench performance and capabilities have been enhanced by significant improvements in zoned cooling, high-pressure spray, airflow design, and airflow balancing.
Look for more about ET ’08 technical papers in upcoming issues of Profiles, as Roger Fielding highlights how you can translate this research to performance improvements in your operation.
