Vitex Extrusion Adds Granco Clark Log Furnace and Hot Saw

Vitex Extrusion has upgraded a press line at their West Franklin, New Hampshire facility with an energy-efficient Granco Clark Model 69 Hot Jet Log Furnace and HBCS 69 Hot Saw. The Hot Jet Log Furnace is the most energy-efficient billet-heating furnace on the market delivering an average thermal efficiency of 55%. A Granco Clark Hot Log Saw will be been integrated with Vitex’s new Hot Jet Furnace. The furnace/hot saw combination provides accurate and consistent length billets to the extrusion press. The Hot Saw’s electronic control utilizes real-time production information to determine billet length, cutting billets to the precise size required just prior to entering the press cycle, eliminating the need to stock billets of multiple lengths.
