PULLER FORCE
When the extrusion comes onto the output table, the front end is guided by a piece of equipment called a Puller. The puller has two purposes:
If, in the latter case, you are forced to pull one of the output extrusions too hard, there is a considerable risk that the slowest profile will become overstretched and have a highly adverse effect on extrusion shape.
EXTRUSION SPEED
One of the most important process parameters is extrusion speed. As mentioned elsewhere, extrusion pressing is a semi-continuous process. When each new ingot is produced, the process is stopped. Once re-started, pressing speed is increased to the optimal speed for each extrusion.
As speed has a direct effect on material flow, it is obvious that it also has an effect on the size of the finished extrusion.
