Clean Out Block for Better Extrusion

After each change of alloy, and also at least once each day, a clean-out block should be used to remove the build-up of oxide skin from the container liner.

The Castool clean-out block is precisely sized for maximum efficiency in cleaning the liner wall of each individual container.

The Clean-out Block

 

 

Castool is a global leader in Clean Out Block

The advantage of considering the process of extrusion as a total system has already been well established and it is practiced by most world-class extruders. The ultimate extrusion system would therefore have all major components designed and produced to work together and be provided by a single supplier.

Castool is the only global supplier to the extrusion industry that can provide both a complete line of products, and trained experienced technicians to help the extruder to get maximum productivity from his system. This service is available wherever Castool products are sold.

Single sourcing and undivided responsibility distance a complete Castool tooling package from all others. A typical Castool single press tooling package includes all necessary spares.

 

Clean Out Block Product Specifications

After each change of alloy, and also at least once each day, a clean-out block should be used to remove the build-up of oxide skin from the container liner. Castool's clean-out block is long enough to sit on the billet loader and then travel straight and smoothly through the liner. It is designed to be used at room temperature to make handling safer and to achieve better dimensional control. It is hollow to reduce weight, and wire cut on both ends to allow it to flex slightly and not damage the liner wall.
