Extrusion Service |
Sierra Aluminum Company operates a total of three separate extrusion facilities containing six extrusion presses. Two of our
presses have 7 inch containers, three of our presses have 8 inch containers, and one press has a 9 inch container. These
presses are manned by knowledgeable supervisors and production personnel who ensure that the parts we run are within customer
specifications. We extrude 6005A, 6061, 6063, and 6105 alloys. All of our extrusions are manufactured according to the
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and
Aluminum Association tolerance guidelines.
All of our extrusion lines consist of presses manufactured by UBE Machinery and handling equipment manufactured by
Granco Clark. In the event that we have a breakdown, equipment commonality allows our maintenance personnel to quickly find
and fix the problem. In the event of a major breakdown, our duplication in equipment sizing allows us to rapidly move
tooling to another production line and continue uninterrupted material supply to our customers.
