In the production of aluminum window and door systems, it is crucial to ensure efficient operation and superior quality of the end product. This need becomes particularly evident in the extrusion industry, where handling large volumes of aluminum chips and dust is a significant challenge. Investing in state-of-the-art vacuum solutions is critical to remain competitive in an industry that demands high performance and high quality standards.

What are the wastes produced by the aluminum extrusion industry

During the aluminum extrusion process, considerable amounts of swarf and dust are generated. During the aluminum extrusion process, liquid waste may also be produced, mainly in the form of oils and lubricants used to facilitate the extrusion itself. These wastes must be managed effectively to ensure that the production cycle is not disrupted and that the quality of the final product remains flawless.

What are the advantages of a vacuum system for aluminum extrusion

The extrusion industry requires a reliable and highly efficient suction system to safely and continuously handle chips and aluminum dust from the process. The introduction of a specially designed suction system offers a number of key benefits:

• Maximum operational efficiency

An efficient suction system can handle large amounts of material continuously, ensuring that the extrusion process can run without interruption.

• Improved product quality

By effectively removing chips and aluminum dust, the vacuum system reduces the risk of contamination and defects in the final product, helping to maintain high quality standards.

• Increased workplace safety

The presence of chips and dust in the work environment can pose a safety risk to workers. An effective vacuum system helps reduce this risk, creating a safer work environment.

To meet these needs, the company has adopted some industrial vacuum cleaners from RIBO X2K line.

RIBO X2K vacuum cleaner for aluminum extrusion

To meet this challenge, RIBO offered the aluminum extrusion specialist the X2K industrial vacuum cleaner. Equipped with a powerful single-phase motor and optimal collection capacity, the X2K model proved to be particularly suited to the specific needs of aluminum extrusion applications. These vacuum cleaners effectively handle chips, dust and liquids from the extrusion process, helping to maintain a safe working environment and ensuring the quality of finished products.
