Aluminium Extrusion press

Basic information

Plansee is a leading expert in the field of molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, and chromium products. These refractory metals, alloys, and composite materials are essential in industries such as electronics, coating technology, and high-temperature furnaces where traditional materials are pushed beyond their limits. Plansee delivers high-quality products worldwide, ranging from tiny heat sinks to large furnace installations.

As a top enterprise in powder metallurgy, Plansee manages the entire production process in-house, from sourcing the ore to manufacturing customer-specific components. The company uses innovative techniques like pressing, sintering, and deforming operations to produce extremely durable and reliable products.

Research and development play a crucial role at Plansee, as the company collaborates closely with its customers to develop new materials and solutions for cutting-edge technologies. Plansee operates across 32 locations in 24 countries, continually investing in employee training, production capacities, and state-of-the-art technology to remain the industry's preferred partner in refractory metals.

On the other hand, Precision Extrusion by Mifa offers unique custom-built aluminium precision extrusions. While accepted norms allow for deviations of 0.15 mm or more, Mifa goes beyond by providing precision extrusion with an accuracy of 0.02 mm. This makes Mifa the only provider worldwide with such precision capabilities.

Conventional extrusion methods may result in bulk production, standardized work, and inaccuracies. However, Mifa offers flexibility with a minimum order quantity of 10 kg and the ability to produce custom-built products with precision in various aspects such as straightness, torsion, concentricity, parallelism, and surface roughness. Additionally, due to the outstanding features of aluminium, post-processing is often unnecessary, making precision extrusion an ideal alternative for many applications and a potential replacement for other materials and techniques.
