EXTRUDING TOOLS

High abrasive influence of the mass to be extruded makes considerable problems to brick manufacturers due to high tools wear and frequent production downtimes what causes difficulties in maintaining the required dimensions defined by standards. By increasing the wall thickness and product dimensions a high percentage of the extruded mass is being irretrievably lost what causes the higher energy needs in drying and firing processes.

Solution of this problem was being sought by manufacturing
the wear elements of steel, hard chromed metal or of hard
metal. The hard chromed parts did not give optimal results and hard metal parts had no success in a wider commercial use because of to high price of them. Optimal design, developed by ENKER in the recent 25-years, is the manufacturing elements from high quality oxide ceramics, which can be compared with hard metal concerning life time but it is considerably cheaper.

Application of these tools is not yet exceeded in the whole world and our designers with long-range experience give a help to the brick producers every day in solving some details and increasing productivity and quality.
