Anodizing · Vertical
The whole line
16 units of a vertical line. Profiles hang vertically on the jig and a crane lowers them into deep tanks, about 7.5 m. Such a line takes less floor space than a horizontal one, runs faster and is fully automatic. We source spare parts and consumables for every unit: pick a section or click a unit in the drawing.
Loading and unloading
Profiles are clamped to the jig on a table, the upender stands it up and a crane carries it to the tank row. Unloading runs the other way round.
Loading and unloading stations
Profiles are clamped to the flight bar on the table, the upender raises the jig to vertical and a crane takes it to the tank row. At unloading the jig is laid back on the table and the profiles are taken off.

Billet
It all starts with a cast billet of aluminium alloy, most often 6063 or 6060.
-
02 / 11
Cleaning
A brushing machine removes dust, oil and scale from the log surface so they don't end up in the die or on the profile. We also supply log cleaning machines on their own.
-
03 / 11
Heating
The furnace heats the billet to about 480 °C. The metal stays solid but becomes plastic.
-
04 / 11
Cutting and loading
The hot shear cuts a billet to length, and the loader brings it to the press.
-
05 / 11
Extrusion
With thousands of tonnes of force, the stem pushes the billet into the container and squeezes the metal through the die.
-
06 / 11
Profile run-out
The finished shape leaves the die. The puller guides the profile along the table while fans cool it.
-
07 / 11
Cooling
A transfer moves the profile from the runout table onto the cooling table. Belts carry it across while fans below cool it to shop temperature.
-
08 / 11
Stretching
The stretcher grips the profile at both ends and pulls it by 1-3%: the profile straightens and internal stresses are relieved.
-
09 / 11
Cutting to length
The profile waits on the storage table, then the finish saw cuts it to length against the gauge stop.
-
10 / 11
Stacking
The stacker places the cut profiles into a basket in layers, with spacers between the layers.
-
11 / 11
Ageing
The basket goes into the ageing oven: several hours at 180-200 °C, and the alloy gains its strength.

Pretreatment
Degreasing, etching and desmutting prepare the surface; rinses keep the baths apart.

Anodizing
Current from the rectifiers grows the oxide layer; the chiller holds the bath temperature.

Colouring, drying and unracking
Colouring gives the shade, sealing closes the pores, the oven dries the profiles before unracking.

Surface pretreatment
Degreasing, etching and desmutting with rinses in between: the surface is ready for anodizing.

Loading and conveyor
A closed-loop overhead conveyor carries the profiles through every machine; at the loading station they are hung on the hangers.
-
02 / 05
Pretreatment
The spray tunnel over the tanks degreases the profile and applies the conversion layer; the dry-off oven removes moisture before coating.
-
03 / 05
Powder application
Automatic guns apply the powder in the booth, the powder centre feeds them, and the recovery system returns the overspray.
-
04 / 05
Curing and cooling
In the oven at 180 to 200 °C the powder melts and cures, then the profile cools down before unloading.
-
05 / 05
Unloading
The coated profile is taken off the hangers onto cassette trolleys and sent to packing.

-
01 / 05
Pretreatment
Degreasing, rinses and a conversion layer in dip tanks, then drying: pretreatment decides how well the coating adheres.
