Difficult profile co-extrusions and extrusions provide custom solutions to wide range of product needs

July 24, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
An expanded range of difficult profile co-extrusions and single extrusions is available from HPE Extrusion Solutions, Inc., Bally, PA, in exact custom configurations specified by customers.
The plastic parts, made from in-house custom dies, can be designed, developed and produced to meet a customer’s complete requirements for profiles, type of resin, quantity, colors and other specifications. Difficult profiles up to seven inches meet a wide range of applications in almost every industry—from bird patches and garage door seals to truck parts.
Experienced in-house custom die-making can furnish both complex and more conventional configurations
HPE will work with customers to develop the most compatible thermoplastic material, design innovative extrusions and co-extrusions, manufacture custom dies, and produce finished tight tolerance pieces in high and low volumes, as required.
“Our custom job shop capability includes recommending materials and dimensions for special engineering requirements,” said HPE President Tony Madison. “We provide parts which are components of other products, as well as parts that are free-standing. There are many plastic extruders in our industry, but few custom shops like ours who will handle everything from original design to design changes.”
HPE’s 24,000 square foot headquarters/production facility in the Bally Brook Industrial Park, Bally, PA., includes a 1 ¼-inch portable Welex extruder with 60 amp. Electrical connector, which can be wheeled around for co-extrusions, and nine other extrusion machines. The portable extruder can be used to produce a wide variety of complex co-extrusions at less cost to customers because it does not require a dedicated co-extrusion line, Madison pointed out.
Founded in 1972, HPE Extrusion Solutions extrudes a wide variety of consumer, industrial and military products, ranging from garden trellises, bird perches, garage door seals and windows for M1 Abrams battle tanks to truck parts and components for computers, aerospace, audio systems and medical systems
