Ram Extrusion Presses
Heavy-duty Ram Extrusion Presses
Engineered for higher precision, greater material flexibility and faster throughput in your extrusion process.
Macrodyne is a world leader in developing custom heavy-duty ram extrusion presses. Our presses consistently simplify operations through pinpoint control over output, less material waste, easy material changeover and consistent traceability of batches.
These ram extrusion presses are used to densify and extrude plastic materials such as UHMW, PTFE, bioplastics, and more. Compared to screw extrusion, the ram process avoids shear and shear heating, while minimizing material loss and simplifying heating requirements.
Your Macrodyne ram extrusion press gives you full control over:
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Extrusion rate
You can also adjust for back pressure, sintering time, die length, reduction ratio, and cycle time to match your production goals.
Custom Hydraulic and Servo Ram Presses
Each Macrodyne custom hydraulic or servo ram press is made to order based on each customer’s production requirements. Presses can be developed in both horizontal and vertical configurations; horizontal presses are ideal for long extrusions, while vertical presses are preferred for shorter extrusions and save floor space.
We’ll also account for friction, drive power, material stress and channel length in the overall design. Your press can even feature an adjustable channel wall to achieve different release angles and meet your product requirements.
