The components within the continuous rotary extrusion process will undergo vast amounts of thermal pressure and friction, especially the consumable or wear parts such as abutments, dies and feedplates; these parts are subject to the moving variables within the continuous extrusion, and will wear quicker. However, selecting the correct material and heat treatment for your components during initial design stages can help increase their lifespan. The subsequent manufacturing of tooling will also affect the quality of tooling and how long they can withstand the extreme conditions created by the extrusion process.
At Bellcliffe Engineering, we aim to resolve any issues you’re facing with your machining processes, including continuous rotary extrusion. We provide reliable and trustworthy solutions in the form of bespoke components and machinery, and will manufacture your extrusion components to these same standards.

FAQs
Continuous rotary extrusion is theoretically an almost ceaseless manufacturing method used to form metal. It works by using friction to guide a metal feedstock into the groove around a circumference of a large rotating wheel. Once the metal has been guided into this groove, it is carried around the wheel until it meets an abutment, which stops the metal feedstock from rotating any further. As heat and pressure builds where the stationary feedstock meets the rotating wheel, which moreover continues to push metal into the abutment, the metal begins to soften. The softened metal can then be squeezed through a die, which extrudes the metal in the desired profile. All the while, more metal is fed onto the wheel to be extruded, ensuring this process - whilst feedstock is applied - is continuous.
