Continuous extrusion wheels can be found at the start of the extrusion line, where the material is fed onto a groove in the wheel’s circumference. This continuously rotates, guiding the feedstock into the fixed abutment and die. The wheel’s constant rotating means is crucial to creating pressure where the feedstock is blocked by the abutment, as more feedstock is pushed into the abutment. The friction of the rotating wheel against the blocked feedstock, and pressure as more feedstock enters the abutment, creates the heat necessary for making the metal malleable. It is then forced through the die to create the desired shape.

FAQs
Continuous rotary extrusion is capable of producing great lengths of finished product, which can then be cut to size; this increases the capacity for accurate replication across products and decreases the amount of wastage.
It’s also highly versatile, creating an assortment of shapes and profiles, from feedstock; the end product can be bigger than the original feedstock, since it builds up within the extrusion process and takes on the form of the die, which can be of any desired shape.
