An extrusion shoe is found within the extrusion chamber, during the central stage of the CRE process; the extrusion shoe houses the abutment, feedplate, and die.The fitted extrusion shoe is placed surrounding part of the wheel’s circumference, so it is essential that your shoe complements the size of your wheel and shape of your machinery.
Bellcliffe Engineering can supply extrusion shoes custom to the temperatures, stresses, dimensions, and materials of your extrusion processes, so you can be sure that your components not only withstand, but elevate, your operations.

FAQs
There are many types of extrusion process, however, it is possible to identify different types of metal extrusion by some of the following characteristics:
Hot extrusion: this process involves heating up the metal before it gets forced out through the opening. It results in a part with a slightly rough and grainy texture; hot extrusion can be used for production purposes where there is no need for aesthetics like in car bumpers or body parts for construction equipment. Continuous rotary extrusion works on the principle of hot extrusion.
Cold extrusion: this type of metal extrusion involves forcing the metal through an opening without subjecting it to any heat. This results in a part that is highly polished and often used as a component in decorative items.
Direct extrusion: direct extrusion works by a ram moving forward and applying pressure to the feedstock, so as to push it into a die; continuous rotary extrusion works on this basis, though feedstock is moved by friction onto an extrusion wheel, before being worked through the die. This ensures it is a continuous process.
Indirect extrusion: during indirect extrusion, the ram moves backwards into the feedstock, which is contained within a confined space. The feedstock is forced to move forwards past the ram, where it can be extruded through a die.
