Forward Extrusion Presses

Forward extrusion press models (also known as aluminium extrusion presses) were first built during the 1960s, with Fielding and Platt heavily involved in the development of the non-ferrous forward extrusion press model. 

Rhode Interform’s press is of the horizontal type, complete with a self-contained hydraulic power unit and controls suitable for manual operation. Its robust construction is specially designed for extruding aluminium alloys through a single filament die of customer supply.

Variable Extrusion Speed and Optimum performance

The extrusion speed is variable and can be preset so the ram operates at a pressing of up to 5mm per second. Built to the highest standards of quality control, the presses are designed to deliver optimum performance and long, efficient operational service under the most arduous working conditions.
