‘STUCK ON YOU’
Japanese based, ALTECO CHEMICAL PTE LTD, one of the foremost cyanoacrylate adhesive (commonly known as Super Glue) manufacturers in the world, has purchased an advanced backward extrusion press from Wakefield Company, Joseph Rhodes Limited.
The award winning Rhodes KJX-25 Horizontal Impact Extrusion press will be commissioned into a new production line to extrude aluminium bodies for the production of super glue tubes.
ALTECO is a fully integrated aluminium collapsible tube manufacturer offering a comprehensive range of facilities from Research and Development through to adhesive manufacturing. The "ALTECO" brand has gained worldwide recognition through their quality products and services, which they export to more than 50 countries worldwide.
Joseph Rhodes is one of a few companies in the world capable of manufacturing horizontal impact extrusion presses, and was chosen by ALTECO to supply their next press due to the technical and innovative nature of the machine, coupled with the Company’s reputation in the market place for excellence in workmanship, service and finish.
The Rhodes KJX-25 Extrusion Press has been specifically designed and developed for continuous high-speed operation with complete reliability. An improved linkage arrangement ensures that inertia forces within the press are reduced to a minimum. The AC variable drive motor available as standard makes automatic speed changes quickly and safely.
The Ergonomically redesigned tool-space area with improved accessibility makes the KJX press a popular choice with plant operatives. State of the art design features include PLC and a load measurement stress sensor, which measures tonnage at each press stroke and monitors for overload and underload of the press or tooling.
