ALUMINIUM EXTRUSION FOR THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
PRECISION-ENGINEERED EXTRUSIONS
Aluminium extrusion is revolutionising the manufacturing industry by offering a lightweight, durable , and highly versatile solution for a wide range of high-performance applications. From precision medical instruments to advanced green technologies, our expertise of both aluminium and plastic extrusion is utilised throughout the industry for some of the biggest and well-known companies.
Below, we explore how aluminium and plastic extrusions enhance efficiency and innovation across key sectors of the manufacturing industry.
Medical Equipment
Medical environments require materials that are durable, hygienic, and resistant to frequent sterilisation. Extrusions provide the necessary structural integrity while ensuring safety and longevity.
Aluminium extrusions are often used for medical enclosures, hospital bed frames and support structures offering durability, hygiene, and resistance to sterilisation chemicals. Extrusion finishing methods such as powder coating or anodising also ensures that extra layer of protection.
Plastic extrusions are commonly used for tubing, casings, and protective covers, providing lightweight, non-corrosive, and biocompatible solutions.
GREEN TECHNOLOGIES
Sustainability is a priority in modern industries, and extrusions play a key role in producing components for renewable energy and eco-friendly solutions.
Aluminium extrusions are found in solar panel frames, wind turbine components, and energy-efficient building materials due to its corrosion resistance and recyclability.
Plastic extrusions are utilised in thermal insulation panels and cable management systems for renewable energy solutions.
GREENHOUSES
Greenhouse structures need materials that withstand environmental elements while providing support for plant growth and ventilation systems.
Aluminium is preferred for greenhouse framing due to its strength, weather resistance, and ability to support glass and polycarbonate panels.
Plastic is commonly used for glazing panels and trims, irrigation tubing, and flexible connectors, offering lightweight, yet reliable, high quality yet cost-effective, solutions.
LIGHTING
Lighting solutions require materials that offer efficient heat dissipation, durability, and aesthetic appeal for various applications.
Aluminium is ideal for LED heat sinks, housings, and reflective components that require excellent thermal conductivity.
Plastic is commonly used for diffusers, protective covers, and flexible tubing for wiring systems.
OFFICE FURNITURE
Modern office furniture demands a combination of strength, design flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, making extrusions a perfect fit for the office environment.
Aluminium provides sleek, modern designs for desk frames, shelving supports, and ergonomic chair structures.
Plastic extrusions is often used for drawer inserts, desk trims, cable management systems, and protective edge profiles.
SEATING
From transport to commercial applications, various industries require seating solutions that are made from strong, yet lightweight materials that provide durability and comfort.
Aluminium extrusions provide structural frames for stadium seating, public transport, and ergonomic office chairs - all of which benefit from aluminium's strength-to-weight ratio.
Plastic extrusions can be found in moulded seat components, armrests, and back support elements, offering comfort and durability for people.
LUGGAGE
The luggage industry relies on durable yet lightweight materials to enhance mobility and protection for travellers.
Aluminium is used in high-end, hard-shell luggage cases, reinforcing frames, and telescopic handles.
Plastic provides lightweight, impact-resistant shells and flexible interior compartments.
PACKAGING
Efficient packaging solutions require lightweight, protective, and durable materials that ensure product safety and sustainability.
Aluminium packaging solutions include food containers and protective casings.
Plastic is ideal for plastic films, bottles, and containers.
SHOWER ENCLOSURES
Shower enclosures require water-resistant and stylish materials to provide long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing solutions.
Aluminium: frameworks for glass shower doors benefit from aluminium's water resistance and sleek finish.
Plastic gaskets, seals, and decorative trims ensure watertight and stylish enclosures.
INDUSTRIAL DOORS
Industrial doors require strong, impact-resistant materials for durability, security, and energy-efficiency.
Aluminium is used in robust commercial door frames, rolling shutters, and sectional doors.
Plastic is ideal for weatherproof seals, impact-resistant panels, and insulation layers to improve efficiency.
SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT
Scientific applications require high-precision materials that support accuracy, reliability, and resistance to harsh environments.
Aluminium provides precision extrusions for laboratory enclosures, microscope frames, and measuring instruments.
Plastic is used for protective casings, lightweight tubing, and chemically resistant components.
RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY
Advanced research requires extrusions that provide high performance, durability, and adaptability for cutting-edge applications.
Aluminium is ideal for cleanroom structures and optical devices.
Plastic is ideal for sample containers, insulation panels, and lightweight lab accessories.
