A manufacturer of aluminum profiles and complex extrusion press products recently purchased a nitrocarburizing system for its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in northwestern Romania.
Quebec-based Nitrex delivered and installed the turnkey NX-815 nitrocarburizing system for Swiss corporation Alu Menziken Extrusion AG, incorporating the Nitreg®-C technology for treating aluminum extrusion dies at the greenfield site which produces a range of profile products for aerospace and automotive companies. The process technology adapts to the application requirements to deliver improved performance of extrusion dies.
“With a focus on the environment, Alu Menziken also sought to introduce eco-friendly technologies for all equipment at its greenfield facility. Not only is there a benefit of reduced process gas use with the Nitrex system, the integral high-efficiency neutralizer also helps comply with environmental regulations,” said Marcin Stoklosa, Nitrex European Project Manager.
