Garner Aluminium Extrusions gives acceptance certificate to SMS group for new HybrEx 35 extrusion line

Garner Aluminium Extrusions, also known as Garnalex, has reportedly acknowledged the supply of extrusion line by SMS group by giving them the final acceptance certificate.  Together with OMAV SpA, SMS group had installed an integrated extrusion line with HybrEx 35 as the core machine at Garnalex. OMAV Spa had supplied a billet heating system with billet furnace and billet saw, a run out system including an intensive profile cooling station, a profile stretcher, and a finishing saw.

The new HybrEx 35 will help Garner Aluminium Extrusions boost its productivity by up to 20 per cent. It will also enable the company to continue manufacturing higher-quality products for its customers in an environmentally-friendly and resource-efficient way. Thanks to the new technology’s significantly lower energy consumption levels.

Garnalex plans to use the new extrusion line to produce aluminium profiles for a fully integrated door and window system.

HybrEx 35 can extrude billets with a diameter of up to 228.6 millimetres and a length of up to 1,400 millimetres to produce aluminium and aluminium alloy profiles. The HybrEx® is also capable of producing high-precision profiles with extremely thin walls, boasting a deflection-resistant, three-part triple layer counter beam and patented precision guide for the container and moving crosshead.

Garner Aluminium Extrusion is a new aluminium trade extrusion company that was formed in March 2018 by Roger Hartshorn, who worked with HL Plastics for over 42 years and was also one of the founders of Eurocell PLC.
