Cooling

The cooling requirements of extruded profiles, pipes and tubing are often the most challenging and overlooked single component of the extrusion process. ESI’s wide range of cooling solutions and optional equipment provides the ability to balance the cooling requirements of various extrudates while accommodating other considerations such as line length, energy and water usage, filtering and maintenance concerns. ESI cooling solutions include spray tanks, flood tanks, flood/spray combination tanks, multi-pass tanks and cooling drums. All ESI cooling tank designs are available in single strand and multiple strand configurations.

Cooling tank models are available with idling or driven support rollers or can be outfitted with driven conveyors for tension free conveyance through the tank. ESI also provides post-cut cooling solutions, for difficult to cool extrudates such as wood composite lumber, including cooling elevators and post cut cooling towers. ESI’s in-house engineering capabilities can also provide custom cooling solutions tailored to your specific cooling requirements
