EXTRUSION HEATING SYSTEMS

The next generation of Smart Containers is based on 3-zone cartridges, which offer the optimal conditions to react flexibly to the different requirements of the production process. "Zone 1" and "Zone 3" are short, powerful zones that allow optimal temperature control during production both on the tool side and on the stem side. The middle "Zone 2" is longer and designed with less power in order to be able to switch off the heating in the warmest area in the middle of the container over a large area during production.

The current state of development of the process-controlled “Smart Containers” means that they can be heated up and regulated at weights of between 500kg and over 100 tons in segmented heating zones.

The high-power heating cartridges can be produced with up to three heating zones and achieve a proven service life of up to 5 years and above depending on their intended purpose.

No matter whether frequent container changes or longer production periods - we have the right connection system for you!

Choose between our quick connection "MARX Quick Connector" and the compact connection "MARX Compact Connector".

The welded design of the cartridge heater offers all the advantages of a modern heating system for containers in extrusion presses.

It guarantees the highest possible security for permanent fixed connections and enables a simple, clear and therefore repair-friendly construction of the heating.

The MARX screw connection for easy self-assembly.

In addition to the advantage that the cartridges can be installed or replaced with simple tools, there are hardly any other advantages over the welded variant.

Low temperatures of the die carrier are often a reason for quality problems. The cold die carrier absorbs the thermal energy from the precisely preheated tool and thus has a negative impact on the pressing process.

The die slide heating from MARX prevents the heat from flowing quickly from the die to the holder.

Especially with small, filigree profiles, such as the MMP (Micro Multi Ports) products, the exact temperature control during the pressing process is extremely important.

The MARX die-holder heater was developed for these special applications and prevents the temperature from flowing away towards the die-holder.

With the help of our special bolster heater, you can easily heat the bolster in the press.

The installation principle and the arrangement of the heating elements are based on our proven container heating.

For special applications, in addition to extrusion, customized solutions for heating various components are often required. MARX also offers individual special solutions in this field.

An example of such an application is the forging press tool heater for forging aluminum with the aim of "isothermal forging".

The "Smart Heat" range of die ovens from Marx have been specially constructed for the preheating of extrusion dies.

They have one or more furnace chambers, which are heated according to the "recirculating air principle" and thus guarantee an even temperature distribution in each chamber.

The container preheating stations are either equipped with their own heating or can be operated using the resistance heating integrated in the container itself.

The heating process is precisely controlled by an integrated control.

Old container heating systems no longer meet today's requirements of modern production processes. These are often inflexible and energy intensive.

Retrofitting and modernizing old heating systems are often relatively easy to implement and offer great potential for energy savings.

Container heating systems of various brands can be checked, repaired and serviced in-house.

The individual components for connection, insulation and temperature measurement are individually designed, constructed and manufactured for the respective container.

New production and repair of induction heating as a replacement in extrusion containers of all press sizes existing worldwide.

Internal heating connections in welded and soldered version, soldered version also with nickel plated heater rods and interconnection bars. Power-contacts with
silver-plates.

Our ready-to-install installation kit enables the resistance heater to be fitted precisely, quickly and easily on site.

With the help of the pre-assembled heater, the installation time into the container is significantly reduced and can usually be carried out by the customer's own electrician.
