What is the cost of setting up an aluminum extrusion factory?

What is the cost of setting up an aluminum extrusion factory?

The cost of setting up an aluminum profile factory is nothing more than: Labor, water and electricity, natural gas, mold costs, maintenance costs, scrap costs, additional processing costs for aluminum billets, rent costs, equipment depreciation, financial costs, management costs, etc., and one set of aluminum extrusion production line.

Because the size of the aluminum profile that is produced determines the specifications of the extrusion line you need to use.  

Aluminum extrusion machine with different specifications are applied, the size of the aluminum extrusion produced will be different.

The larger the aluminum profiles size, the bigger tonnage capacity the extrusion press will be applied.

In the production, according to the shape and size of the section of an aluminum profile, the size of the extrusion mold is determined, and it is determined whether the extrusion mold is a flat die or a porthole die.

If the mold size is known, the tonnage capacity of the extrusion machine is basically determined.

If we want to set up a new aluminum extrusion factory, here is the detailed information for the cost

600T aluminum extrusion press, billets heating furnace with hot log shear, mold heating oven, cooling bed and run out table, puller and aging furnace, the estimated cost is 250,000.00-500,000.00USD based on different brand extrusion machine and auxiliary equipment;

800T aluminum extrusion press, billets heating furnace with hot log shear, mold heating oven, cooling bed and run out table, puller and aging furnace, the estimated cost is 300,000.00-600,000.00USD based on different brand extrusion machine and auxiliary equipment;

1000T aluminum extrusion press, billets heating furnace with hot log shear, mold heating oven, cooling bed and run out table, puller and aging furnace, the estimated cost is 400,000.00-750,000.00USD based on different brand extrusion machine and auxiliary equipment.

That is only for aluminum extrusion production line machine cost.

We have to consider the shipment freight cost, the installation and commissioning cost.

Also for a new factory, the gas connection and installation, the environmental impact assessment, the operation forklift and aluminum billets cost (outsourcing) and working fund will be considered

For one aluminum extrusion production line, one shift workers are at least 5 person and 2 shifts-3 shifts will be 10-15 person.

So the cost of setting up one aluminum extrusion factory will be at least 350,000.00USD.

This aluminum extrusion production line is only for mill finish aluminum extrusion, without any surface treatment. 

If we want to make aluminum billets ourselves, the melting and casting equipment will be necessary.

If we want to make aluminum profiles anodized or powder coated, the anodizing workshop and or powder coated workshop will be necessary for the operation.

A complete aluminum profile production line generally consists of the following equipment:

Aluminum melting workshop

Aluminum melting furnace

Casting platform

Billet cast mold

Billet cutting machine

Homogenizing furnace

Aluminium dross processing machine(optional)

Online degassing equipment (optional)

What equipment is need to set up an aluminum extrusion factory besides aluminum extrusion press?

After a period of discovery, it is concluded that many customers know that aluminum extrusion press are used to produce aluminum extrusion profile, but they do not know that aluminum extrusion production requires a complete set of production lines, not only aluminum extrusion press.

Here, we will share aluminum extrusion knowledge that these customers do not know through this article.

What equipment does aluminum extrusion production line need?

6 different types of equipment are required.

The equipment names and functions are as follows:

It is composed of three parts: Billets rack, furnace body and hot shearing machine.

Equipment for heating, shearing and feeding aluminum billets to aluminum extrusion machine.

2.Aluminum extrusion press:

Aluminum profile extrusion press is the main machine and is the power unit for the extrusion profile forming.

The function of the mold heating furnace is to heat the molds.

4.Puller machine:

The puller machine has the functions of pulling, sawing and fixed length.

Puller is not a must for aluminum extrusion production line, but without a puller, it needs more workers and twist and bend problem will happen in the operation.

Therefore, it is necessary to equip the puller with the production line.

5.Aluminum profile cooling bed:

The cooling bed consists of run out table, material conveying device, feeding device, straightening system, material storage device, fixed-length transmission, finished sawing table, fixed-length table and so on.

The function will be cooling, feeding, straightening, sawing etc.

The aging furnace is composed of a track, charging skip and a furnace body.

It is for aluminum profile hardness through the heating.

Brightstar Aluminum Machinery provides aluminum extrusion auxiliary equipment, such as aluminum profile shape corrector, aluminum profile automatic film applicator, aluminum profile wrapping machine, brushing and polishing machine for our customers.
