MTD offers a global, integrated approach to the
extruder's needs.
The MTD integrated problem-solving approach
combines extrusion practice, technology knowledge, experience in
extrusion problem solving for small and big press, as well as
numerical trials performed with electronic computers.
The MTD
Simulation Aided
Design integrates
numerical simualtion within the usual design procedures and includes
die design, extrusion process and cooling optimisation.
Key factors for the extruder are e.g. extrusion speed for big
runners,
flow balance, process parameters and process
control, mastered thermal evolution, profile cooling, dimensional
tolerances, microstructure, metallurgy, weld seam quality and
mechanical properties.
This MTD integrated approach acts as a decision factor to
make the right choice between different concepts.
