ell-balanced dies
A
dequate
flow balance is a key factor for
product quality,
geometrical tolerances, die life
and extrusion speed. Improved flow balance is reached by improving the
die geometry.
This is why MTD performs CAD
die conception together with numerical simulation
(the MTD Simulation Aided
Design).
To optimise
the flow balance in extrusion dies, MTD resorts to
numerical
flow modelling to make the right choice between different
geometry concepts.

Simulation Aided Design
helps
to balance flow,
predict the
bearing lengths,
master tolerances
and
reduce
the number of corrections,
for any complex die (full / hollow
profiles)
