We are pleased to
present the latest edition of the Extrusion Press Maintenance Manual.
The new 416-page manual is designed to assist plant engineers and maintenance managers, especially in cases where
experienced maintenance people have retired or original manuals have been lost. It will be valuable for training new
workers, for documenting procedures for ISO 9000 certification, and as general information for extrusion companies' upper
management. This unique manual, which documents in detail all
aspects of extrusion press maintenance, was prepared by drawing on my 30 years of experience in the extrusion industry,
and on published references. In addition, selected presentations by industry experts on several critical topics, such
as electrical and hydraulic system maintenance and repair of major components, have been incorporated in the manual with permission
of the authors. The loose-leaf manual contains some 317 illustrations
plus tables, charts, and useful references, as well as Preventive Maintenance Schedules in spreadsheet format, to permit the
user to customize the schedules for individual requirements. To order the manual online please go to
the Home page above !! If you require immediate delivery, the complete manual is available in Adobe pdf format
by large file transfer (24 Mb) for $100 USD.
