Extrusion
Climatech is an industry-leading provider of plastic profile extrusions. Equipped with multiple extrusion lines and an in-house tooling shop, our team can produce custom profiles in various sizes from a variety of materials to suit different uses and environments.
Our company houses 16 main extrusion lines with barrels that are 2 1/2, 3 1/2, and 4 1/2 in. in diameter and co-extruders with barrels that are ¾ in. and up in diameter. The lines incorporate a variety of post-extrusion equipment, including cooling systems, pullers, and cutters, which aid in the production of high-quality extruded components.
We also have an in-house tooling facility with a full machine shop, wire EDM units, and CNC equipment. It allows us to produce custom tooling with typical lead times of six to eight weeks.
Extrusion Processing
Our extrusion department has a number of extrusion lines giving us flexibility to make parts as small as 1/4″ and up to 9″+ while varying shape and material.
Extrusion
With 15+ main extrusion lines throughout the company we can process a mix of materials to multiple shapes meeting your production requirements.
Co-Extrusion
Utilizing smaller extrusion machines we have the capability to co, tri or quad extrude materials allowing a mix of rigids, flexibles and cap to create the ideal part for application.
Cooling
The extrusion process requires heat but cooling is arguably more important to shape and create parts. We use various cooling methods to meet tolerance requirements and create consistency in extruded components.
Air
Water
Vacuum
Cutting
We have the capability to cut long lengths, short lengths, tight tolerance or rough tolerance.
Saws
Blades
Knife
