Bongioanni Stampi

New product series of extrusion devices

Bongioanni Stampi has developed a new set of extrusion devices for a wide range of products. These include the Omega extrusion die, one of the most innovative extrusion dies currently available on the market and specifically tailored to customer needs. To ensure high maintenance friendliness, completely new materials were introduced into the production of these extrusion dies.

All components of the Omega extrusion die that are in direct contact with the clay are made of anti-abrasion materials, to ensure high, long-lasting quality of external regulation and high resistance to wear. The columns of the core-support-bridge are built with a square section in an NC-controlled process because the anti-abrasion steels used are only available on the market in the form of steel plate. Special attention was also paid to the welding process: the die is only welded where absolutely necessary, and welding is performed exclusively with the TIG welding method, using electrodes made of the same anti-abrasion material.

Also worth mentioning is the use of alternative materials such as aluminium for the production of some components of the extrusion die that have no contact with the extruded clay, with the aim of reducing the weight of the extrusion die for easier transport and handling.

The new lubrication system of the brakes with external regulation features external lubricators and sliding bars in Teflon on which the brakes can slide. The brakes are made with increased thickness, creating a bigger friction surface and consequently a better braking effect.

A very important aspect for the customers is that they can obtain a spare part for every component of the extrusion die without having to send the die to the manufacturer.
