Tooling

In order to achieve optimum results, constant innovation is critical. With our high level of technical know-how, our staff and our continuous development program, we have established Technoplast as one of the leading manufacturers of high quality extrusion tooling worldwide. We develop and produce customized tooling with an optimized price-value relationship. Our tooling is reliable, powerful and modular with many options. In addition to our standard tooling system for main and auxiliary profiles, we produce a simple cost-effective tooling system for single wall profiles. For high volume applications, we offer revolutionary possibilities for double strand extrusion with our Y-adapter. Our R&D efforts continue to meet the growing challenge of individual profile extrusion. At tooling conception, we focus on maximized output and service reliability with minimized energy consumption and easy handling. From the design of the tooling to commissioning, we concentrate on profile quality, full service and high flexibility. The manufacturing of our tools is primarily in our headquarters in Austria where we use only the best materials and components.

Living the customers' applications in all departments of our company is the base of our product development, which guarantees common success over a long period of time.

High End Extrusion Dies

Classic dies with mandrels guarantee consistent material handling, stable temperatures and easy maintenance. Specific customer needs like special fixation, materials or dimensions of the die are also possible

Combination Calibration System

Dies, calibrators and tank plates are produced in stainless steel (type similar to 1.2316, optimized for extrusion tooling) to guarantee the best profile quality with long lifetimes. Whenever possible, we use standardized modular elements to reduce spare part logistics.

Dry Calibration

The dry calibrator keeps the 200 degrees celcius hot PVC coming from the die in form and cools it down at surface to nearly room temperature. Central water and vacuum are available and a well-positioned fastening system allow toolless changing of calibrators in a short period of time.

Wet Calibration

We use our worldwide patented whirlbath technology for the highest cooling with the lowest water consumption. Standardized sizes of tanks are interchangeable with different profiles.

Segmented Dies

Mandrel dies are the standard approach to Technoplast's tooling solutions. This system which has been improved over the course of decades combines sturdy tooling technology with optimized channel geometry. The freely accessible channels make these tools extremely maintenance friendly. We have managed to transfer out mandrel dies' optimized channel geometry to die systems consisting of disk shaped segments. This technology allows for an even more precise guidance of melt flows and thus enlarges these tooling systems' production window. Ideal applications for segmented die systems are complex profile geometries, coextrusion and processing of regrind.


CoEx

In recent years, demand for fully and partially sheathed profiles has been a constant growth. For Technoplast, Coextrusion is one of the technological core competencies. We offer solutions for processing PVC, PMMA and ASA as Coextrusion material for both segmented and mandrel dies.





Carbide Inserts

The inserts manufactured from a sintered metal using PIM technology are used for exchangeable hold points for guiding templates. They guarantee accurate dimensions of the extruded profile lineals over a long period of time. Using the possibilities of stepwise dimensioned inserts short time corrections of tooling geometries can be applied.




WPC Extrusion

For almost ten years Technoplast has been working on tooling concepts for the extrusion of fiber material. Combining our know-how in PVC window and foam technology with the then-new idea of extruding WPC revolutionized the tooling market and made us one of the most successful suppliers worldwide. Corporations with the most innovative European material suppliers and virtually all large extruder manufactures using PVC, PE and PP as a matrix.
