In aluminum extrusion, the press isn't your most important asset: your dies are. In this Step A analysis, we break down why neglecting die care is an EBITDA loss and how a Lean approach to cleaning recovers your margins.

Moving beyond CAPEX to understand the real financial impact of die cleaning. A quantitative 10-year TCO roadmap based on on-field data, comparing manual vs. automated systems through the lens of LEAN consistency and cumulative operational spend.

Optimize your Die Shop KPIs: throughput and process consistency. Discover why automated dry blastwheel technology outperforms wet slurry and air systems by ensuring deep surface activation, zero flash rust, and lean single-piece flow for H13 steel dies.

The Die Shop is the smallest gear in the extrusion mechanism, but it’s where a small deviation impacts most on EBITDA. Suggestion: stay seated.

Discover how a Lean technical approach stabilized the anodizing process, reducing chemical consumption while preserving 99% of profile weight. Real-world results on fixing surface issues, already proven in the field.
