I’m a recruiter for an employment agency so we deal with a multitude of different jobs. I don’t know a lot about the industrial aspects and I come across extrusion a lot and “racking extrusions” ….what the hell is extrusion?
In: 5
I work with an aluminum extrusion company, so here ya go. Think of your generic play-doh spaghetti maker, except it’s the size of a school bus, and uses telephone pole size aluminum rods. They come out as 1000F lengths of whatever shape the die the customer wants. It cools, is cut to shorter lengths, and goes on for further processing.
As what you ask?
Car, truck, electrical parts. Picture frames, window frames, door frames, door parts. Office divider edges/connectors. Track lighting tracks, brackets, fixtures. The pull-out ramp floors and sides on box trucks. The top and bottom edges of box trucks and trailer sides. See that beer truck with the roll up sides? We make those. Ride the elevator? We make the threshold. Aluminum fencing? Ditto. Open the cooler door at the quick mart? We make that long, smooth handle.
Extruders make the stuff other people use to make stuff!
