Horizontal Hydraulic Metal Extrusion Machine

CDOCAST CDO-EX250T to CDO-EX800T metal extrusion machines use a four-column horizontal hydraulic structure to extrude prepared billets into rod, wire and approved solid profiles. Five models cover 250–800 tons of thrust and published billet sizes from Φ40×140 mm to Φ80×150 mm.

What Is a Metal Extrusion Machine?

A metal extrusion machine—also called a hydraulic metal extrusion press or metal extruder—forces a prepared billet through a shaped die. The die opening determines the cross-section of the emerging rod, wire or solid profile, while billet alloy, temperature, lubrication, extrusion ratio and cooling determine the achievable surface and dimensional result.

This CDOCAST series is a billet-fed horizontal hydraulic extrusion press. The term “continuous extrusion” on the original product page refers to successive billet production and billet-to-billet process continuity; it should not be confused with a rotary CONFORM-type continuous extrusion machine. The practical production arrangement must be selected from the customer's alloy, billet and finished-product drawing.

  • Suitable for copper and copper-alloy rod or wire, plus approved silver, aluminum-alloy, zinc and other nonferrous products.
  • Front-mounted die-head access supports die installation, removal and maintenance.
  • PLC control and high/low-pressure hydraulic circuits coordinate fast approach, extrusion and return movements.

The CDO-EX range uses one hydraulic extrusion platform; frame size, thrust, billet size and installed power change by model.

Published forward and withdraw values are machine movement speeds, not guaranteed finished-product output. Actual extrusion speed and capacity depend on alloy, billet temperature, extrusion ratio, die, cooling, handling and quality requirements. Confirm local power frequency, phase, transformer capacity and foundation conditions before ordering.

How the Hydraulic Billet Extrusion Process Works

A stable metal extrusion line needs controlled billet preparation, die setup, extrusion and downstream handling—not only sufficient press tonnage.

Define Billet and Product

Confirm alloy, billet diameter and length, incoming condition, finished cross-section, tolerance and required production rate.

Prepare Billet and Die

Clean and prepare the billet. Set the alloy-specific billet, container and die conditions established by the production process.

Load and Align

Load the billet and verify alignment between the ram, container, front die head and downstream guide path.

Hydraulic Extrusion

The ram builds controlled pressure and pushes metal through the selected die to form rod, wire or an approved solid profile.

Cool, Collect and Inspect

Guide, cool, straighten, cut or coil the extrusion as required, then inspect section size, surface, straightness and defects.

Machine Structure and Extrusion Control

The design combines a rigid horizontal frame, controlled hydraulic movement and accessible front die handling.

enclosed horizontal hydraulic metal extrusion machine and billet preparation unit
Machine appearance and guards can vary by configuration; final line scope should follow the approved technical proposal.
Four-Column Horizontal StructureFour guide columns support press alignment and frame rigidity during billet extrusion. Foundation, installation level and routine alignment checks remain important for long-term operation.
High- and Low-Pressure Hydraulic CircuitsFast approach and return movements are separated from the controlled high-pressure extrusion stage to reduce non-working cycle time.
Front-Mounted Die HeadThe die is installed at the front operating area. Hydraulic opening and supporting movements are designed to assist die access, installation and removal.
PLC Operating ControlThe control system coordinates machine movement and operating sequences. Recipes, alarms, interlocks and data functions should be confirmed for the quoted configuration.
Die-Head HeatingInduction heating is listed for the die-head area. Actual die and billet temperatures must be established for the alloy and product instead of using one universal setting.

Copper, Silver and Nonferrous Metal Extrusion Applications

Feasibility depends on the exact alloy, billet quality, extrusion ratio, tooling and required section—not only the material name.

Copper Rod and WireCopper and approved copper-alloy billets extruded into rod, wire feedstock or solid sections for downstream drawing and forming.
Silver Rod and WirePrepared silver billets for approved rod or wire profiles used in precious-metal processing and further dimensional reduction.
Aluminum-Alloy ProfilesApproved aluminum-alloy billets for solid rod or profile sections after alloy, extrusion ratio and die evaluation.
Zinc and Other Nonferrous MetalsZinc and other compatible nonferrous alloys can be evaluated from material composition, billet size and finished drawing.

How to Select a 250–800 Ton Metal Extrusion Press

Metal Extrusion Machine FAQ

Direct answers for buyers comparing copper rod extrusion machines and hydraulic nonferrous extrusion presses.

What metals can the CDOCAST metal extrusion machine process?

The published applications include copper and copper alloys, silver, aluminum alloys, zinc and other nonferrous metals. Final feasibility depends on the exact alloy, billet condition, extrusion ratio, die geometry, temperature control and required product tolerance.

Is this a continuous extrusion machine?

It is a billet-fed horizontal hydraulic extrusion press. Successive billet operation can support production continuity, but it is not the same machine principle as a rotary CONFORM-type continuous extrusion system. Send the required product length, coil plan and joint requirement so the production route can be evaluated correctly.

Which model should I choose: 250T, 350T, 500T, 600T or 800T?

Do not select only by tonnage. Provide the alloy, billet diameter and length, finished cross-section, extrusion ratio, tolerance and production target. These inputs determine whether the available thrust, billet envelope, die design and installed power are suitable.

Can the machine extrude both rod and wire?

It can extrude approved solid rod, wire feedstock and profiles through dedicated dies. Very small finished wire is usually obtained through downstream wire drawing rather than expecting the extrusion press alone to reach final fine-wire size.

Does every model use a 380 V power supply?

The published table lists 380 V for all five standard models. Confirm local phase, frequency, transformer capacity and electrical standard before production because site requirements may differ.

What determines the output of a copper rod extrusion machine?

Output depends on alloy, billet size and temperature, extrusion ratio, ram cycle, die design, cooling, billet handling, cutting or coiling, inspection and planned downtime. The listed forward speed is a machine movement value and should not be treated as guaranteed product output.

Are dies included with the hydraulic metal extrusion press?

Die scope should be defined from each finished-product drawing. Different rod diameters and profile cross-sections normally require dedicated tooling, and additional dies should be listed separately in the technical and commercial proposal.

What information is needed for a metal extrusion machine quotation?

Send the alloy and composition, billet drawing, finished product drawing, extrusion ratio if known, target output, delivery form, cooling and downstream process, die quantity, factory voltage and available floor space. This allows CDOCAST to evaluate the machine model and complete line scope.
