Capabilities
The capabilities that are offered through our subsidiary company in the UK mean that Gallford can offer a range of extrusion processes from single and co-extrusion which are used for volume extrusion on a regular basis, to those which are used for a much higher specification of product and involve a more complex extrusion process such as cross head extrusion.
Through understanding the requirements of a range of market sectors and applications a broad range of post extrusion capabilities we are available to enhance the aesthetics and performance of the extrusions supplied.
Single hardness profiles are manufactured from a single material and can be flexible, rigid or rubber, which includes sponge based products.
Co-extrusion combines two different materials or colours into one single profile. Special twin head extruders and purpose made dies are used for this process.
Triplex Extrusion
Triplex extrusion, involves the extrusion of three different materials into one single profile. This involves highly complex machines and dies.
Cross head extrusion
Cross head extrusion is similar to co-extrusion but rather than combining different types of plastic or rubbers, it is possible to embed different components such as aluminium and glass fibre cord into the profile.
Additional in-line capabilities
To further enhance the aesthetics and the performance of the product we can offer the following additional services:
- Printing on the product
- Rolling textures onto the profile
- Adhesive tape to the product
