Curtainwall technology by Adex (July 7th, 2020)

 

What does the ultimate curtainwall look like? We asked ourself that question and came up with a lot of answeres. It should be simple, it should be cheap, it should be stable, etc. However the most important thing about the ultimate curtainwall is that it should be what the customer expects it to be. Without limitations. So at Adex we have come up with the "Curtainwall technology". This enables you the get the curtainwall just the way that is was designed.

 

 At Adex we have been producing dies for curtainwalls for some time. But what is the advantage of choosing for an Adex die?

 

 We have summarized the benefits for you:

  •  Maximum usage of the press opening. Thanks to the Adex spreading technology you are able to press every curtainwall that fits the press opening. Thus making it possible to quote all of the profiles in that project tender. You only have to worry that the profile will fit the press opening. Adex will take care of design a tool for it.

  •  Small details in the profile. Putting small details (chambers or threads) in the profile is often a point that will be heavily discussed. Especially when these details are outside of the container/billet. For Adex this is not a problem. We can produce dies with details that are located on the edge of the die. Giving the customer the maximum freedom of design.

  • Dimensional stability. A wide profile often becomes unstable during extrusion. A addition wall is mostly added to create stabilty. This could result in a heavier profile and increasing the possibility of die lines in the profile. At Adex we have been mastering the art of stability. Therefore (mostly) no extra wall is needed to make sure that the profile comes out as it was thought.

  • Minimized die-lines. Especially for profiles that are anodised die lines are something that will cause rejection of profiles. Thanks to our clever design we have been able to minimize the die-lines in the profile.

  • Compact design. Thanks to the integrated spreading Adex curtainwall dies are compact thus saving on die costs and scrap during production.

 

So for the next time you are thinking about a curtainwall, think about Adex!

We are proud to announce that we have expanded our website with several whitepapers. These whitepapers contain more information about the subjects there are written about. Right now we have started with spreading, simulation and co-engineering. More whitepapers will follow.

Ramon Brauer about 2019 and the outlook for 2020

Ramon, you have been at Adex for 1 year now in the role of managing director. In this year a lot happened with the global economics that impacted the extrusion world. However, a change seems to be coming. What do you think about the current situation the market is in?

Adex awarded the Bronze status from Ecovadis. Adex was checked on environment, labor & human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.

We are proud to announce that Adex is a sponsor of Team VeLo in the "Go for Africa" Challenge. This is a three week journey for students from the Netherlands (Bakel) to Belgium, France, Spain, Marocco, Mauretania, Senegal and Gambia. In Gambia Team VeLo will be giving technical eduction at schools. For more information visit the website www.goforafrica.nl

Good luck guys!

Adex is specialised in manufacturing complex dies. The need for complex dies are increasing yearly at Adex.

The market experiences the benefits and this results in a significant increase in orders, especially spreading dies.  Increase in production capacity was clearly needed.
In January Adex installed and commissioned a brand new Heller FP8000, with this state of the art machining centre Adex is able to manufacture dies with the highest quality requirements.

On behalf of our complete team we would like to thank you for this past year and wish you merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Extrusion dies with Christmas message

We will display several interesting dies with spreading and shrink ring technology.

Also you will see a real 3D-printed extrusion die.

We would like to welcome you on our booth 801P.

Software is becoming a more integrated part of our lives. More and more is done by software before
it’s put in practice. ADEX has now joined this ‘movement’. By acquiring a dedicated 3D-software we
are now able to simulate the extrusion process byte for byte. The software enables us to see if the
proposed design works. But is also helps the customer in showing where heat stripes may occur or
even how big the billet transition will be and another plus is the possibility to simulate several blocks
being pressed (Front-end/back-end).

By simulating ADEX is now able to already know upfront what will happen during the extrusion
process before the tool even arrives at the customer. Making it possible to reduce the number of
trails. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like more information!
