Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture

Al-Sheets (0.2/0.3 mm or 36 SWG) of size 20" × 30" cutted from the continuous coil, will be used as the raw material. The above raw material will be fed into high speed power press for blanking and drawing. After the operation of power press, the material will be processed in the knotching press for keeping gap. Finally, the trimming operation is done, for removal of extra material and polishing, the seals are polished in the polishing barrel. The finished Al-sheets are inspected, properly packed and despatched.
