Overview

XtrudeWorks designs structural frameworks and precision mounting solutions to support extrusion systems, dies, feeders, and auxiliary process equipment. Each structure is constructed for stability, load distribution, alignment accuracy, and ease of installation. Whether building a mobile die stand, a rigid feed throat support, or a cantilevered frame for limited space, we tailor solutions to match your plant layout, floor loads, and operational needs. Designs prioritize strength, adjustability, and integration with safety or guarding components.

Process Options

• Consultation & Scope Definition → Define support requirements based on equipment loads, access needs, installation constraints, and mobility options
• Structural Design and Modeling → Create 3D models and welded assemblies that include leveling systems, casters, lift points, or anchor bases as needed
• Surface Treatment & Material Selection → Recommend materials and finishes (e.g., paint code, powder coating, stainless, aluminum, etc.) to match process requirements
• Reverse Design of Legacy Structures → Replicate or improve existing support frames or guarding for upgraded systems or tighter tolerances
• Manufacturing Documentation → Provide production-ready drawings with weld symbols, layouts and BOMs for structural fabrication and field assembly
• Vendor Coordination & Fabrication Oversight → Identify qualified fabricators and oversee production to ensure dimensional accuracy and build quality
• Installation Oversight & Alignment Support → Provide guidance with rigging, positioning, and securing frames to ensure proper system support and functionality
