Abstract
This Guide gives aggregated results compiled from responses to a questionnaire sent to all significant extruders in the UK, through the Aluminium Federation, and covers 20 aluminium extrusion producing sites. The survey was conducted in early 1992. Replies were received from 15 sites covering about 75% of the sector`s output. Total output in 1991 was approximately 130,000 tonnes. This Guide covers the three key processes of aluminium extrusion production, namely billet pre-heating, extrusion, and heat treatment. Wide variations in energy consumption were found for each activity. Although there could be a simple explanation for minor variations, there is scope for an investigation for large variations, with a view to achieving substantial reduction in energy consumption. This Guide includes an Action Plan which details energy saving proposals which can be adopted by the Aluminium Extrusion industry, to assist in achieving the target energy levels. (author)
