Aluminum Extrusion Manufacturing Process

Extrusion Line Parameters

The manufacturing process for aluminum doors and windows begins with billet casting and extrusion. ROGENILAN operates two 1800-ton and one 2500-ton extrusion presses. Key parameters:

Process Step Temperature (C) Duration Output
Billet preheating 450-490 2-3 hr Homogeneous grain structure
Die preheating 480-500 1.5 hr Reduce thermal shock
Extrusion (1800t press) 490-520 Variable 12-18 m/min exit speed
Air quench (T5) Ambient 3-5 min Controlled cooling
Water quench (T6) 60-80 2-3 min Rapid cooling
Stretching Ambient 30 sec 2-3% elongation, straighten
Aging (T5) 175 +/- 5 6 hr Final temper
Aging (T6) 175 +/- 5 8 hr Full strength

Cutting, Machining and Assembly

After aging, profiles are cut to length using CNC double-miter saws (accuracy +/- 0.2mm). Machining operations include:

Assembly tolerance: frame diagonal deviation max 2mm per 1000mm. Corner joint gap max 0.15mm. All assembled frames undergo squareness inspection before glazing.

Installation Technology and Project Case

Installation Steps

Installation follows a 6-step procedure documented in the ROGENILAN installation manual:

  1. Opening preparation: Verify opening dimensions (+/-3mm tolerance), clean concrete surfaces, apply waterproofing membrane to sill.
  2. Frame positioning: Place frame in opening with 10mm expansion gap per side. Use steel shims at corners and load points.
  3. Fixing: Secure frame with expansion bolts or chemical anchors at 400mm centers. Torque to 25 Nm.
  4. Sealing: Inject low-modulus silicone sealant between frame and wall. Apply weatherproofing tape over sealant joint.
  5. Glazing installation: Insert glass units with EPDM gaskets. Set bearing blocks at quarter points. Install pressure plates at 150mm centers.
  6. Commissioning: Test operation (force 100N max for sliding, 80N max for casement). Verify water drainage weep holes are clear. Conduct spray test at 500 Pa for 15 minutes.

Case Study: Dubai Residential Tower (2025)

A 24-floor residential tower in Dubai Marina installed 3,200 m2 of ROGENILAN aluminum doors and windows in 2025. The project used casement windows (6063-T5, 1.6mm, 34mm thermal break) with 5+27A+5 Low-E + argon glass to meet Dubai Municipality thermal requirements.

Item Value

For projects requiring large glazing spans (sash over 2.0 m2), hurricane-rated performance, or 30+ year service life, aluminum doors and windows provide the lowest total cost of ownership despite higher initial price. The fire-rated A1 classification and 100% recyclability also align with LEED and BREEAM project requirements.

For complementary product lines, ROGENILAN also manufactures aluminum doors and windows systems and aluminium sunroom and wintergarten structures using the same 6063-T5 alloy and thermal break technology.
