Alcomet AD of Shumen in Bulgaria has inaugurated its new extrusion line with a HybrEx25 press from SMS group.

The HybrEx25 is a new generation of extrusion presses featuring an innovative drive concept. Compared with conventional extrusion presses, the hybrid drive technology used at Alcomet significantly reduces energy consumption. Fikret Ince, chairman of the supervisory board, was impressed by the shorter dead cycle times of the press. The HybrEx25 also fulfils the requirements of an ecoplants solution from SMS and fits in perfectly with Alcomet’s longer-term strategy.
