Understanding Aluminium Extrusion Manufacturing Risk
Aluminium extrusion involves forcing heated aluminium billets through precision dies using high-pressure hydraulic presses. The process introduces multiple high-severity risk factors that insurers assess carefully.
Fire, Furnace & Molten Metal Risk
Billet heating furnaces, gas systems, and molten aluminium present significant fire and explosion hazards. Insurers will assess furnace separation, refractory maintenance, gas shut-off systems, and housekeeping controls.
Machinery Breakdown & Press Failure
Hydraulic presses, pullers, quench systems, saws, and stretchers are critical to production continuity. A single press failure can halt output for weeks, triggering severe contractual penalties.
Product Liability & Dimensional Defects
Extrusion defects, tolerance failures, surface finish issues, or alloy contamination can cause downstream structural failures in architectural, automotive, or industrial applications.
OEM & Contractual Risk
Many aluminium extruders operate under long-term OEM supply contracts with penalty clauses, just-in-time delivery obligations, and strict quality KPIs.
