Profile Transfer & Cooling Solutions
Ensure Smooth Profile Conveying with Reliable Surface Protection
After the initial extrusion stage, aluminum profiles enter continuous transfer and cooling processes where stable conveying and surface protection become critical.
CALM provides felt belt and conveying solutions designed for different temperature zones, helping aluminum extrusion manufacturers reduce friction, prevent surface damage, and maintain reliable production performance.
Understanding Profile Transfer & Cooling
During aluminum extrusion production, profiles need to be continuously transferred while gradually cooling down to achieve stable handling conditions.
Unlike the initial high-temperature contact stage, this stage focuses on long-distance conveying, repeated movement, and consistent profile support.
The right protection materials help maintain:
- Smooth profile transfer
- Stable conveying performance
- Reduced friction and wear
- Consistent surface quality
Without suitable protection solutions, aluminum profiles may experience:
- Surface scratches
- Uneven movement
- Excessive belt wear
- Production interruptions caused by component replacement

FAQs
Which felt material is best for profile conveying applications?
Kevlar is commonly used for high-temperature conveying areas due to its excellent balance of heat resistance and wear performance. Nomex and Polyester are suitable for lower-temperature sections.
What is the difference between Felt Belt and Felt Conveyor Belt?
Felt Belt is commonly used for standard profile conveying applications, while Felt Conveyor Belt is designed for heavier loads and more demanding production environments.
Can CALM customize felt belts for different extrusion lines?
Yes. CALM can customize belt width, length, thickness, material structure, and other specifications according to equipment requirements.
How can felt belts help protect aluminum profiles?
The soft felt surface reduces direct friction between conveying components and aluminum profiles, helping minimize scratches and maintain surface quality.
