Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) April 16, 2008-- Kredit Automation & Controls, Inc., a Rockwell Automation Systems Integrator Partner, announced today that it has delivered what it believes is the worlds largest automated aluminum extrusion die cleaning system to Indalex of Connersville, IN. Indalex Aluminum Solutions is the largest independent producer of soft alloy extrusion products and the second largest aluminum extruder in North America.

The die cleaning system is designed to remove aluminum from extrusion dies that are up to 30 inches in diameter at a rate of 45 dies per day. Efficient removal of aluminum from dies is critical to preparing the extrusion dies for re-use. Unlike the process used throughout most of the industry, the Kredit Automation die cleaning system is specifically designed to minimize employee exposure to hot, high pH, caustic liquids. In addition to significantly increased safety for the Indalex die shop employees, attention to process control results in a high performance die cleaning system that offers a reduction in chemical usage and cleaning time over existing systems.
Kredit Automation & Controls installed a similar system for another international aluminum extruder located in Phoenix, AZ, where they experienced significant improvements in operator safety, productivity, and a reduction in chemical usage because of efficiency improvements. That facility reports an annual savings of $60,000 per year with the Kredit Automation die cleaning system and die cleaning time reduced by as much as 50% with an associated decrease in labor. "This system represents the state-of-the-art in extrusion die cleaning. The level of safety offered to the die shop operators is second to none." says Dale Kredit, president of Kredit Automation & Controls.
