Loomis Piston/Ram Extruders are available from 16 Tons (Lab Extruder) up to 1200 Tons and above. Our Piston/Ram Extrusion Presses are available in many combinations of tonnages and material cylinder diameters and lengths, allowing us to tailor our design to your requirements. There are several available extrusion orientations, including variable horizontal to vertical, fixed vertical, fixed horizontal, and horizontal with side swing.
