Website Offers Redesign, Tooling Calculators, and More

The redesigned website, www.bhtool.com, describes B&H Tool Company’s engineering, production and technical support for companies who use extrusion tooling, including adjustable center, fixed center, and multi-layer crossheads, and in-line die assemblies.

B&H tooling is used for the extrusion of thermoplastics, fluoropolymers and silicones throughout the wire and cable industry, in medical device manufacturing and for the manufacturing of industrial tube, hose and pipe.

Website discusses how B&H Tool Company works collaboratively with manufacturers of wire, cable, tubing, hose, pipe and profiles to optimize extrusion performance by eliminating extrusion instabilities.  Strategies for reducing set-up times, reducing scrap and meeting production goals, such as lower head pressure and faster line speeds, are also covered.

B & H Tool Company’s website has two calculators available to determine the right tooling dimensions for a specific extrusion, or to test an existing tool set for balance: a DDR/DRB calculator for draw down ratios and balances, and a tooling calculator for die and tip sizes.

Website offers an extensive FAQ section, describing considerations, factors and decisions for buying extrusion tooling. A published article section provides valuable information on maximizing the stability of the extrusion process.
