  • I worked on this extrusion press as a maintenance fitter when it was installed at Radiator and Tinning in Bulawayo Zimbabwe from 1987 to 2000.

    Ed: Thanks for your posting, Alistair. Great to know that some of these vertical extrusion presses are still in operation after 50 years service! John B
