Extrusion Excellence at KB Components in Zilina, Slovakia

Located in Zilina, Slovakia, KB Components excels in extrusion production for various industries. After a significant expansion and upgrade in 2019, we now offer an extensive range of extruded items. Primarily, our focus lies in manufacturing parts for the lighting industry using materials such as PS, PMMA, and polycarbonates. Additionally, we create products utilizing PP, PE, ABS, and opalic LED materials.

Advanced Extrusion Technology for Improved Product Quality

At the outset, our extrusion technology relies on a single-screw extruder that is also equipped with a melt pump unit. This setup consequently results in a stable output with a noticeable reduction in issues related to weight, thickness, and profile flow.

In an effort to uphold quality, the process segues into tooling which incorporates a heated anti-corrosive steel dye system. This is tied in with a series of dry calipers, expertly crafted from brass. To further enhance stability, the calipers also come complete with cooling water and vacuum features.

The intentional design of this approach primarily aims to ensure the clarity of the products. This focus is particularly essential as we cater to the needs of our lighting clients. On the other hand, for handling distinct materials such as PP and PE that are non-transparent, we have implemented the use of water baths and cooling units.

Lastly, rounding off the entire operation, it is of paramount importance that we minimize stress on the components. As a measure to achieve this, our products undergo further cooling. This is executed by means of inline air coolers that are strategically situated along the extrusion line, ensuring an optimal performance and finished product quality.

Precision Cutting and Co-extrusion Capabilities

We utilize pullers fitted with belts made from materials that leave no marks on the profiles. Transitioning to cutting, our sawing unit is designed for precision, accommodating lengths ranging from 350 mm to 6 meters. Furthermore, we offer co-extruded components where we fuse two distinct materials in various colors.

Commitment to Quality and Timely Delivery

At KB Components, first and foremost, we prioritize quality and precision in our extrusion process. In fact, we ensure that our equipment is frequently maintained to deliver the highest quality products to our clients. Being a versatile player, our extruded parts are used in diverse industries, including construction, lighting, automotive, and electronics, just to name a few. Moreover, our team is committed to providing customized solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients. Recognizing the value of punctuality, we understand the importance of timely delivery and ensure that our products are delivered on time, every time.

Above all, we are proud of our production capabilities and look forward to continuing our legacy of excellence in extrusion.
