Our Process
New Age Industrial controls the entire manufacturing process from start to finish. Every product is designed, extruded, fabricated, welded, and shipped from our single facility in Norton, Kansas.
From Concept to Completion
Design
New Age Industrial takes pride in its processes, from concept to completion. First, our engineers and designers utilize the latest software design tools to bring products to life — turning customer needs into precision-engineered aluminum solutions.
Extrusion
Next, a gas-fired furnace pre-heats the 60 pound aluminum billet to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. During the extrusion process exit temperatures can reach 1050 degrees Fahrenheit. 2 to 6 inch diameter billet, depending on the die and shape being extruded, is pushed through a hardened steel die to create the desired profile shape.
Straightening & Hardening
Next, the aluminum is pulled and straightened to aid in the process of hardening the aluminum. An aging oven is used for additional artificial hardening of the aluminum to achieve the desired temper.
Saw & Fabrication
Manual cutting is performed for some components. High volume repetitive cuts are sent to precision computer controlled auto-cut saws designed by our own engineering team. Our Turret Punch delivers higher tolerances in sheet fabrication.
Coil
Coil is our second largest aluminum product used in production. We unroll the coil, straighten the sheet and cut it to length. Our turret punches allow for precise hole patterns and forming capabilities.
Welding
New Age Industrial has over 50 individual welding stations using both MIG and TIG argon gas welding. Our combination of skilled operators and robotics produces high quality finished products.
Washing & Shipping
The automated wash system with reverse osmosis rinse ensures that a bright and clean product will be shipped. New Age Industrial keeps an inventory of both finished goods and components for quick turnaround times.
