In a metal extrusion press, extrusion tools such as dies, mandrels, and closure members for billet receivers, are lubricated by bringing into contact with these tools, while the tools are hot, candles of lubricant material which melt on contact with the tools. The candles are moved into and out of engagement with the tools by a movable support operating automatically in the press cycle.

Apparatus for lubricating tools on metal extrusion presses

The discharge roll table comprises a plurality of rollers for receiving extruded bar or tube. A top cover extending along the table above the rollers is of substantially inverted V-shape cross section and is divided along the top edge into two half covers pivotable to the left and right of the table respectively. Each half cover is divided into cover sections aligned end to end and is connected at an angle to lifting devices arranged between the rollers. Thus the extruded product may be lifted to the left or right of the table, which may be substantially the same length as the extruded product.
