As demand for aluminum profiles keeps growing in construction, industry, and new energy, the extrusion press industry is seeing new tech upgrades and market changes. In 2026, these 3 trends matter most:
1. High Efficiency & Energy Saving Are Now Standard
Driven by carbon reduction goals and cost-cutting needs, energy-saving tech like servo extrusion presses and quick die change systems are spreading fast. Market data shows over 70% of new extrusion lines now require 10%–20% better energy efficiency. Old setups with AC motors and variable pumps are being replaced by "servo motor + precision pump control" fast. Hengda Machinery's own servo electro-hydraulic hybrid system supplies oil on demand, slows down during standby, and cuts total energy use by 15%–25%, and up to 30% in slow extrusion cases—fully meeting the market's hard requirements for efficiency.
2. Growing Demand for Larger & Custom Presses
Lightweight parts for EVs (like battery trays, crash beams, crash boxes) and large industrial profiles (like rail car bodies, solar brackets, heat sinks) are boosting demand for high-tonnage, high-precision presses. Inquiries for 4000T–9000T large presses are up over 35% year-on-year. At the same time, standard models can't handle complex shapes or special processes, so custom line solutions are now a core advantage for makers. Hengda Machinery offers a full range from 630T to 9000T, and builds tailored production plans for each customer.
3. Smart Upgrades Are Rolling Out Fast
With industrial internet and smart manufacturing taking hold, extrusion presses are no longer standalone machines. Remote monitoring, data collection, fault alerts, and energy analysis are becoming common. The ability to connect with MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is now a key metric for improving production management and cutting overall costs. Hengda's industrial PLC control system supports standard communication protocols, and can track key data like speed, pressure, temperature, and energy use in real time—helping customers achieve lean production and digital management.
Hengda Machinery keeps up with these trends by improving energy-saving and smart features, and offers presses and complete line solutions for different needs. Whether for standard profiles or high-value areas like new energy and auto lightweighting, Hengda provides stable, efficient, and smart equipment support.
