Behind the Scenes Continued from page 17 QC testing provided by Selecta’s Carl Hillman SYSTEMS root cause of the failure, and corrective and preventive actions applied to ensure the issue doesn’t happen again. Passed profile is packed within stillages and transferred to the storage warehouse, ready for order picking. of extrusion, with full dimensional, colour and operational checks with associated profiles, reinforcements, accessories and ancillaries. Upon the start-up and then every two days of a profile section’s production run, physical property tests are carried out within the QC lab. This consists of a series of tests that simulate adverse climatic effects to ensure that the profile section continues to perform to a high standard when subject to these extremities. “There’s so much more to the whole extrusion process, going from that initial powdered raw material to PVCu window or door profile section” This is done for the ten samples and recorded. The test simulates a cold winters night / day and the consequence of an object making contact with the profile section. Two further QC lab tests are carried out, one for determination of appearance (heat ageing) after exposure at 150 degrees celsius and determination of heat reversion. The latter determines the deterioration of a profile section after three 250mm section samples are placed in a conditioned oven at 100 degrees celsius for a minimum of one hour. The reversion, or deterioration, is measured as a percentage change of the final length relative to the initial length. If a failure is identified, stock is quarantined and an investigation is carried out to find the All of the extrusion processes and QC testing is carried out in accordance with our product Kitemark licence, standard BS EN 12608-1:2016 and our ISO 9001 Quality Management System requirements. Company processes, procedures and testing are externally audited by British Standards Institute (BSi) every 6 months, with further audit test sampling carried out at BSi UKAS accredited labs based on the same criteria. There’s so much more to the whole extrusion process, going from that initial powdered raw material to PVCu window or door profile section. This behind-the-scenes feature will give those of you who are unfamiliar with the process a quick overview and insight in to the methods and A finished profile extrusion practices involved. It’s not just a window or door or a piece of plastic to Selecta. It is that precision engineered product that we envisaged from the start. Contact Selecta Systems: 0121 325 2100 www.selectasystems.com/ @SelectaSystems A finished profile extrusion To simulate extreme cold conditions, cold impact testing consists of ten profile section samples cut to 300mm and conditioned to -10ºC for a minimum of 1hr. Selecta, condition sections above the requirements with the freezer set to -13ºc and for a minimum of 2 hrs. Each one of the ten samples is taken out of the freezer, once conditioned, and placed in a jig where a 1kg weight is dropped on the profile section from 1.5m in height. If the sample breaks, it fails and if the weight ‘bounces’ off, it passes. 18 TF JANUARY/FEBRUARY <strong>2022</strong> CONNECTING THE WINDOW, DOOR & ROOF FABRICATION SUPPLY CHAIN
