Textile Aluminium Extrusion Profiles
Light, accurate sections for textile machines
Textile machines run fast and for long hours, so moving parts need to be light and parts that touch yarn or cloth need smooth, burr-free surfaces. Snalco extrudes aluminium (aluminum) sections for textile machinery and supplies them cut, drilled and finished to the machine builder drawing.
| Quick answer Textile profiles are made in 6063 and 6061, anodised for wear and a smooth surface. Typical parts are frames, guides, covers, creels and roller sections. |
Parts made from extrusions
| Part | Why aluminium |
| Machine frames and covers | Light and rust free; easy to assemble |
| Yarn and fabric guides | Smooth anodised surface that does not snag |
| Rollers and tubes | Low inertia for faster start and stop |
| Creels and stands | Strong and easy to move |
| Trolleys and carriers | Lighter loads for operators |
| Heat sinks for drives | Cooling for electronic parts on the machine |
What machine builders gain
- Lower moving mass: less wear on bearings and drives.
- Clean surface: anodised finish avoids snagging delicate yarn.
- Even quality: tolerances checked on a profile projector.
- Repeat supply: one die, steady production across orders.

Why Snalco
- A working quality lab: spectrometer for chemistry, UTS machine, Rockwell and Brinell hardness testers, conductivity meter, metallurgical microscope and a profile projector for dimensions.
- An in-house tool shop, so new dies and die corrections do not wait on an outside vendor.
- Cutting to length, drilling, punching and machining done at the plant, so you can receive parts ready to fit.
- Own extrusion plant at Kosamba, Surat, built around a 1600 UST four-column hydraulic press that handles 6 inch and 7 inch billets.
How to order
- Section and size: dimensions in mm, wall thickness, and the profile number or drawing.
- Alloy and temper: for example 6063-T5, or 6061-T6 where more strength is needed.
- Part function: guide, roller, frame or cover, with the tolerance that matters.
- Finish: mill finish, anodised, powder coated or another finish from the list above.
- Length and quantity: cut lengths in mm or full mill lengths, and the total weight or number of pieces.
- Delivery point: a city in India or an export port, so freight and packing can be quoted.

Frequently asked questions
Which aluminium sections go into textile machinery?
Frames, covers, guides, rollers, creels and trolleys, plus heat sinks for drives.
Can you make a custom profile for my machine?
Yes, from your drawing, with trial samples before production.
Why use aluminum for yarn guides?
It is light and, when anodised, gives a smooth hard surface.
What alloys do you supply?
