Industrial Visit to Malabar Extrusions (P) Ltd.
On August 9, 2024, the S3ME students embarked on an enriching industrial visit to Malabar Extrusions (P) Ltd., a prominent player in the aluminum extrusion industry located in Peppathy. Accompanied by two faculty members, a group of 28 students gained valuable insights into the intricate processes involved in aluminum extrusion.
The visit provided a comprehensive overview of the production cycle, starting from the casting of aluminum ingots and culminating in the creation of extruded section profiles. The students were particularly intrigued by the manufacturing of extrusion dies, witnessing firsthand the precision and skill required in operating CNC lathes and Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) machines.
This industrial exposure not only complemented the students’ classroom learning but also offered practical insights into the real-world applications of their theoretical knowledge. The visit served as a valuable opportunity for the students to connect with industry professionals, understand industry trends, and explore potential career paths
