Abstract: A method for feeding billets in horizontal extruding presses which comprises the opening of the container, the cutting off of the surplus of the billet extruded simultaneously to the supplying of a new billet in line with the container and to a simultaneous withdrawal of the press shank after each extruding operation and with the withdrawl of the main piston; then the advancing of the pusher for the insertion of a new billet into the container which is still open and the simultaneous withdrawal of the billet shear and of the feeder means for the supplying of the billet; the closing of the container when the pusher retracts and the movement of the press shank on the axis of the container; finally the advancing of the main piston for the inserting of the press shank into the container for the extrusion operation.
