Abstract: A hot shearing apparatus for shearing heated round or flat section bars of light metal in billets comprises a stationary shearing ring 8 and a movable shearing ring 11. Both shearing rings are divided into shell halves 21, 22 and 31, 32, respectively, and adapted to be spread crosswise in translatory sense. This facilitates the feeding of material and improves the cutting accuracy.

Abstract: An apparatus for pulling extrusions from a press, comprising two pullers (5,6) which alternatingly pull the extruded product (3) along an extrusion path and each are equipped with a separator (16) that moves along, and further comprising a cross-transfer conveyor (8) which conveys the extruded products upon separation in a direction transversely of the extrusion direction (F) for further processing, is characterized in that puller heads of the pullers (5,6) are designed to be movable transversely out of the extrusion path (2) for lateral shifting of the clamped extruded product by a cross-drive.
