Aluminum for medical

Medical extrusion and precision components

Medical, Cleanroom & Wall Partition Applications

Dajcor Aluminum supports medical equipment manufacturers, cleanroom suppliers, and wall partition OEMs with precision aluminum extrusion solutions designed for clean, durable environments.

Medical, cleanroom and wall partition work is governed by surfaces and tolerances. Sections need to be cleanable, joints need to close properly, and a partition system has to go together on site without adjustment.

Common applications we support

Where our profiles typically end up in this market.

Cleanroom framing systems

Cleanroom wall and ceiling framing with smooth, cleanable surfaces and sealed joints.

Medical equipment components

Machined structural and mounting components for medical devices and equipment.

Wall partition systems

Wall partition sections — posts, rails, glazing profiles and trim that mate precisely.

Healthcare enclosure systems

Enclosure and housing sections for healthcare equipment and cabinetry.

Laboratory workstation structures

Framing for laboratory benches, workstations and equipment supports.

Sliding rail systems

Guide and track sections for doors, drawers and height-adjustable equipment.

Surfaces that clean, joints that close

Anodized aluminum gives a hard, non-shedding surface that tolerates repeated cleaning, which is why it appears throughout equipment and cleanroom framing. Alloys with good surface characteristics such as 6063 and 6463 are typically specified where the part is both visible and wiped down often.

Partition and workstation systems live or die on fit. Extruded sections that mate with each other have to hold their dimensions consistently, and machined features have to land in the same place on every length — which is where in-house machining and tight fixturing earn their place.

A partition system is only as good as the fit between two extrusions.

Materials and finishes

Profiles for every industry we serve are extruded from 6000-series alloys and finished in-house. The right combination depends on the loads, the environment and how visible the part is.

6063 and 6060
General-purpose and detailed sections with excellent surface quality — the usual choice where the part is seen.
6061 and 6082
Higher-strength structural alloys for load-bearing and safety-critical sections.
6005 / 6005A and 6463
Structural sections needing more strength than 6063, and bright architectural trim.
Anodized finishes
Clear satin and etched, electrolytic colour and chemically bright, up to 27 ft in length.
Painted finishes
Durable indoor and outdoor coatings with consistent colour matching across runs.
Mechanical finishes
Buffing, brushing and deburring where a specific surface texture is required.

Key manufacturing capabilities

Dajcor Aluminum delivers engineered aluminum extrusion solutions backed by technical expertise, responsive service, and dependable North American manufacturing capabilities.

  • Custom aluminum extrusions in 6000-series alloys
  • Precision CNC machining and fabrication
  • In-house anodizing and painted finishes
  • Extrusion lengths up to approximately 28 feet
  • Prototype through production manufacturing support
  • Canadian and U.S. manufacturing capabilities

Key advantages

Vertically integrated manufacturingExtrusion, machining, fabrication and finishing run in our own plants, so parts are not crated and shipped between vendors after every operation.
Precision-machined aluminum solutionsComponents arrive machined to drawing and ready to assemble, rather than as stock lengths that still need work.
Reduced supply chain complexityOne purchase order, one production schedule, and one supplier accountable for the finished component.
Reliable lead times and scalable capacityFour presses across two countries, with roughly two-week lead times on mill-finish profiles running existing tooling.

Common questions

Answers to the questions that come up most often at the quoting stage.

Aluminum extrusion tolerances depend on several factors, including the size and complexity of the profile, wall thickness, alloy selection, and the circumscribing circle diameter (CCD) of the extrusion. Industry standard tolerances are typically based on guidelines published by the Aluminum Association, which define achievable dimensional accuracy for solid, hollow, and semi-hollow profiles.

With Dajcor’s 7", 8" and 9-inch extrusion presses, we are able to produce a wide range of aluminum profiles that meet standard Aluminum Association tolerances across many applications. During the design and quoting stage, our team reviews each profile to confirm achievable tolerances based on the specific geometry and manufacturing requirements.

Working collaboratively during the design phase helps ensure the extrusion profile is optimized for manufacturability while maintaining the dimensional precision required for the application.

Aluminum extrusions can be finished in a variety of ways to improve durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance.

Common finishing options include:

  • Mill finish for applications where the natural aluminum surface is acceptable
  • Anodizing for enhanced corrosion resistance and decorative finishes
  • Powder coating for durable colored coatings
  • Brushed or polished finishes for aesthetic applications

The appropriate finishing process depends on the application, environmental conditions, and performance requirements. Our team works with customers to determine the best finishing option for their extrusion profile.

Yes. In addition to aluminum extrusion, Dajcor offers a range of secondary operations to support complete component manufacturing.

These services may include precision machining, fabrication, cutting, drilling, and finishing processes such as anodizing or powder coating, depending on the requirements of the application.

Providing these value-added services allows customers to streamline their supply chain by sourcing fully finished components from a single manufacturing partner.
