Industrial Extrusion Machine

The Industrial Extrusion Machine (IEM) is an IV tier multiblock for extruding metals into various shapes and components. The IEM is a direct upgrade from the singleblock extruder because it runs at 350% speed and offers 6 parallels per voltage tier. Extrusion buses have a configurable ghost slot for an extruder shape that only applies to the items in its own bus, allowing one machine to handle as many recipes as needed.

The IEM has no tiered components. Buses/hatches may replace any casing anywhere on the structure. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure.

Unique to the IEM is the extrusion bus which is effectively an input bus with a configurable ghost slot for an extruder shape. Shift-click the shape slot to open a menu with all available options. The shape only applies to the items in its own bus regardless of input separation settings. There are four tiers of the extrusion bus for increasing its internal capacity and is eventually superseded by the crafting input buffer.

Structure

• Controller: Front right, 2nd layer
• 8-33 Pressure Containment Casing
• 24 Chemically Inert Machine Casing
• 20 Forming Core
• 3-7 Clean Stainless Steel Machine Casing
• 1+ Energy Hatch: Any containment or stainless steel casing
• 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any containment or stainless steel casing
• 1 Muffler Hatch: Any containment or stainless steel casing
• 1+ Input/Extrusion Bus: Any containment casing
• 1+ Output Bus: Any containment casing

Wallsharing

IEMs may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

The IEM is a direct upgrade from the singleblock extruder because it runs at 350% speed and offers 6 parallels per voltage tier, as seen in the following table.

There are many different extruder shapes, listed below, for use with the IEM. Those on the left are more common while those on the right are rarely ever used. Not listed are the Tinker's Construct casts which also work in the IEM and are used for making advanced tool parts (ie. large plates).

Input separation is permanently enabled on the IEM which prevents SOLID ingredients in different input buses from being used in the same recipe, including any extruder shapes. That means a single IEM with many extrusion/input buses can support many different extruder shapes simultaneously. Just don't forget to stay above the minimum number of containment and stainless steel casings.
