A container for use in a metal extrusion press comprises: a mantle having an elongate body comprising an axial bore; an elongate liner accommodated within the axial bore. The liner comprises a longitudinally extending passage through which a billet is advanced, and an elongate slot adjoining the passage. The container also comprises a vacuum conduit in fluid communication with the passage for removal of gases from the passage during extrusion.

An extrusion press machine includes an end platen, a die, a container, container cylinders which move the container back and forth, a stem that pushes a billet in the container, and a main cylinder at the front end of the stem is provided and by which the stem can freely slide front and back, the extrusion press machine further including a plurality of hydraulic valves that supply hydraulic oil in the main cylinder to the container cylinders and which operate before the stem and the container retract in movement when discharging compressed air in the container after upset of the billet and further including a hydraulic valve that discharges hydraulic oil in the main cylinder into a tank, the hydraulic valves connected by a hydraulic pipeline, and the main cylinder and the container cylinders being able to be connected.
