We develop integral solutions together with our customers to increase the profitability and efficiency of their aluminium casting plants, fully integrated in the 4.0 industry.
*With primary aluminium ingots as raw material
High performance and
sustainable casting plants
Automatic skimming machine
Allows the automation of the cleaning and skimming process of the melting towers and holding furnaces, resulting in high quality metal and minimum maintenance costs.
Continuous loading system
Provides autonomy to the continuous loading process of ingots and/or baskets, thus increasing the productivity and efficiency of the furnaces.
Melting tower
The most efficient furnace for melting aluminum ingots and medium size returns, with metal yield exceeding 99%.
Reverberatory holding furnace
Specifically designed for receiving, holding, alloying and preparing high quality aluminium.
The key equipment of the PRIME plants are the melting towers, with high perfomance and energy efficiency, designed for melting ingots, returns or medium size clean scrap.
Its operating principle is based on the heat transmission from the combustion fumes to the aluminium that is loaded through the top of the hopper. As the fumes pass through the aluminium load, it is heated, dried and finally descends to the bottom of the tower, where it is completely melted.
The cleaning door of our melting towers, covers the entire width of the melting chamber, and together with the automatic skimming system, allow an easier and safer accesibility and therefore an improved cleaning operation. This results in high quality aluminium, lower maintenance costs and a longer life-time of the furnace.
Our smart plants include auxiliary equipment, such as loading systems and skimming machines that improve and make easier the operation of the plant.
The molten aluminium from the melting tower is transfered to the holding furnaces, where it is alloyed and the chemical composition is homogenised.
Finally, the metal is poured into transport ladles to continue with the next steps of the casting process.
The Prime Casting plants are completely Smart and designed to be integrated in the 4.0 Industry with the Beyond platform.
