Step 01Melt

Scrap arrives

Trucks bring aluminium scrap in through the plant gate. This is where the metal's journey begins.

Raw material: Aluminium scrap
Comes in by: Truck

Step 02Melt

Melting furnace

The scrap is charged through the furnace door and melted into a bath of liquid aluminium. When it is ready, the metal leaves through the nozzle into the launder.

Melting capacity: 45,000 MT a year
Comes out as: Molten aluminium

Step 03Cast

Casting table

The launder carries the metal to the casting table, where it drops through the moulds. Water-cooled liners chill it from the outside in, and it solidifies into long logs in the pit below.

Moulds: Water-cooled
Comes out as: Solid logs

Step 04Cast

Log handling

An overhead crane lifts the finished logs out of the pit and lays them on a trolley, which takes them on to the billet oven.

Log diameter: 17 inch
Moved by: Crane and trolley

Step 05Extrude

Billet oven and shear

Each log goes into the billet oven through an opening sized to fit it. Once it is hot enough to shape, the shear cuts it into short billets, one per press stroke.

Step 1: Heat the log
Step 2: Shear into billets

Step 06Extrude

7500 MT extrusion press

A pusher loads the hot billet into the container. The ram then drives it through the die, and the metal comes out the other side in the exact shape of the profile.

Press force: 7500 MT
Profile width: 100–720 mm

Step 07Extrude

3-mode quenching

Straight out of the die, the profile runs through the quench, which cools it with water, air or mist depending on the alloy and shape.

Cooling modes: Water · Air · Mist

Step 08Extrude

Puller and hot saw

The puller grips the profile as it leaves the press and draws it straight down the run-out table. After three billets' worth, the hot saw cuts it free.

Hot saw cuts: Every 3 billets

Step 09Finish

Finish saw

The handling table carries the profile across to the finish saw, which cuts it into exact lengths. The section shown here is a 600 mm channel.

Cut length: 4820 mm
Shown: 600 mm channel

Step 10Finish

Ageing oven

The cut lengths are loaded into a basket and lifted into the ageing oven, where they are held at temperature to give the metal its final strength.

Temperature: 190°C
Time: 8 hours

Step 11Finish

Packing

Aged profiles come out of the oven and are stacked with battens between the layers, then packed into bundles.

Comes out as: Packed bundles

Step 12Deliver

Dispatch

A truck pulls in, the bundles are loaded on site, and the order leaves the plant.

Loaded: On site

Step 13Deliver

By sea and by air

From the plant, orders travel on by sea freight and by air freight.

By sea: Sea freight
By air: Air freight

End of the line

Made under one roof

Melting, casting, extrusion, ageing and packing all happen in our own plant, so every profile is made to the same standard.
