Aluminium Continuous Strip Casters
Continuous Casters are today branded as ‘Machines of Choice’ for manufacturing aluminium strips and foils. The reasoning behind this is lower capital investment and lower operating costs. For integrated plants with further downstream process like foil rolling, these are very useful for scrap management. If all the scrap produced can be recycled in-house, it leads to increased efficiency.
Process of Casting
Two water cooled rolls accept molten metal through a ceramic mold. Upon solidification, it is rolled into a strip. The strip is then wound into a coil on a coiler and is further cold rolled in Rolling Mills. This produces sheets and foils.
Basic Specifications

| Speed (max) | 2mt/min |
Melting / Holding furnaces :
Furnaces are used to melt aluminium ingots and scrap. Our manufactures are stationary and tilting furnaces with melt rate capacities up to 5 MT/hour. Aided by unique design and heat recuperation systems, these furnaces are very fuel efficient.
