Turkish continuous homogenizing plant
November 14, 2011
Turkish manufacturer Asas Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret (ASAS) has ordered a continuous homogenizing plant from Hertwich Engineering, Austria.
The new plant ensures low operating costs. The electrically heated continuous furnace consumes only 210kWh/t of aluminum, distinctly less than conventional gas furnaces.
ASAS will benefit from low maintenance costs and short downtimes, ensuring high productivity of the extrusion presses used.
The scope of supply includes a helical ultrasonic inspection station, homogenizing facility, cooling system and turbo cooler as well as a sawing and packing station.
The design production is 80kt/y and commissioning is scheduled for early 2012.
