Maximum Functionality – for more Efficiency

Aluminium’s light weight allows machines and robots to operate at higher speeds. This enables manufacturers of plant and machinery to achieve greater operating speeds, which have a positive effect on production.

The almost unlimited freedom when designing profiles enables components to be made that are optimised for the application and still economical. The integration of additional functions enables extruded profiles to perform multiple tasks, for example by incorporating lines for compressed air, cooling lubrication or extraction devices in the profile.

Innovations using Aluminium – for the greatest Precision

Without exception, the printing industry uses lithographic plates made from high-quality aluminium strip to produce newspapers. The strip used is characterised by a flawless surface and the excellent bonding behaviour of coatings. Only in this way can a high print run be achieved. Intensive development work in this field has led to the smoothest, strongest and most durable alloy for lithographic plates that is currently available on the market.

Extremely fine tolerances for precision machines can be achieved by manufacturing machines and plant from aluminium. Precision casting enables extremely fine tolerances to be maintained for complex geometries and is thus particularly suitable for motor housings, or for impellers for compressors or pumps. Best quality for demanding machines and plant.

Robust and long-lasting – for a safe Investment

Although aluminium is light, it is a very tough material. The alloys available allow the strength, corrosion resistance and utilisation period to be tailored exactly to the proposed application. Aluminium is thus a reliable and durable material, on which manufacturers and users can rely.

Ecologically expedient and sustainable

Machine parts made from aluminium reduce the overall weight. This reduces the energy needed to operate machines and the first fuel savings are made when the equipment is shipped.

Aluminium even plays out its strengths at the end of its useful life because all parts made from aluminium can be recycled without loss in a resource-conserving manner and then used in a new application.
