The continuous casting process is the starting point of aluminium flat rolled production. In this stage, molten aluminium is transformed into solid coils or slabs that will later undergo rolling and finishing processes.
Continuous Casting
Continuous casting systems are designed to ensure uniform metal structure, consistent thickness, and superior surface quality. Advanced technologies such as electromagnetic stirring, ceramic filtration, and temperature-controlled feeding systems are used to enhance the purity and mechanical properties of the aluminium.
Key Features
- Conversion of molten aluminium into solid cast coils
- Uniform metal flow and temperature control systems
- Electromagnetic stirring for improved internal structure
- Deep bed filtration for higher metal cleanliness
- X-ray scanning systems for defect detection
- Capability to produce large coils (up to ~26 tons)
Benefits
- High-quality base material for downstream processes
- Improved surface finish and structural consistency
- Essential for ultra-thin foil production
- Reduced defects and enhanced productivity
