Aluminum

Electric heating technology has the power to transform the efficiency and sustainability of primary aluminum manufacturing. Kanthal’s electric heating systems can reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions, as well as help create a safer working environment across a number of anode and cathode rodding shop processes.

As the molten aluminum takes its final form in the cast house, vast amounts of heat is required across various processes. By using electric heating instead of traditional gas burners, aluminum producers can significantly increase energy efficiency and reduce their CO2 emissions.

Secondary alumium involves further processing of material. This includes extrusion, rolling and casting of materials.
