Filter units

Filter units remove impurities from the final product in aluminum production. Preheating with electric heating can improve overall efficiency and safety.

Pre-heating transport and bath ladles

Gas burners have long been the traditional choice of heating solution for ladle preheating. This is despite their poor thermal efficiency since most of the heat generated is lost through exhaust gasses rather than used to heat the actual ladle. Not only does this increase energy costs, but also

Ingot and sow mold pre-heating

With electric heating using Kanthal’s Superthal® heating modules, energy consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced significantly when drying and preheating molds.

Cast house

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

Holding and mixer furnace

Replacing gas heaters with electric heating in holding and mixer furnaces can reduce costs significantly, and make the process much more clean and quiet.

Rodding shop

Switching from gas to electric heating in anode and cathode processing in rodding shops may help the industry-wide demand for lower energy costs and CO2 emissions.
