Linum Project
Production of Al and alloy coils and sheets
This Project evaluates integrated production, up to 30.000 T/year of Al and alloy coils and/or sheets in 1xxx, 3xxx and 8xxx alloys with finishing thicknesses between 0,2 and 2 mm, in several widths, raw material being secondary aluminium ingot and a low percentage of coated scrap. It would allow a strategic upgrade of investment Group current activities that will lead to a greater diversification of finished products and consequently improve operating results. It has been foreseen enough space to duplicate production.
This would involve to carry out in a new “green field” Plant, first, melting and casting of coils up to 12 T weight (including spool weight) in the mentioned alloys, and further on, in these same coils, rolling operations, annealing, and in some of them tension levelling with degreasing and slitting.
According to this premise we have carried out Plant Engineering by means of a detailed “lay out” prioritizing an accurate analysis of material flows and a minimum handling of coils by the operators, leaving this responsibility to automatic and intelligent machinery.
