Aluminium Rolled Products
The production starts mostly with cast slabs. The slabs, varying in thickness from 200 up to 800 mm are heated to the required temperature, and then hot-rolled to a thickness of between 6 and 20 mm. The extreme reduction in thickness makes it necessary to coil the material. To replace the hot-rolling phase the producer could also use continuously cast coils mostly on a thickness between 6 and 12 mm.
In the next process, the metal is cold rolled on QUARTO rolling machines, two rolls underneath and two on top, to accumulate more power. The material will be rolled down to a thickness of 0,4 up to 4,0 mm, depending on the final product.
A third process brings the coils down to a thickness of 0,10 up to 0,4 mm. In this range various niche products are manufactured, such as foil-stock, different can applications, packing and roofing materials.
A fourth operation produces final packing materials, and different technical and household foils.
To accommodate the correct quality a number of heat-treatment processes is used to enable a proper production.
