Technology Sales
Novelis strives to deliver customer-driven, innovative technical solutions in the areas of casting and molten metal treatment equipment. Through our PAE engineering division, we offer: continuous casting Twin Roll Casters (3C), DC automatic slab casting systems, degassing and filtration equipment, spare parts & consumables for this equipment.
Continuous Casting Twin Roll Casters (Jumbo 3C)
The Jumbo 3CM®, the latest generation of Pechiney twin roll casters, is now available from Novelis PAE. This system produces strips of aluminum alloys by feeding molten metal between water-cooled rolls on a 2-Hi mill. The Jumbo 3CM® caster implements an all-in-one process combining two different operations: solidification and hot rolling.
The benefits of this system include:
- Reliable, industrially-proven equipment with to date over one hundred Jumbo 3C® roll casters in operation worldwide
- Pechiney know-how as equipment manufacturer combined with operating experience and extensive research and development
- Efficient supervision and data management system capable of controlling all key process parametersModular, flexible investment
- Low capital and operating costs
- Short lead time
- Scrap recycling capability
DC Automatic Slab Casting
Slab casting molds: 'water hole' molds with adjustable or fixed dimensions
Owing to the advanced technology of our slab casting molds (fixed or variable), it is possible to cast all families of alloys, whatever their dimensions, cross-sections and lengths. By choosing this technology the customer will benefit from the best possible balance in terms of investment and product quality.
DC casting machines
The rich experience gained in former Pechiney and Alusuisse plants allows Novelis to propose fully automated casters including the casting table, the lift and the hydraulic cylinder, which can be customized to meet all customer configurations and work conditions.
Automation System
The AUTOPAK concept is a global automatic slab casting process that automatically manages the sequence of casting phases and controls the associated parameters. Consequently, no manual operation is required during slab production. In addition, it can be integrated on all types of slab casting pits and with any type of mold, and offer the following benefits:
- Operator safety - No operator action required and automatic shutdown of cast in event of any abnormal situation
- Quality - Strict compliance with casting parameters and excellent repeatability
- Traceability – Edition and recording of casting data
Degassing & Filtration Equipment
Impurities in aluminum can cause quality problems and affect the mechanical properties of the product and its processing. To remove these impurities in the molten metal, we offer a variety of filtering and degassing processes. Our range of equipment includes:
- ALPUR® degasser: removes hydrogen inclusions and alkali metals with a patented rotor installed between the furnace and the casting machine
- Jetcleaner degasser: a compact, inline trough degassing unit
- Ceramic Foam Filter (CFF): removes inclusions from melt while reducing operating costs
- Deep Bed Filter (DBF): provides high-grade metal filtration at a lower cost
- IRMA® In-furnace Treatment System: fully automated process uses rotary injection technology to remove hydrogen and inclusions in a short treatment time
Customer Service / Spares & Consumables
We are able to supply original spares and consumables for all Novelis PAE equipment. We keep a large inventory of spare parts, and with the knowledge and expertise of our team, you are sure to find and receive the right part in the shortest time possible. Novelis PAE also provides after-sales support for customers when required.
