Home Applications General industries WDS® - in Aluminium processing

The processing industry, for example the automotive industry, expects a high level of flexibility and low costs of the supplying industry.

This problem can be solved by the fact that the final customer receives a casting ready product "just in time and place". By the use of liquid aluminum transport systems these problems for secondary aluminum industry could be solved.

The application of our microporous heat-insulating material WDS® Ultra in the correct insulation configuration, permits a clearly lower loss of temperature per time unit in comparison to conventional insulating superstructures. This effect allows aluminum suppliers to increase safety time up to freezing liquid aluminum or supply more customers which are in far distance.

By the increased heat insulating ability of the transport ladle the pre- and reheating times are noticeably reduced. That saves operating costs. With larger distances to the final customer the gas consumption and costs necessary for reheating the ladle is reduced.

The optimization of the insulation creates an increase of the utilizable volume of the transportation ladle, this directly has an positive effect on operating costs of the supplier and customer.

  • the working reliability is increased, since the service life is
    extended.
  • the adhering to the brick lining is reduced.
  • the health risks before, while and after the installation, are in 
    contrast to the use of ceramic fibers, eliminated.
  • the handling is very easy, since the product is finished with clean
    surfaces and is ready to be built in.

Moreover WDS® Ultra is very successfully used in applications like melting furnace, launder, filter box and the different pressure pouring machines.

We look forward to be addressed to this topic by you.
