About ALTEK

ALTEK is a technology-based company with specialist expertise and experience in the design, manufacture and installation of aluminium dross and scrap processing systems. Our engineers have many years of international experience in developing and refining solutions to dross and scrap recycling. They are a unique skill resource for our worldwide customers.

ALTEK’s engineers use advanced 3D design/modelling software to design, manufacture, and install:

• Electromagnetic Furnace Stirring (EMS) - The most versatile and cost-effective air-cooled electromagnetic furnace stirring system available to the aluminium industry.
• Curved Electromagnetic Stirrer (CES) - Based on their highly successful, versatile Electromagnetic Stirring (EMS) range, ALTEK have developed a curved electromagnetic stirrer design for applications where the furnace shell is curved or rounded, specifically dome furnaces.
• RHINO-CAST® Dross Pans - Through over 30 years experience in designing durable castings for the ALTEK Press and TARDIS presses, ALTEK has expanded its product base and now supplies a variety of casting products for the aluminium casthouse.
• TARDIS Generation III Dross Press - Our latest technology, generating maximum recovery. Maximise Inhouse and Secondary Recovery. The ALTEK TARDIS Gen III takes the traditional dross press to a new level combining the proven robust solution with the latest in connectivity and information.
• Compact Dross Presses - ALTEK’s press portfolio includes the small footprint Compact Dross Press, incorporating the latest Compact Dross Presses technology.
• Tilting Type Rotary Furnace - Whether you process aluminium dross, UBC, chips or iron scrap, the ALTEK Melting Solutions TTRF® can increase throughputs, improve metal recovery and lower overall energy consumption.
• Ingot & Sow Casting Machines - ALTEK Ingot Casting Lines are used to convert liquid aluminium, typically from Tilt Rotary Furnaces or Holding Furnaces into small ingot stacks.
• Sow Mould & Ingot Castings - Through our experience in designing durable castings for the ALTEK Dross and Salt Slag cooling presses, ALTEK has expanded its product base and now supplies a variety of casting products for the aluminium industry.
• Aluminium Salt Slag Cooling Press - The ALTEK Salt Slag / Rotary Furnace Slag Cooling Press is based on the same principle as the ALTEK TARDIS Gen III technology but it has several special design features.
• OnSpec™ Continuous Molten Metal Analysis - Metal quality is a critical and essential part of the finished product and the control of this as an integral part of the production process. OnSpec™ is a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy allowing real-time process control.

To provide our customers with the best technology and knowledge to meet their needs through a deep understanding of their production processes, operation, equipment and operational cost and profitability requirements. To treat our customers as partners and to take full responsibility for our equipment and its performance. To use our process and engineering expertise and experience to move towards the goal of zero waste in dross handling. Our aim is the provision of an end to end cast house solution to the aluminium industry.
