10 March 2025 - The Complete Casthouse Technologies Solution From 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.

• Curved Electromagnetic Furnace Stirring System - Following the curved profile of the dome furnace, Altek's Curved EMS with unique quick direction switching control systems ensures excellent molten metal flow throughout the furnace and not just high velocity movement round the edge of the furnace.
• Submergence Electromagnetic Furnace System - Able to be installed new, or retrofitted onto existing furnaces, Altek's unique EMS design can submerge aluminium scraps fed into a side-port, whilst also circulating the furnace itself for temperature and chemical homogeneity.
• OnSpec™ Continuous Molten Metal Analysis - In-situ, real time molten metal specification analysis tool revolutionises the way alloying and quality control can be conducted. Fixed, transportable and launder applications can be applied in the cast house to suit our customer's needs.
• Side-Mounted Electromagnetic Furnace System - Positioned on the side of back of the furnace, Altek's unique EMS system provides excellent circulation for any furnace type or size
• Rhino Cast Dross Pans - Utilising a low carbon cast steel alloy, with 60 models to choose from and a range of single and multi-chamber options, these robust dross pans are designed to last in the volatile cast house environment.
• TARDIS Generation III Dross Press - Invented by Altek in the early 1990s, Altek's dross press is one of the most widely used dross management equipment in the industry, combining good in-house drain with excellent secondary recovery potential, saving aluminium units and maximising value from dross.
• Bottom Mounted Electromagnetic Furnace System - Either static install, or on movement and lifting systems, Altek's bottom mounted EMS is perfect for improving furnace productivity, reducing energy consumption and reducing dross generation.
• Side-Well Electromagnetic Furnace System - Altek's EMS can be installed onto side-well furnaces to replace mechanical pumps, removing the requirement for pump-wells, reducing down-time, increasing mass metal flow in both directions for improved melting and homogeneity.
