The machinery and equipment used in the aluminum industry can be classified into three main categories:
1. Machinery for the Preparation, Recycling, and Production of Raw Materials:
- Aluminum scrap baler: Used to compact and recycle aluminum waste.
- Casting machines: Various types for melting and casting aluminum into different shapes.
- DC furnaces: For melting and casting aluminum directly for production.
- Aluminum homogenizing furnaces: Used to enhance the consistency and quality of aluminum ingots.
2. Machinery for the Production and Extrusion of Aluminum Profiles and Tubes:
- Extrusion dies: For shaping aluminum into desired profiles.
- Extrusion presses: Machines that push aluminum through dies to create profiles.
- Automatic extrusion press tables: For handling and processing extruded profiles.
- Stretch press tables: Used for stretching extruded profiles to ensure straightness.
- Aging ovens: To strengthen aluminum profiles through heat treatment.
- Aluminum profile polishing machines: For polishing aluminum to achieve a smooth surface.
- Aluminum profile brushing machines: For brushing aluminum profiles for surface treatment.
- Aluminum profile shot blasting machines: To clean and prepare surfaces by blasting them with abrasive material.
3. Machinery for Cutting, Fabricating, and Assembling Aluminum Products:
- CNC saws with movable tables: For cutting aluminum profiles with various angles and precision.
- Thermal break profile stitching machines: For creating energy-efficient aluminum profiles by joining two parts with a thermal barrier.
- Pneumatic punching machines for aluminum profiles: For making holes and cutting shapes in profiles.
- Milling machines: For processing aluminum profiles with precision cutting and shaping.
- Assembly machines for doors and windows: For the assembly and fabrication of aluminum doors and windows.
