Production facility — The Electrolysis factory: The Aluminium Smelter consists of two units each containing 42 pots each. The main piece of equipment in these units is a 240 kA electric current electrolysis pot. There is also a bridge crane in the pot room, which is an integral part of the technological equipment used in the smelter. It is used for anodes installation and switching, breaking of electrolyte crust, addition of alumina on the anode surface, transportation of the crucible, etc. Protecting the environment and caring for the health of our employees is the main goal for Azeralumin. For this purpose, a gas purification system was installed at the electrolysis plant. Each module of the dry gas cleaning system consists of 12 filters connected to an absorption reactor that serves 84 electrolysis baths.

Production facility — Continuous casting and rolling plant: The main function of the Continuous Casting and Rolling Plant (Mill) is to produce aluminum products such as ingots and continuous casting coils. The plant is located next to the smelter in order to avoid liquid aluminum temperature loss during transportation. Once delivered to the mill, liquid aluminum is moved to the gas fired melting furnace for metal flux mixing and different alloys are added depending on target specifications. During this process impurities are removed and chemical composition is equilibrated. Depending on the desired product the molten aluminum can be introduced into either the casting and rolling line or ingot casting line. Casting coils’ thickness range is 6 -8 mm (0.236”-0.315”) and width range is 1000 -1700 mm (39.37”-66.929”)
