Comprehensive engineering solutions for aluminium and fluewall maintenance industries
Industrial Solutions
We are ready to tackle your most demanding challenges. Our mission is simple: boost your productivity through proven expertise backed by over a decade of successful projects. We design and manufacture mission-critical material handling and processing systems for leading industrial facilities around the world.
As your productivity partner across diverse industries, our experienced team of engineers, designers, and project managers is committed to maximizing your plant's performance—delivered on schedule and within budget.
Whether developing new equipment or delivering a complete material handling solution, we tailor every project to meet your unique industrial requirements.
Extrusion Billet Batch Homogenizing Systems
Fully automated or semi-automated material handling for extrusion billets for homogenizing and on to sawing operations. We design and build a highly efficient automatic aluminium batch homogenizing build and break down system.
Our competitive advantage: Our gantry system does not touch the aluminium billets. All motions that we make during the transfer of the extrusion billets are made in linear motions. This improves the reliability and position of the billet at the transfer point.
Our solution ensures:
- Uniform load growth during the homogenizing cycles
- Linear motions for aluminium billet transfer – no log rolling
- Robust billet homogenizing furnace spacers to prevent loads from shifting
Extrusion Billet Sawing and Packaging Systems
Fully automated or semi-automated material handling for extrusion billets for internal or external supply. We provide our customers with the world's most automated and productive aluminium extrusion billet sawing and packaging systems.
Our solutions can be either automatic or semi-automatic and will package the billets and logs for internal use or to supply your customer. The billets and logs are typically prepared to industrial shipping standards but, we can design the packaging line to meet your specific needs.
These systems are tailored to suit customer production requirements and include:
- High speed and robust roller conveyors
- High capacity accumulation conveyors
- Smooth and quiet 90 degree pick and place transfer devices

Benefits associated with such charging and tending systems include:
- Increased throughput
- Reduction of damage to the furnace linings
- Ability to use a greater percentage of scrap
- Reduction of gas usage
- Increased operator safety
Sow Casting Systems
We design and build a full range of sow casting systems from 5 to 40 tonne per hour in both air cooled and water cooled versions. These systems can be very basic and used as a back-up to other more sophisticated casting machines or they can be fully automated with a marking and packing line and used as mission critical processing lines.
Our systems include:
- Gantry style cranes for crucible transportation
- Crucible tilter stations
- Robotic or dedicated skimming stations
- Sow mould train or turntable style
