Turnkey aluminum granule production mini-plant
- Modern Technologies Modern Technologies is an engineering company specializing in designing and deploying modern industrial solutions in metallurgy, foundry production, and metal recycling. We offer the design, supply, and start-up of turnkey aluminum granule production mini-plants, delivering the full process cycle - from aluminum feedstock to finished granulated product. Our solutions are focused on energy efficiency, high output, and consistent quality of aluminum granules for industrial use.
The mini-plant is designed to produce aluminum granules from:
- Aluminum scrap.
- Aluminum waste.
- Secondary aluminum.
- Aluminum ingots.
- Foundry residues.
- Return metal. Aluminum granules are used in:
- Metallurgy.
- Foundry production.
- The chemical industry.
- Powder production.
- Deoxidizers.
- Alloy production.
- Aluminothermy.
- Powder metallurgy. Producing granules makes it possible to efficiently recycle aluminum waste and get a product that is convenient to transport and dose.
The production process includes the following stages:
- Receiving and preparing the aluminum feedstock
- Aluminum melting
- Melt cleaning
- Aluminum granulation
- Cooling
- Drying
- Sorting
- Packaging
The technology delivers granules of consistent size and high purity.
