A1 solutions for large volumes of high-quality strip
TCM - The most efficient solutionAA3xxx and AA5xxx-series aluminum grades are typically used for manufacturing beverage cans. This is where tandem cold mills (TCM) offer you the most efficient solution. Operating several single-stand mills doesn't make economic sense, especially if you want a production volume of up to 400,000 tpy. That's why there is high market demand for TCM with two to four stands in CVC® plus design.
Flexible Designs For Automotive Grade
Solutions for combined reduction and skin pass / EDT rollingThere is an ever-growing demand from the automotive industry for aluminum. Highly formable 5xxx-series alloys are mainly used for inner car body parts, whereas 6xxx-series alloys are favored for exposed outer parts. To ensure you meet car manufacturers' requirements, we developed our innovative combined reduction and EDT rolling mill. It's available in single or twin-stand versions.
