A new melting furnace has been commissioned in the casthouse of GC Astek-MT production facility.
Commissioning of the third automatic furnace for 30 tonnes of molten material will allow to increase the volume of finished products of the casting area of the production facility up to 48,000 tonnes of aluminium billets per year.
It is important to note that the new furnace is designed with regard to all environment protection requirements. Its construction includes the system of valves through which the gas processed during melting is supplied to the general gas treatment system. Thus, direct release of harmful waste to the atmosphere is completely excluded.
