Raw material purchasing
We use a wide range of scrap types to produce casting alloys. The quality of our aluminium products is closely linked to the type of raw materials used, and as such, we carefully consider all purchases made. The detailed classification of the scrap to be procured is a core part of the contract concluded with each supplier. The raw material batches are prepared on three manual sorting lines. A new automated sorting plant was set up in Oświęcim in 2016. All deliveries are carefully controlled, documented and archived.
We purchase such materials as:
Aluminium scrap:
- ductile aluminium
- Cast aluminium (engine blocks, housings, rims)
- 99% pure aluminium (profiles, electronic wire, offset, food-grade aluminium/clean sheets)
- aluminium machining chips
- A7, A8, A85 primary aluminium
- drosses
- insulated copper cable
Alloying additives:
- silicon metal
- nickel
- copper
- fluxing salts
