Rodabell Technology produces high quality aluminum billets and slabs, known for their smooth surface finish, small shell zone, and uniform-grain structure. The direct chill (DC) casting process extracts heat through two mechanisms: first through the mold wall as the molten metal contacts it, and secondly through direct contact (or “direct chill”) with a specifically designed water pattern as the semi-solidified billet exits the mold. This casting method reduces the internal stress in the cooled material by allowing contractions on all side, as opposed to only on the top of the ingot in a traditional trough mold.

This technology is applied in  billet and slab in the measurements and quality requested by the client. All stages of the process are carried out by the Rodabell team, from design to manufacturing.

The Rodabell/Permatech Engineering Services Team is a leader in engineering the utilization of refractory shapes for aluminum Table Top Troughing Systems. We house all the necessary design, engineering and manufacturing expertise to produce a complete reline for your Table Top Trough System that will conform to the specific assembly desired.

Delta is the most suitable material for slab and billet distribution launder applications. It is a refractory fiber composition that exhibits excellent insulation properties, high strength, resistance to thermal shock, and is resistant to attack by molten metal alloys.

The workers of Rodabell gather at a meal to celebrate the retirement of the charismatic Agripino Izeda.

From Rodabell send all the love and gratitude to Agripino for all his years of work and effort within the corporation.

Rodabell successfully closes the modification of the mantel reverberatory furnace destined for the reception and elaboration of cast aluminum for one of its main customers. The scope of the project consisted in the engineering, design, manufacture and assembly of the mechanical elements, steel structure and refractory materials for:

1. A main door in refractory concrete 6.3×1.8 meters that allows alloying, skimming , and stirring operations, the milkshake, elaborated and desescoriado of the oven.
2. A secondary door of 2×1.5 meters that allows the loading of metal.
3. The manufacture of a new chimney and a new flue for the smoke outlet. All this is powered by a new high-precision mechanical-hydraulic system that has improved the energy efficiency of the oven and the sliding movements of doors and flue door.

All phases of the project were executed in less than two months, a clear commitment by Rodabell to reduce delivery times and help improving the production process of its customers.
